sounds pretty bad here are some ideas as to why /first thing I think of is parasites /the secound is the stress factor/and third would be temp. if temp is good /then what about total isolation/sometimes a lizard just want to relax /oh temps should be average 75 degrees feirenhiehgt with basking spots of over ahundred/now if it’s parasites /then you can treat your lizard //and if you must force feed well then do it wheres he/s gettin two superworms a day once in the am and once in the pm /you should see results soon /skinny frillies mean unhealthy frilly /my frilly ate 7 superworms a day now we are up to a heck of alot more/some of the lizards I’ve had to force feed for some reason tend to rely on it /and I’ve been doing it with a couple lizards forever they just won’t eat unless I’m holding them and coaxing them wierd huh ! anyway hope this helps Chip!

Is it okay if he will only eat and tropical roaches because after i started feeding him different types of roaches he wont eat crickets or mealworms.
