Syringe Feeding is easier than I thought!

Thanks to all the advice I got on this site from all the guinea pig owers, I have managed to syringe feed without problem. I didnt even have to hold Maah, he ran towards me in his cage and gobbled all his liquid nuggets! Thank you for all the advice, it really helped. Mash squeaked ''Thank you'' as well! x

Lucky you! Syringe feeding Smudge in his last few days was very tricky and stressful!

Good on you!

Syringe feeding can be a real struggle with very ill piggies, but it is more our fear and insecurity that is the problem at first because we project it on the animals, which doesn't help. A lot of it is simply practice, though!

Glad that is working for you!

I'm so glad your piggy enjoys it! My Bramble absolutely loves getting critical care from a syringe, I think she likes the extra attention too. Trying to syringe feed Shelly when she was unwell though was like trying to feed a bar of soap
It makes recovery so much less stressful for us when they cooperate!

Christian and Betsy were easy to syringe feed once they got hang of the idea that the syringe meant food and it tasted nice.
