Yesterday I adopted a 5 week old baby quaker and I am hand feeding him. I am curious about when to start weening him into seeds. I will be feeding him twice a day with tropican formula as instructed by the breeder, but when should I introduce him to seeds?
Also I have him in a large box closed (has airholes) with a smaller, topless box inside that I put a small towel for him to cuddle up in. Is this sufficient? My place is about 70 F at all times so if he is inside covered/cuddled up in the towel he should be plenty warm, right? I was told by the breeder I got him from that I can introduce him to a cage in the next 2 weeks or so.
The breeder is staying in contact with me and helping me through all of this I was just trying to get some other input as well and any helpful tips for raising this baby quaker. I have had birds in the past, but never raised them from this young of an age.
