I have a problem, my turtle i just adopted has worms. The vet said i should inject the medicine into a worm (which i did!) and it was disgusting, but the problem is he wont eat it. The vet now says i should force feed him but im scared i will hurt him. Are there any suggestions as to a gentle non-traumatizng way to do this or something to inject that he wont be able to resist?? (I've already tried strawberrys, crickets) Thanks!!!

To force feed your turtle, grab hold of his leg, gently pull on it til he sticks his head out to bite.
