Jayd Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thank you, I know your doing good. The cage is Grey't, Go ahead and move them up "2 fingers high". Place mats, if their feet won't get stuck in the bottom wire, remove it. You do what ever you have to do......Picture time....Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 The job you are doing with your babies is awe inspiring. Taking care of one with no experience would be a challenge, but two is a labor or love and a miracle of life for them. Congratulations on doing what it takes and keeping your little ones safe and growing. To all of you who have had experience and are putting your advice and your hearts into this, you are all my heros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanyab Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 ok ill send pics tomorrow. i just feed them and they must know its bed time bc i bed them in frount of there cage on a mate and when im done they turn around to go back into there cage for bed.i put in a baby blanket for them to sleep on and they go and lie down on it and then i cover them up telling them nite nite see u in the morning also,i ment to ask you when im feeding the bigger one he is starten to bob his head real fast and sometimes hard for the food. its like he gets excited. but he dont eat it fast also, his put his beak on me more like nippy me.the smaller one is still shy and cuddly.

Spock Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Fast bobbing's OK, let's start feeding them 55-60cc's tomorrow! So cute, keep them in the habit at bed time.... When it comes to choosing one, size doesn't matter, all that matters is which one you prefer... Get some rest, you still have a few weeks to go.

Jayd Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hi, this is normal, they're growing up, be patience, you can try the formula a little ticker or thinner to get his interest, put a dab of Skippy's or Kroger's or Laura Scudder's Organic or Natural peanut. just a tad, tip of the spoon and stir it into their formula..It's a big world out there to them...LoL Can't wait for pictures.......I'll be doing more posts for you and the twins!!

Jayd Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Tip: A good sign a baby Grey is ready for their first flight is, their flight feathers with wings folded against their body, will reach the tips of their red tail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in cages on the floor.i cover them at night..the air cond. is set on 70.im kinda worried here.. Tanya, I don't know what to say, I hope they didn't get a chill when you washed them the other day. Are they're nostrils clear? no fluid in them? How often do they sneeze? cough sound? How are they eating? Playing? When you wash them you just take a damp rag and wipe them a little, they're still to young for a bath! Keep them out of direct drafts! Going from Hot to cold isn't good for them Remember they're room temp should be between 78 and 80 degrees. Please get back to me asap... Jayd,...

tanyab Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 ok...yes i gave them a bath..i sit them in warm water bc there bottoms was dryed with poop and food and i tryed to get it off first with a warm cloth but it wasnt coming off. the smaller one kelp picking at it.also,the air con. is 72 in the house.no there nostrils are clear and dry..i keep watch them. also they are eatting.the smaller one eats better then the bigger one.im giving 50 to 60 cc. of form. they are playing like norm.they are sneezing a few times.im not sure how to keep it 78 to 80 in the house. that would be hot in here.ive not heard no cough at all.im on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 OK, it would be better no baths for a while, keep a watch on they're nostrils, try to put them in a warmer spot, when they get older 72 will be fine. Keep them out of drafts, and direct sunlight. I'll be online for a couple of hours. Has it been dusty in your house today? They'll sneeze to clear their nostrils of dust...

tanyab Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 ok.,i emailed u..i tryed to feed them but they wouldnt eat but 40cc or so.the bigger grey didnt want to eat maybe 30cc but i got close to 40 in him. he wanted me to hold him and not go back to his cage but i put them to bed...cover them up and gave them there baby blankets. ive vaccuum today but i do that everyday.i have them in frount of the door window where it would be the warmest of all. the sun comes in.i shouldnt have to give them a bath now that i took the place mate out the walk on the bottom of there cage but at nite they do have the blanket to sleep on.ummm...poop..the nose is dry,i look at the at every time i feed them.
