Go to google and search for "The Little Jimmy Jr." it's a cool little tool that the pros at zoo's use, or so I hear. Also try a pill hidden in a burrito of lettuce. That works on mine..

: Go to http://www.google.com/
: and do a search of Gechelone denticulata
: You'll get all you want.

: If it wont eat thats a tough one. If it is a big tortoise you have a fight on your hands.
: If it is a small tortoise hold the head behind the jaws with your thumb and middle finger. Use your index finger to carefully open the bottom jaw. Gently apply pressure and the jaw should open as it relaxes. Pop in the meds with the other hand. (takes practice).
: Ed


: : How do you get medicine down a tort that wont eat? And is there any good web sites on Yellowfoots?
