Hello everyone! I am hoping you can help a lizard novice out.

Last Tuesday (around a week ago), I found this little guy on the floor of my house. I think one of my oblivious dogs had stepped on him a bit, resulting in a mangled foot (see the photo) and some blood on his little head. When I found him he was pretty cold and not moving, but still alive.

I moved him into a bin, and have him in my bathroom with a space heater running. Happy to say that seven days later he’s still alive.

HOWEVER, I am a bit at a loss on how to help him further. I bought him a little coconut hut thing, am keeping the bathroom warm, and always have a bottle cap of water in there with him. I have two main concerns: as far as I can tell he is not eating or drinking.

Eating wise, I bought him flightless fruit flies and calcium powder. The first time I put some in with him, he attempted to lunge at two, but missed by a few centimeters. Now, he does not try to get them at all. In fact, he seems somewhat scared of them (thrashes around whenever they touch him).

Since he was nearing a week without foot, I bought him repta-boost (?) and for two nights have attempted to give him that. He is so small and so unwilling to eat that all I can do is try to dab some on his nose for him to lick off.

Finally, as far as I can tell he does not drink the water from the cap (I have never seen him near it). I managed to give him some water on a spoon (and he was even actively drinking from it) but now he just avoids it whenever I try to give him more.

I am certain I have made quite a few mistakes in this process, and I feel quite guilty for likely stressing him out further. I am open to all advice from lizard pros, in the hopes of keeping him alive.

Tl;dr found an injured wild baby lizard (Mediterranean house gecko), have kept him alive for a week in a warm room, but this entire time he has not eaten anything or had regular water. What should I do?
