Force feeding??

[Seffers93]

I took my jackson's to the vet this morning. This is the fourth day he hasn't eaten anything and he's starting to look pretty bad...
The vet gave me medicine to give him on a daily basis, but I have to force feed him, and I get can't his mouth open.
Help please??

You should be able to get a plastic nipple syringe at any post store (normally in the bird isle) or drug store. Then i just pop it into their cheek and hope they get pissed off enough to open their mouth. Its either that or inject it into a worm or something if they are still eating.

You don't need to force open his whole mouth.
Just open his lips a little and give him a drop from the syringe and he will automatically open his mouth and start to lick the fluid. While he licks the fluid you can stick a cricket or worm into his mouth

good luck
