Greetings! I am Maggie, Jay's wife. Our CAG is named Spock and he is 12 wks old. We have been hand-feeding him since he was 5 wks old. He weighs 459 grams and he is a dark gray bird. He flew yesterday for the first time one foot off the ground and two feet forward:laugh: Our question is (first of many); Spock has been eating good, last night he ate his formula and sweet potato mash mixture. This morning, he ate 1/4 tsp of his formula and wanted to go play. Jay made him his sweet potato mash with formula and he ate one bite and wanted to play. He didn't eat any of his lunch-time bean mash, just a few veggies/seeds/pellets. He usually eats daily, 40cc's of formula, plus 1/2tsp of peanut butter then a 1/4 cup of assorted fresh veggies, a bite or two of fruit and then he eats his 1 to 2 tsp sweet potato mash puree for lunch, snacks on seeds/pellets, bean mash (1 to 2 tsp) for dinner and 30 to 40 cc's formula with peanut butter for bed time snack. He is not crazy about seeds or pellets and eats very little of them, preferring veggies. He has lost his butterball butt and he has trimmed down and I think he is weaning from the formula. Is he cutting his weight down for flight? His breeder said he looks very good. Is this normal? Our first CAG and we are very nervous about this. Thanks for any input... Maggie and Jay
