    Re: Enough is enough

    Don't give up yet. Like everyone said, moving and offering multiple times in one day just stresses them out more. My pastel yb is going on a 2 month hunger strike and it really bothered me at first, but I've pretty much given up. She'll eat when she wants to. With yours just wait a while, getting bit probably really stressed him/her out even more. You don't want to make them afraid of food and you really don't need to worry too much until they start looking emaciated, then it might be time to consider assisted feedings or force feeding. If it comes to that, you should find someone who knows what they are doing to help you. Force feeding is super stressful and could cause more harm than good, do not try this by yourself.
