[QUOTE="mactac, post: 2037024, member: 117478"] Thanks! Nari went though a tough period maybe 9 months ago - she was syringe fed for about 3 months, then started eating on her own. She ended up getting parasites 2-3 months ago, and then stopped eating again I think that the parasites did a pretty good number on her this time. We are hopeful since we successfully nursed her through it the previous time, though it's basically just trial and error. I would love to hear from more people on how they managed to transition from syringe to real food again, since I feel that she's just used to the syringe now as "the way to eat". We stop feeding her for a few days at a time once in a while just to try to coax her to eat , but so far no luck. Since she is sick, we are reluctant to let her starve for too long - just 3-4 days maximum. Gary is doing great - she didn't eat on her own for about 3 months, and seems to be quite healthy. Gary is older than Nari (Gary is about 1.7 years old now) , and we suspect that she caught it from Nari who had it from the breeder. It's possible that Gary has done better because she didn't have it when she was really young. It would be great to have everyone's experience on how to get them eating again after syringe feeding compiled into a document somewhere, as there seems to be a complete lack of info. I know that every beardie is different, but I'm sure there are some best practices that we can share. I think the same is with my original question in this post - there isn't any information available - I realize that not enough research has been done, but many of us have gone through this and has successes and made mistakes along the way, and it would be really nice to see strategies and outcomes that people have experienced. That's what research is after all :) [/QUOTE]
