Syringe feeding a guinea pig

[Luvmyzoocrew]

I foster guinea pigs and my one is older and decides this morning that he istn going to eat so i have to syringe feed him CC. Johnnie is about 5 1/2, so he is elderly . I have never syringed fed anything, should i mix the critical care with water or baby food, or feed CC and baby food seperately? I havent done it yet.

Everyone keeps looking at me like they are expecting me to crack,lol. I am expecting Johnnie ill helath cause he is old but Sooty is who took me by surprise. Any tricks or help would be appreciated.

I'd feed them separately and offer them in small bowls or on a plate too in case he changes his mind and realizes that they're yummy and wants to eat them on his own. [[hug]]
