he sniffs it but then turns away, guess its not rlly all that appealing.. or hes just refusing cause of the medicine which he doesnt seem to like, but hes swallowing them fine and wat not, the syringe i was given is a 15ml so i need to like feed him a few times hes def perked up a tiny bit more
 
If he is happy to have the syringe feeding from you it is good as its saves a big battle my guinea hated it. You are doing great 👍

yeaa ive been waking up early, around 5am, check on him and make sure hes warm and wat not, clean up the cage from his partners poo, start his medicine at 8am... and start making his feed... then i feed him every now and then through out the day, and keeping him near me... i dont go to bed till like 12am or 1am and even then I'm up through out the night checking on him and not disturbing him till morning again
 
Be careful using such a big syringe. Syringe feeding is best done from a smaller syringe - we recommend a 1ml syringe

alr, ill get one tomoz when those open, I'm hoping they r on display or summit.. not very good with human interaction

If they're not on display just ask for one.I'm not good with human interaction too as I have social anxiety but they really are better for syringe feeding.I cut the end off as it makes it so much easier to get the syringe feed up it.

It's hard looking after piggies when they are ill and it's all new to you. You have done so well. Look after yourself.
