Yoshi is doing well with his battle against MBD, he is more active and is showing more bone strength. The problem is that he has learned a new "trick"; He knows not to open is mouth for anything now, no matter what we do to make him open his mouth he absolutley will not do it. The problem in this is that he is still not willing to eat so we have to force-feed him and we also have to administer his calcium supplements orally. Anybody know any tricks to make him do it? He needs food bad...

If he drinks when you drip water on his nose, then you could try putting the calcium in while he's drinking. I have often stuck a cricket between the teeth of one while its drinking too. (I squish the head of the cricket first so that it doesn't bite the chameleon.)
It concerns me that he won't eat...even with assistance. he should be hungry...unless you are feeding him more often? I hope he will be okay.
