ate an abundance of formula today but I noticed twice he had a bubble coming out of one of his nostril, his poop is normal, not quite as active today though but did seem extra hungry(first meal of the day). Normally, when finished eating he is climbing my arm to get close and cuddle this time he just sat and looked around.

 

I didn't cuddle with him as usual, put him back into his box to stay warm and quiet, I hear little chirps now and then as usual and when I peek at him he is standing or sitting next to his cuddle lion per usual.

 

Any suggestions or am I just being paranoid as I am reading everything in the health section today.

sorry, the question was supposed to be. Should I be concerned about bubble coming out of his nose? I wrote the breeder, you wonderful people and called the vet........yes I am paranoid I will do something wrong!

The vet finally just called back, nothing to worry about, finally got back on the computer to find the breeder had written me the following:

Babies are finicky eaters. Sometimes they eat everything, and sometimes they only eat a little. You have to adjust, the spoon was a good idea.

The bubble was probably from food that got pushed up into his nose. If his crop is going empty, there is no need to masage it. That could be causing him to regurgitate just a little and he does not know what to do with that food that just came up into his mouth, so his tongue pushes it up into his nose. put a couple drops of vinegar into the food today and make the food runny. The vinegar will kill any buildup that might be sitting there.

 

As for transformation into a cage, it is way too soon. If you still have the heating pad turned on, go ahead and turn it off. You need to start aclimatize his body to the house temperature. Keep the towel over the top of the container to help keep the heat in, but he is now getting feathers and should be able to start adjusting. you can tell if he is too cold, because his feet will be cold.

 

Thank you all for caring enough to write me back and take care of my fears. Amazing how fast this little one has crept into my heart!
