Out of all the captive and wild caught Northerns, Southerns and Deserts I've dealt with, none have had to be forcefed (save for a few neonates). No doubt the problem is completely husbandry or technique related. Forcefeeding with juvenile or older Adders will only add to the stress - for it to get to the size it is now it would have had to have been previously eating, so locate the reason it's not and fix it.

Chris's suggestion of tormenting is normally the best way to have a go at it, but if you want some other suggestions that have worked wonders for a collector of A.wellsi in WA, send me a PM.
