Hi All,
I have posted already saying that I am getting a 13 week old male baby eclectus, I have not got him!
Now really need advice because I'm really worried.
The breeder said he was eating fruit and veg and was only needing feeding once on a night. When I was there yesterday he let me hand feed him and he was really tame and sat on me.
Iv brought him home in a travel cage but do not want to grab him so I have the travel cage upto his big cage with the doors oped so he can go in whenever he feels ready. He's been looking in all the time and has been so close so many times! This is now his second night and has still not left the small cage and I am worried he is getting to used to it! Whats your advice on this situation?
Also when I am hand feeding him he eats fine of the spoon but has not attempted to eat any fruit/vegetables, seed, and haven't even seen him drink!
He has just started toe tapping tonight which I'm assuming its because he's not eating his seed or fruit?
He is also looking like he wants to bite me if my hand gets near without food but I understand he needs lots of time to get used to hide surroundings and need gain trust in me so I have not attempted to handle him.
Any advice on my situation would be great because I'm starting to panic.
Thanks
Dan.
