i am a new member here. First to say" Hello to everyone"
i am now for hand feeding Macaw. I've got this baby for 4 weeks. 2 days ago, he started to refuse what i feed. the formula which i use is KAYTEE for macaw. his weight is 1,050 g from 1,100 g. It 's dangerous for Macaw losing 10 % of his weight. This morning I give him 50cc. He refused it. he actually ate 25cc. I decided to give him Banana. I have never give him fruits before. He ate them but just a piece of them. I am afraid that he will lose more weight.
Have you got any suggestions?
May I mix the formula myself? (how can i do that?)
Of cause,his crop is totally empty.
Time is 9 am, 3 pm, and 9 pm. it is about 6 hours,i will feed him.
This morning i gave him 60cc. follow some banana. on 3 pm. i gave him just 20cc. Then he refused but he ate some banana instead. on 9 pm in my country, i gave him 50cc. he actually ate. Then i placed some banana, papaya, tomato. He ate just some. if you want more ask my because i don't know what to be written down. Thank you so much.
