vet says he is ok

[iwoodtoo]

but.......it has been 14 days now since this new BD has eaten anything. He is about 6-7 weeks old and has not grown at all. All of the required specs. are up to snuff and i am running out of ideas of what to tempt him with as far as food goes. I even warmed up his baby food with water and vitamins and calcium to make a semi-liquid potion that i tried to feed him with an eye dropper , but he just locks his jaws tight.

Here is a thread that mentions different techniques people use to get their beardie to open their mouth for medicine or for food.

I hate to say it but you may have to sorta force it open. If it's a plastic dropper you should be able to pry it some what.

Sounds like you have a stubborn one on your hands. Have you squirt some right on the his gums?
You could take him to the vet and have the girls do it for you. They should not charge you.
