The oxbow your vet can provide you with some, there is a herbivore and carnivore version. Ideally you want both but you want to start out with just a little protein for now. If you get the carnivore version you can just omit the chicken/turkey. Mix with a little water till it's cake batter consistency. You can add a pinch of calcium with D3 and mix it up (3x week for calcium, 1x week vitamin on a day with no calcium). I bought those nipples you can buy for feeding kittens/puppies. Use a syringe with no needle, put the food in there and put the nipple on the end. I start out with putting a glob of food on the snout and let him lick it off. If he does not I open the side of his lip and place a little food in there. If he still won't eat I put a little pressure from the nipple into his teeth till he opens his mouth and tries to chew, that usually gets him going. It can take a while this way (maybe 20-30 min) but we do whatever we have to right? Try not to let him chew the nipple cause they can get holes real fast and we don't want them to accidently eat a piece of that. My beardie weighs around 340 grams so I feed him approximately 5mls 3x day. The food will also help keep him hydrated. Mine is 8 months so I feed him more often. You should buy a digital food scale to keep an eye on his weight.
