Basking in his free range this morning, just after he woke up....he is looking better every day now and still trying to catch prey with his nub of a tongue but with no good results, so still force feeding, but he is taking to it very well, he did catch a super worm on his own yesterday.

He looks fantastic, I am so happy to see him looking proud and healthy! Keep up the great work, he will figure it out :)
 
he looks GREAT Sherri!!!!!!! im sooo glad hes doing well, but im not surprised with a mama like you!! :)

as far as his eating.. if you hold a worm or cricket up to his mouth, will he not open it and attempt to get it into his mouth? and if he does open it a bit can you kinda push/put the feeder halfway into his mouth? im just trying to figure a way away from the forced feedings...
i see its working but it would make you feel better for him to take it from you than what you have to do.. prob make him feel better also. :)

anyway,, you guys have done a great job with him!!!! ;)
 
He looks amazing! He also looks like he is feeling pretty amazing. Every time I see pics of him I am in awe of you guys dedication to get him where he is now!!

Thanks Lisa, he will sometimes take it from our hand but not that often, if he is really hungry he may take a worm if he sees it wiggle a little, but in the force feedings he knows what is coming so he is very easy to get his mouth open, but if he is not hungry, you can't hardly pry his mouth open.

Thanks Cammie, so kind of you to say that.
 
Your boy isn't looking good, he is looking just wonderful. You really worked to get him back up to speed, and he is coming along great. Will he still not hand feed? That would help both of you so much. fingers crossed.

Thanks Laurie....he tries to eat right out of the hand but most times he can't quite get it into his mouth and becomes uninterested after two or three times of failure.....but we work with him on it everyday.

He looks amazing, with everything that he has been through!!! You are an amazing "mom"!!!
Thank you Beth, that is very kind of you to say, but I also have to credit my husband with a lot of it also, he has been the best cham dad I could ever hope for.

what an amazing comeback. So awesome to see.
Thank you very much!
