So awhile ago I asked about ways to reducing itching because my Pico has been plucking his chest feather since his first molt. I saw from someone else's post with a suggestion for Featherrific to sprinkle on his food. This has worked wonders! Over the course of a month his gotten back more than half of the feathers missing. I have attached pictures so everyone can see the progress. The one inside the cage was from 3/11 and the one of him on his playtop is from 2 days ago. (Sorry some are sideways, I didn't know how to flip them. They're rightside up on my computer)
Also, I took him to the vet last week just to be sure he wasn't plucking for another reason and he came back perfectly healthy but she just suggested a slight change in diet. She wants 50% pellets and add grains (oat groats, spelt, barley, wheat berry, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, and flaxseed), veggies and fruits. He was already eating veggies and fruits, I guess he just needs more now.
My question is mainly about how others go about serving different things to their birds. The grains I'm testing out each one in tiny dishes to see if he'll eat them and so fair he loves them. I now mixed all of them together and keep it in cereal container. When giving them should I mix them with his pellets or have them separately? Or should have I have a pellet bowl, grains bowel, and fruit and veggie bowel? And someone how arrange that in his cage. haha
What kind of set up does any one else has and I'll take any suggestions for my situation.
