It is stressed out and needs to be released. wc animals are sometimes not meant to be kept. If he is not eating he needs to be let go where he was found. Forcefeeding the miserable little animal will do no good because he will eventully wither and die regardless. He just needs to be returned to his home. To not do so would be selfish...
