Hello,
I had an accident today where I forgot to give my lovebird water for 8 hours. I need to know signs to watch out for that she’s in danger. Online says she would be good without water for 3 days but I just want to make sure she’s well cared for.
I recently switched my bird to a new larger cage and have been using the smaller cage as a sleeping cage. The new water bowl I bought her leaks really badly and I haven’t had a chance to get a replacement, so I’ve just been switching the old one back and forth between the two cages. This morning I totally forgot to switch the water to the new cage and didn’t realize it until I was prepping her sleep cage 8 hours later.
I quickly gave her water (both in her bottle and separately as a bowl) and she chugged the bottle for a little while. She has now gone back to stuffing her face with her Pure Fun ZuPreem mix I always give her a little of as a treat before bed. I think she’s fine but I just want to know if there’s something I can do for her to rehydrate her or if should watch out for something. I feel so bad about this, I’m definitely going to get her that other container right away.
Thanks!
