    SYRINGE FEEDING: keep getting bit!

    My girl is being syringe fed at the moment as she's not well, but no matter how many times I do it & no matter what yummy things i put in the syringe she HATES it. & I'm not using the term hate lightly. She has never hissed or bitten anyone before until we started syringe feeding & for the first...

    Force feeding?

    She's perked up so much it's unreal. Awake every day now. I scattered locusts in the tank last night to try and intice her. This morning I go to clean her out and every single one is gone. I'm so happy :D so I've stopped force feeding for now! She's still on the calcium and vitamin supliment and...

    Force feeding?

    Crazy how much a little bit of food in her belly perks her up, she hasn't tried to hide up anywhere and go to sleep for almost 4 days now, still won't eat any bugs but I noticed a locust that was in the tank last night isn't in there anymore :-)

    Force feeding?

    She's awake and alert and has been for the last couple of days so that's good. Still can't get her to cooperate with the syringe though, she even hisses at me when I try open her mouth, & for about an hour afterwards she's grumpy & doesn't want anything to do with me!

    Force feeding?

    That's what I thought! She's too young! But the vet said she might lay some! & I can't feel any inside her unless I'm completely missing them which I doubt

    Force feeding?

    She's just under a year 105 under the light, 90 in the middle and 80 in the cool end She hasn't lost much weight, it's not visible I'm using a big water bowl filled with sand that I keep damp so it can form I can't feel any eggs though that's what I find weird! But the vet said she was healthy...

    Force feeding?

    She hasn't been completely starved but she's literally eating maybe 2 bugs a week on her own & a few mouthfuls of salad. Whereas before she was eating 10 crickets a day (at the least) a nice big bowl of salad and a little treat of a worm or a locust! She was a monster when it came to food She's...

    ADVICE NEEDED! Poorly beardie

    She's never drank water still and is always stubborn about taking it off her nose so bathing her is the only way I can get her hydrated! But not once have I pinched her and it didn't go straight back down

    Force feeding?

    Day 3 of force feeding & I'm a very happy girl! She's perked up, but still isn't quite herself! & she pooped today after not going for a week so the food must be doing her some good right? When I give her the baby food through the syringe she just lets me do it and let's it go into her mouth but...

    ADVICE NEEDED! Poorly beardie

    I agree! My worry isn't making things any better but it helps a lot being able to talk to people about it that have a bit more experience than me, meaning you guys! So thank you :)

    ADVICE NEEDED! Poorly beardie

    She's sussed out the syringe now, when I get it out she runs away! I feel so bad for her because she hates it and I don't want her to hate me because I'm the one that's putting her through it :(

    ADVICE NEEDED! Poorly beardie

    Yes I got a liquid formula of vitamins and calcium from my vet. Mum picked up some cow & gate sweet potato baby food, she's basking in the sun at the minute, and then I'm going to give her a bath, then try it out. Fingers crossed!

    ADVICE NEEDED! Poorly beardie

    They love the real sun!! My mum wants to get a little run to put in the garden so we can let them on the ground without being scared we'll lose them. Also I don't like the idea of her licking the floor and stuff like that so us thinking of putting a blanket down because god knows what's on the...

    Force feeding?

    How much in the syringe? And any flavour baby food will be alright? Or is there one they'd prefer? She hates the syringe! Safe to say she hasn't liked me very much recently :(((
