The vet said to give him natural sunlight, which I have been doing. However, I leave him outside longer than 45 minutes because the heat is so intense. 140 surface temps and the air temperature is almost 100. Ive been force feeding him food, is that the right thing? Once its in his mouth he'll eat it. And no, he's gained 500 grams since I've had him. The thing is, I don't know what to do if he doesn't start eating. He had parasites for a long time, so his stomach is probably messed up, but he won't take anything, at all :/.
