Hello there,
I'm here again with something that could be an issue with my 3 1/2 months caique.
When I got him, about 3 weeks ago, he was only taking formula 3x day, and egg dry, that's it. As it seemed very strange to me, I waited for a few days adding something extra to have him taste something new. I called the breeder (this is his 2nd home already) and he told me that he should be completely weened already and to cut the middle day formula.
I offer him a variety of food, his bowl are always full of something. He's nibbiling/eating everything I give him -seeds, daily fresh vegetables, fruits (he loves it!) Pellets, you name it, he has it.
However, I'm quite confused. As soon as he sees me he does his hungry screech and it's getting worse day by day. The first 2 weeks were a dream, now he's changing and he keeps screeching and begging for food even if he's eating at the same exact moment.
The only moments I recognize him are right after I give him the formula. Then he'd be sweet, cuddy and playful as usual.
He sleeps 12 hrs in a dark and quiet room, he has about 4/5 hrs of out of cage time.
The next week I'll go to the vet, to check if everything is ok. He steadily weighs 150 grams.
I'm quite on the edge on this, this is my first baby and I didn't think the weening would have been on me.
I have the feeling that I've done something wrong, or maybe he'sj ust too upset with us cutting one feed per day. Please help, I'd like him to be happy and to see the amazing playful lad I adopted.
