Green cheek conure
I am raising a pineapple green cheek conure. It's with me from August 2026 when it aged 20 days.
Only handfeed for 1st 40 days. Then it started eating soaked green moong apples papaya guava. seedmix is given once a day with safflower, sunflower, oats, occasionally millet
Kept continuing once daily handfeeding.
Providing multivitamin and calcium suppliments too. It's doing well BUT

The problem is: it is not gaining much weight it seems. And for last two days I am noticing the features look dull and no shine.

Consider me a newbie with conures and pls help me explaining what might be going wrong. Attaching some pictures. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forum! I do not have experience with conures so I am not sure about their diet specifications. Others hopefully will help with that. But I think that the feather issue is just normal molting, which can be helped with light warm spraying with water.
