depth of bath water

[Tigerlily]

how deep is too deep when giving her a bath?

 

upto her ankles,tops of legs, chest, neck?!? (not that i would fill it 2 her neck)

[judygram]

As deep as she will allow, probably up to her chest in my opinion, that way the water will go in between the feathers and get her wet down to the skin.

I agree with Judy. Lower chest height is usually good but it all depends on how deep each individual bird will allow you to get it.

[Tigerlily]

wow. i wasn't expecting that answer, i was worried mid leg was too deep!

Read the 2 stickys in the Health Room concerning different methods of bathing.

I started bathing Ana Grey in the kitchen sink when she was 4 months old. She has always enjoyed her baths.

 

Love that water!!!!!!

 

And now all done!!!!!!

Yes, Tobie gets in the bottom of the tub and I stop it up and turn the shower on. I'll let the water out a bit when it gets up to his chest. He seems to like it that way and I know at least his underside is getting wet to the skin.

Our greys will not go near standing water. They will sit on my finger under the shower until duly soaked though. They don't pretend to like it, but they tolerate it.

At what age should you try and bathe you grey?

[Lambert58]

you should bathe them ASAFP. Get 'em wet, let them know it's part of the daily routine as early as freaking possible.
