: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
Did you say the temp is kept in the low 20's? Celsius? Fahrenheit? Something just isn't right, especially when you say you've lost another after morphing. What kind of substrate exactly? And what kind of light? I've never force fed any animal so I can't help there.
