Update: it’s been 36 hrs since he has eaten or drank. He has not come out of his shell other than a peak since the vet saw him. He is like in shock. No one handles him but me or my mother. He won’t come out and I am afraid because he has not eaten or drank. Anyone??
Is he warm enough first off?? I would make sure to soak him in warm water. Not deeper than his nostrils. This should keep him hydrated. As far as him eating the soaking may entice him to eat. I would not worry about him not eating just yet. He will eat when he is ready. You could start off by placing a little fruit like a strawberry in front of him right after the soak. See if he eats that or shows any interest. Make sure he is warm all of the time as well. Some others on here will have some great suggestions as well. Right now I would say keeping him hydrated is the most important thing. Just like us, we can go a long time without food. But we cannot go that long without water.Update: it’s been 36 hrs since he has eaten or drank. He has not come out of his shell other than a peak since the vet saw him. He is like in shock.
