weaning my baby lutino IRN
Anyone who can help me out. I have ababy that is not accepting his syringe with formula and is not eating soft food i offer from my finger.
Re: weaning my baby lutino IRN
Put 2 fingers around the neck and syringe it in hes mouth baby birds have to be force fed it may sound horrible but it is what has to be done if he is not eating
Re: weaning my baby lutino IRN
jay is right most irn bubs do need a bit offorce feeding
however ive had several bubs that never took to the syringe but took to the hand rearing spoon like ducks to water if you cant buy one try bending a teaspoon it works just as well

Re: weaning my baby lutino IRN
how old is this baby, have you asked the breeder? I don't like to sell unweaned babies, its too risky, i wait it out, even if it takes alittle longer than usual, don't heat up the formula over 110F it will give your baby crop burn, mix it to look like catchup, sometimes when its too cold they refuse to eat it also Hope this helpsbirdlady808 wrote:Anyone who can help me out.
