Getting Better+Feeding and Hydration Help

[SweetSpicyDragon]

I'm still worried about my dear boy Hydra. Is he recovering properly? Does he look healthy for his age? He hasn't been eating as much and I can't get him to drink water anymore except for his antibiotics in the morning, any tips on that?

He looks pretty good. Nice and alert. For the water I would just fill a nice big syringe with water and keep dripping it on his nose. Might want to put a towel down to pick up what he ignores. The movement of the drops will likely entice him to have a drink if he wants it. You may wind up wasting a fair bit but that's OK. Don't push it too hard but it's important that he stays well hydrated while on antibiotics so I'd be sure he has as much as he wants.

Okay, thanks for the info! He's been a bit of a handful recently but I'd do anything for my reptile babies
