Bert the redstripe has refused food for 3 weeks now Did try taking him for a drive last night which got him slightly interested but he still didnt eat . Is another drive worth a try ?

i have heard a drive helps but i have never tried it.

my advice would to be not to handle for 5-7days and then try to feed it using a very warm pinky. do you try strike feeding or drop feeding?

have a good read through this, plenty of ideas, but read the whole thread rather than going with the first new idea you come to
