    If he heats normally i will not give him that. Since he was force fed already and now has the exoterra bulb things might be better. Otherwise will syringe fed him. I used to have a blue led there at night he seemed more active. Is this recommended or not? Something like a night light?
    They are not necessary but can be used if you like. The important part is not using a light source that interferes with the animals day night cycle.

    Will only use to feed him then if they're not needed no need to waste power either.
    If it helps him see it is one thing if it only helps us see i'll connect it when i'm arround to feed him at night.

    Hey there.
    Force fed him the formula today, quite easy. He was not too upset and did it little by little.
    I will keep this going for a week or so and each time try to feed him normally before.

    What you are using is fine for supplements. You will need to give less often because adults do not need supplements as often as growing frogs. Once per week is sufficient.

    The formula is loaded with vitamins as well.

    The frog's poop will look quite different, but the majority of the solid matter will be absorbed with not much waste so the frog may not poop for a while when on the formula. You will notice if the frog poops it will look different.

    Alright man.
    Just finished feeding him is formula. He's starting to open mouth on his own.
    He seems to be shedding more and faster since on formula. Is it normal?

    It's probably unrelated.

    Observe the condition of his skin closely. Does he eat it like they normally do or does he slough off and leave it? Constant sloughing of the skin or trouble shedding usually indicate a skin condition like a possible fungal infection, but not always.
