Very gently. What I usually do is grab the gecko right in front of his front legs to tuck all his legs into your hand, then if you just just hie nose, he'll usually open his mouth right up and you can throw a mealie in or whatever your going to feed him.

Nate, you can force feed like replied also you can mash up mealies,crix or waxworms and inject with a needless syringe into the mouth. Force feeding is a last resort to tend to, it causes alot of stress in animals but if it saves their life it is worht it.
