Hi all,
I'm freaking out a bit, Peppa is a Solomon Island Eclectus just to start off with. I weighed her as the guy I bought her off said she looks a little small for her age which is 11 months old. She only weighs 300 grams. He suggested I worm her, which I did but no difference. She eats all the fruit and veg imaginable. I'm home with her so I'm constantly making sure she always has food available. I feed her fruit in the mornings, she has fresh carrot and corn on the cob available through the day and at night around 5.00 she has her veg chop with brown rice. She starts to eat like she loves it but then after about 10 minutes she climbs back on top of her cage to play or chat and doesn't want to eat anymore. I seem to be throwing out more food that what she eats.
Please help - what can I do? And she has also lost her tail feathers.
