Essentially I egree. However, he was quite thin and very weak when I got him and it seemed a better option than starvation. And technically, it's not "force-feeding" which would be pushing it down the gullet - it's just placing it in the mouth so they have the option to spit it out. The stress factor is too much though and I have stopped doing this.

His appetite has returned a bit and he went after some crickets after I discontinued the Flagyl.

I'm setting something else up for the female now, to give her some seclusion and hopefully lay the rest of the eggs.
