Hey all,

What's the 'best' way of force feeding a tiger? Mine hasn't eaten since it morphed about a month ago, and it's awfully lethargic. I made a post on the 7th of May, but didn't get any feedback. I've got some earthworms and crickets...and I'm thinking if she gets any worse I might try to forcefeed her a worm. I realize force feeding places immense stress on the animal (not to mention the owner!), and should only be done as a last resort.

Thanks for advice (both to this and to the May 7th posting)
Matt
