I have a few questions about raising cockatiel babies.
First off, these are babies to first time parents. There are 3 little hatchling 1. 8 day old 1. 7 day old and the other a 5 day old. The 5 day old looks smaller than usual and I'm a little worried it'll be treated as a runt and not get a lot of nutrition. It looks rather small compared to how the others were at 5 days old. I could be horribly wrong though as this is the first time I've had hatchlings. I really wouldnt want it to die. I had a bad experience as a kid where I also had new hatchlings and the last one to hatch had died after a couple of weeks.
I also would like to know when the appropriate time for cleaning out the nesting box to keep it clean is as its starting to give off an odor and to remove the unmatched eggs. Sorry for the trouble as this is also my first time here and may not know how to post correctly. Pics can def be shown if needed.
Thank you for your time, it's much appreciated!
