I have a 8-9 week old indian ringneck baby and he wont eat his formula and Im afraid he will starve. I have tried everything and thought maybe he will eat infant cereal. Can anyone tell me if this may be safe for him?
Yes I am feeding him the formula the breeder provided me. The baby cereal only has 3 grams of sugarI’ve never hand fed a baby or had experience doing so, but babies should eat consistently.
I would say that the baby formula is probably not suitable as the second ingredient is sugar.
When was the last time he ate his parrot formula?
Is this a baby you purchased from a breeder?
If so, are you trying to feed him the same formula the breeder had him on?
Please take your baby bird to an avian vet. A healthy baby has healthy appetite and feeds well.I’m not experienced with this so hopefully someone who has raised a baby can help you further!
Has he eaten today?
