Force feeding is a LAST resort situation when everything else has been tried.
What is the enclosure size?
Do you provide tight hides (all sides touching your BP's body)
What are your temps?
What thermother do you use (dial, gage, digital?)
What is your humidity?
What prey have you been offering.
60 grams is hatching weight so obviously there is an issue here in most cases with new owners it is HUSBANDRY related.
At this size I would HIGHLY suggest to house the animal in a 6 quarts tubs (no bigger) with aspen shaving as substrate and (1) 6 inches plastic flower pot saucer for hide.
Temps should be 78/82 on the cool side and about 88 on the warm side.
Once you make the move wait a week and offer a live hopper mouse.
NO HANDLING until this animal eats with consistency.
