Dave007 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Don't worry, it'll soon ease up a bit. Doing something like this is always hard in the beginning but time and success makes things easier. Your little chicks will soon start refusing that one feeding. Who knows when but that's the time that a few more hours of sleep can be had and you'll have nice dreams about birds pooping all over the place and it'll lift your spirits. It'll be a time for celebration. Make sure you have a bottle of your favorite spirit near by. Jady's gonna help you get to that day so I guess congrats are in order to you and Jayd.

Jayd Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Thank you. How bout we refer to these wee one as, "The Forums Twins" ? A day will come when you'll check plates, cups, bowls etc, for that famous 4 letter word! Poop.....Jayd Edited May 20, 2010 by Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi Tanya, glad things are going good, If you'd like, try to put them back together, they can teach each other so much, if not, it's ok. They are siblings right? How many times are you feeding them now? How much are they eating each meal? Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanyab Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 hi there, I posted this but i guess i lost it.so, if it post twice im sorry. yes i have them sep and ill put them together when im home to watch them.the bihher one is so much bigger that he can hurt the smaller one easy. there cages are together.I feed them at 930,200,715,and i been putting them to bed around 930 or so.but since they ate so early i may try to feed them again at 11.if im still up.the small grey is learning to stand on her porch ..her mommy didnt come tonite. i think shes changing her mind about her grey.i hoipe not bc i cant keep her.i gave them 45 cc to 50 cc at a feeding. is that still ok?? plus they are still eatting there pellits and ppl foods with that.

Jayd Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks, Feed them when you go to bed, then 8 1/2 hours later in the morning, Example: If you go to bed at 10pm, feed them at 6:30 am, then again at 2-2:30 pm, 3 times a day, 8 to 8 1/2 hours apart. You'll be keeping this schedule for a few weeks, remember, you can't rush them..and always feed them before you go to bed. Try not to feed them any sooner or later then 8to 8 1/2 hours apart. Keep up the good work Mama. Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hope the Twins are doing Grey't... Most important in raising babies is stability and their assurance that a meal is coming the same time each day, now that you've shone them they have nothing nothing to fear, it's training time. Their not to young to start, they just won't learn to much. I feel the most important command for a Grey is the step-up, step-down command. When your playing with these guys, whenever you put your finger in front of them, push it againest their chest, and say, "step-up", don't expect anything, your just getting them used to the words and sound. Now is also the time to socialize them, get as much daily outside contact with others that you can, others don't have to hold them, just be near them, touching them, and talking to them! Remember to change out their fresh food every couple of hours, same with water, and "Keep up the good Work....Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Tanya, I just want to say that I absolutely admire your defiance in the rearing of these babies. You realise how important the commitment is that you have made, but most importantly you have made some friends for life! The "forum twins" I fear would have been nothing without the support of our fantastic, experienced, caring, loving, dedicated (the list goes on) members - and just shows what an important part they can play in such delicate situations. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Spock here! In case you didn't know, I tell Jayd every thing to write, I was there....Some times Maggie doe's threads and makes post, I always edit them... I'm setting up the twins so they will know how to control you when they're older, they're responding well, it's only logical..... Spock Live long and prosper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi, how's the Twins? were all on edge to hear!! Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 It sounds like the babies are doing just fine but one point I want to make is that they are not "twins" they did not hatch from the same egg, they may have the same mom and dad but they are not twins but it is easy to think this but they are siblings and one is older than the other. I so wished I could have come down to visit with the babies but I cannot manage it but if you continue to take Jay's advice, I mean Spock's then you should do fine.

Dave007 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Actually, we can't really judge whether they're twins or not. It is very possible that they actually are twins. After all, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Davito were twins. Edited May 22, 2010 by Dave007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
