well spike is still on baytral and he seems to be a little better although he still won't eat ojn his own. i've been feeding him around 3cc og smashed repcal pellest mixed with probiotics everyday. he just won't take interest in food on his own.i'm going to go get more crixs tommorow and c if he wants some of those.

any ideas on how i can get him t eat again, he really needs to start gainin some of the 93 grams he lost back. he has been poopin (although it is weirs lookin because of his current diet)

thanks again

They get spoiled easy on the hand feeding, you'll probably have to wean him off of it. Try some salad on a baby spoon (that way if he bites it he won't get hurt) and work over to the dish.

I started giving him about 3-6 cc of mashed pellets from a syringe. at first I had to pry his mouh open. after a week or so, I would put the syringe in the cage and he would run over and open his mouth like a baby bird so I could just squirt it in. about 4 weeks later I finally realized he was pissed because i took out his water bowl. I put it back and he went back to normal.
