If I were you,I'd get some ensure and pedylite and try making a slurry from the Ensure with some pureed collards and see if you can just put a little on his snout.Force feeding can cause some real problems if you don't know how to do it properly.Pedylite mix with water an drip it on his nose to get his drinking reflexes going or open the side and drip a little in his mouth.How are his temps in his cage?Mist him often and if he's good aobut taking bathes,,give him some bathes.You might want to run the sink faucets for some humidity too,,steam up the room a little.Baby food mixed with the slurry will help also.Is his humidity right?
Hope this helps alittle.Have you got access to hibiscus bushes that are chemical free?Most igs love hibiscus and the leafs are good cal to pho ratio.
