Wow I just went over this whole thread. You did an amazing job with this little guy, keep up the great work!

I feel like he hates me because he doesn't drink or eat on his own so I have to force feed and water.
And it has to be done with a syringe down his throat so he doesn't aspirate.
He hates me

If it helps any we all love you to bits! He will come to love you, it is just taking a bit longer, but thanks to you, he will live to get there.

Buy a repti boost, it's just a shot you make up and give him a couple of times, you would have to way him, it will help him for for sure and spray water into his mouth

We have reptaboost.
And we weigh him every few days.
We don't want him to aspirate so we are watering him by syringe.
Thanks for the advise though.

Ad troubles a couple of months ago buying a ambilobe adult and the same happens to me, it's horrible isn't it but I used the repti boost and wormed him and just kept a close eye on him and now he is perfectly healthy and his colours picked right up so just monitor him an you will be ok. It looks like people have gave you some really good advice but also I've had a male before that I brought that was kept in with a female and I house my alone an he stopped eating complete for weeks untill I put him in with a female and he has been brilliant ever since, it may be worth a try

Since we have to give him water and bug juice via a syringe, how much would you guys say we should give him an hour? Don't want to over or under do it

 

[Cheyenneohhh]

I've been giving him 1ml of gut loaded dubia with a few of the tiny scoops of reptaboost blended with water about every hour.
I was wondering if this is enough or if I should do more more often.
I'm just afraid to over do it and make him throw up and lose energy and nutrients.
Help?

I've been following your posts and think you have done an amazing thing here. Keep on taking little baby steps with him. You are his only hope and I'll bet he knows it! Aren't these folks on this forum just the best ever?!

It's like a giant family community.
It's amazing.

I think about 5-10ml a day if he seems to be taking it down well, so i think you are doing a good ammount. Keep up the awsome job!!!

He actually seems to like it.
He hates when I give him water he fights it.
But when the stinky bug juice comes out he's all for it!

Well if he is taking it readily and seems to enjoy it I would give him upto around 10ml a day. If he enjoys it alot more than the water like you say, you could also add extra water to a dose or two and get the water is him that way, avoiding the stress of the water a bit.

That's a good idea.
Haha. I've just been torturing the poor guy.

He's but on weight and his grip is getting stronger but today he is very dark and his eyes seem more sunken.
He's not acting different but looks different.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Have you changed anything? Started giving him something new or stopped doing something?
