Emeralds babies.... questions on handfeeding.
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 2:54 am
i have just pulled emeralts babies from the nest for hand rearing.
they are very nice birds and emerald has done a great job looking after them
only problem is everywhere i look i con't find anything on amounts to feed.
i'm feeding every 4 hours ( they are 2-3 weeks old) and currently feeding 5 mls of kaytees exact HFF.
thier crops seem full but they keep asking for more.
i ignore thier pleas for feeds when thier cops still have some in it, but they are empting well before thier next feed.
the last thing i wanna do is strech the crop, i had to deal with that when we got amazon.
any help on quantities of feeding would me much apprecieated.
