I've had my male Eclectus for almost 2 weeks now.
I purchased him hand raised and fully weaned from a very reputable breeder, in fact you pay a premium on the birds from them.
First week his eating was fine, the breeder mentioned he loves sweet potato mash, so i started making it.
Since then he's only eating the sweet potato mash, he will nibble at a few beans and snow peas, but he won't eat the fruit as a majority.
He has seeds and pellets to which they have supplied. But won't touch anything.
This is all i can get him to eat,
Sweet Potato mash
Pomegranate
Snow Peas (small Amounts)
Beans (Small Amounts)
Corn (Small Amounts (as naturally not allowed much)
Paw Paw (small amounts)
Seed
Dried Fruits
Won't eat (To what I have tried)
Mango
Cauliflower
Cucumber
capsicum
Apples
Banana
Peaches
Plums
Carrots
So I'm starting to be a little concerned about his health if he won't eat much... Or why he's only eating specific foods.
For the first time today, he bit everyone and didn't want to get out of his cage, i fear something could be wrong.
Any suggestions would help
