Another little step which is really huge! I was thinking that....you never know....maybe feeding him like this might actually stimulate his tongue muscles/nerves and hopefully start them working again. It's kind of like someone who is bed ridden. If they don't need the use of their legs the muscles will atrophy and won't be usable for walking. But if they get up and start trying to walk, the muscles will eventually strengthen and start working again. The way you were feeding him before, he didn't really need his tongue, but now that he's eating regular food just the steady stimulation of the muscles/nerves might help....hopefully.

And I agree with everyone. He is such a little fighter and will learn to overcome this disability if his tongue decides not to cooperate. I really like the idea of the guinea pig bottle for water. Sounds like the perfect solution to me.

Keep up the good work....and when you get a chance.....more pictures please?
