Spot had surgery about 10 days ago and since then he has not been eating. I have been giving him his anti-biotics and pain medication by siringe along with water. He wont touch meal worms or crickets. Any thoughts? I can start trying to feed him blended crickets through siringe if need be but I would like him to start eating again on his own. Ideas?

I got him to eat 6 crickets today but he is still not chasing anything. I held them with tweasers and he got them. I will do that until he perks up.

It sounds like for right now..feeding him the way you are doing is the best thing to do (I would not like to be chasing food 10 days after surgery!!)
What did he have surgery for?
