Agreed on the force feeding- don't do it. I'm no expert on these guys as hatchlings, but I've kept a couple adults. One of the things I would do when one went "off feed" was to remove the water dish from the tank for a few days. When you're ready to try feeding again, (get a frozen pink) soak the pinkie until it's dripping wet, then place directly in front of hoggie's nose. Usually they come up and start to sip the water of the pink and kind of automatically start to eat it. Not every time, but it's worked for me about 75% of tries. Again, I'm no hatchling expert, so if one of you more experienced guys/gals wanna chime in, feel free. I'll take no offense to anyone calling me an idiot. Good luck!
Joe
