This thread is funny in a way, just reading all of our struggles with the problem. I have found that connecting medication with food can cause them to have a negative association with the food or the hand that feeds. Unfortunately, with our first dragon it broke the hand-feeding trust and even 8 months later the dragon will scrutinize any food we try to hand him. I wish we would have just pried his mouth open, to be honest.
These days we are patient and keep trying, keep trying to get them to open their mouths and take the medicine. Even if it takes a while, we have the time, and we are patient with them until they accept it.
