Well it is getting a little better, I got some more collard greens, a few pieces of snap pea, and a bunch of alphelpha sprouts in him between yesterday and today. He is getting so much better about being handled, I had him outside of the cage sitting in the sunlight on my desk for about 4 hours yesterday. He was just chilling while I was on the computer. Eating is still hard I still have to force the food under his lip to get him to open his mouth, but once its in there he chews it and swallows it just fine. I am going to experiment with some more foods now and see if there is anything in particular that he really likes. Im heading to the store today to get some more stuff. Im sure he will start to take it on his own soon. At least he is eating right? Thats better then not at all. Again thank you all for your help
-Update-
Yoshi is eating now, He is eating a good variety, and will willingly take anything he is offered, but he particularly loves fruit mangos are his favorite. He is begining to gain back the weight he lost as well. I still hand feed him he wont eat from his dish, but that is ok I wanted to hand feed him anyway. He is eating well, and he is getting really good about being handled. I take him out almost daily, and he stays out for a few hours at a time when he does. He is used to me and my girlfriend, but he doesnt do well with anyone else yet. Now that it is warmer out I have begun taking him outside regularly as well. I will post some pictures as soon as I get my camera back. Thank you all for your help, your suggestions worked, as usual thank you MFK
