how long since it has had a feed? tried a vet?

Yeah been to the Vet he had an injury about 10 months ago now, and his toungue was severed. So hence his jacobson organ is virtually uless to him.
He has eatten a few time since then on his own accored (after months of trying various methods and technequies) it has since been approximatley 4.5 months and he is lossing body mass. This is why I need to force feed as it is my last resort.

if you are unable to get to a vet, and noone here is able to help you (which i sincerely doubt) and it's his last chancce, try it yourself. i had to with a HATCHY. and a valuable one at that. its not so hard, easy to screw up, but if you're careful and approach the task with some respect for what you are attempting then you can't do much more harm that just letting it starve to death.
