Ok i think the vet mite have mentioned harrisons for when he gets older. I gave him his first bene bac and after like 10 mins he got so hyper, i took him and he played on me he flaps his wings real fast sometimes even though he can't fly its like he trys to take off.

Sure sounds like he is on the road to a speedy recovery.

i dont think the protine thing is a serious issue i mean bene bac is over the counter, i think im gonna but some and just keep it going, the vet says it wont hurt

When Rosie was a babe I fed her directly from my hand. It was messy but she ate much better this way at that time. As she has grown older it is a case of "Mom let me do it myself" as it should be.

Thanks for all the posts, im just gonna keep on until she starts geting intrested in other food and then start to ween her off the formula.
