Codys Mom Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'am doing the Abundance feeding with Rudy was just wondering how long do they usually take to wean on their own time? she is 5 months old today and is still on 2 handfeedings one in the morning and one at night, it's not a problem just curious as to how much longer she will want the morning feeding, personally I think she is being greedy lol but she is very healthy and happy little girl and thats all that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I would expect a grey to be fully weaned at 12-16 weeks. Of course, it varies by bird, but three non-solid feedings at that age seems very excessive. My opinion is that Rudy is simply enjoying the hand-feeding time, continuing to want more of her time with you. Have you tried moving from hand-feeding formula to feeding bits of solid food? I expect you'll see an immediate shift. Talk to your vet and get a plan together on how best to wean Rudy to solid food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleDreamz Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 When I weaned my CAG, I guess you could say I Abundance fed too, I just kept feeding her untill, Well, I never thought it would happen, BUT, She just wouldnt take it anymore, She would actually take some and then spit it out shortly after, So then I would just give her less, And less, And less, And then it was nothing.

lovethatgrey Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It's a case by case situation. Just follow her cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 There is no set age for weaning, some do it in less time and others take longer but she will let you know when she is ready to end it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orphan1965 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 My CAG Gracie is also 5 months and is taking about 20 cc every night. I talked with the vet and he said that it was ok. She will let me know when she is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codys Mom Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 awwwww Gracie is so sweet in her pic, Rudy is taking way more then 20cc's she takes about 20ml which is I think 60cc's every morning and night thats why I called her greedy lol and she is eating solid food she eats her pellets not alot of them but some and she eats her fruits and veggies she eats all day long and still begs for that formula every morning and night , maybe I should cut her formula down at least in the morning she needs to eat more of her pellets for sure , she eats her veggies real good and she loves fruit especially pomagranite since it's in season now , maybe cut her down to 10 ml in the morning and 20ml in the evening? sound ok?

particle77 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 1 ml = 1 cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I would continue to give her what she will take, it is just taking a little longer for her, she will let you know she doesn't want it any longer and then its over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codys Mom Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 1ml=1cc hmmm ok someone told me that 10ml was equal to 30cc's in that case she isn't eating as much formula as I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
