Hello everyone! My GW is 15 weeks old now. I hand feed him around 12 pm 60ml and then at 5 pm around 60-100 ml. Is that enough?
i give him veggies fruits nuts and other stuff and he eats a bit.
what should the feeding schedule be at this age?

How much does your bird weigh?
As said above, weigh your bird in the morning before food, and then feed 10% of that for every feeding that day.

At almost 4 months, I doubt you need to go back to 4 feedings, but 3 would be good to offer for now.
Morning, afternoon and a night time offering.
If he looks under weight, then yes, definitely offer 4 feedings.
You can offer smaller amount at the lunch feeding, and then entice with the real food.
Is he begging much?
I'd also make sure you have real food available at all feedings so your baby can taste and explore the different textures once the initial hunger is appeased.
Has he started flapping and trying those wings yet?
We need photos as he's growing. :)

Wait just a little bit until your birds do the morning poopoo then weigh her.

Good thing I have a weight log lol so she used to weights from 895 to 900grams.

btw our baby is now a year and two months old:heart:

@maounm Hello, What is the weight of your bird?
Members need to know more info to be able to offer advice.
You can weigh him on kitchen scales in the morning before any food.

I would offer four feedings. Every four hours until you have a handle on how he is doing. 8am 12pm 4pm 8pm

As much as he wants in the way of CCs.
Really? 4 feedings at this age? How much in each feeding?

1.5 months ago it was around 1300 grams. Now its 1100 grams. Is that normal? I know they loose around 15 percent of their body weight when the fledge.
