whiteflower23 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 hello. i have been stalking this site for quite some time and i am finally happy to say all the preparing and researching has paid off and i hav brought my baby home! he is about 10 weeks old. i have a few questions ( i have asked the breeders a dozen questions but got a few different responses and found different opinions in books/websites etc. so i figured id give it a go and ask here) my grey is about 10 weeks old and is down to two feedings (on hand feeding formula) i have tried offering fruits/veggies and they havent seemed to interest him. homuch longer should i wait until to wean him down to one feeding/none? also--for those that had theirs since a baby--when did they start eatig ppl food?

lovemyGreys Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi whiteflower welcome to the forum. I have included a link for you on hand - feeding http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73409-handfeeding-a-baby-grey.html ,please bear in mind that all babies are different & will vary in the rate to which they wean.Continue to offer the fruit & veggies,leave a bowl of pellets out alongside a bowl of water.As for eating people food,perhaps try some soft pasta,sweet potato mashed,a little scrambled egg,cooked rice etc,Try different ways of offering his veggies to him,mash them a little,perhaps serve a little warm. We have a nursey room please take the time to have a read through the various threads in there <br><br>Post edited by: lovemyGreys, at: 2008/08/05 14:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
