Force feeding after two months of not eating, with very little weight loss, is premature and will make the situation worse.

He was tested for parasites as soon as I saw that first poop and had none. He'll be getting tested again at vet appointment, too.
This species is commonly bred in captivity tho, not as common as bps but very common and producible. Mother was born in captivity as well.
And gotchu. Just a lil worried, but I won't resort to that til much later
