Hello all!
I haven't been on here very much lately - I've been soooo busy! I hope everybody's fids are doing great.
So, normally I give Hotrod fruits in the morning and place a mixture of seed, pellets, and occasionally a pinch of bee pollen (all being Goldenfeast brand) in his cage to eat during the day while I am at work. (He still doesn't eat very many pellets, but I am hoping that gets better one day since I put them with the seed every day.) Then in the evenings he gets his veggie/beans. My concern is that in a few weeks I am going on an eight day vacation. I am having my mother-in-law check on him and our cat once a day... to give Hotrod fresh water, fresh seed/pellets, a little bit of play time, etc. I can't ask her to go there at least twice a day to prepare him fresh fruit and veggies, then go back to remove it in a couple of hours. It's just too much to ask of her. So my question being... do you think Hotrod will be okay to go eight days with no fruits or veggies, living mostly on "Conure Gourmet Blend" seed mix? I was also considering getting him the Missing Link Ultimate Avian Supplement Formula to sprinkle in his food while we are gone...does anybody think this would be a good idea? Here's the link to it:
The Missing Link - The Missing Link Ultimate Avian Formula - 3.5 oz. Pouch
I am soooo nervous for leaving my little Hotrod for the first time....I hope he will be okay!! I would take him with me if we weren't going on a vacation where pets aren't allowed. How do yall's fids do when you leave them for a vacation?
