Tandasdad Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I am new here but have a question. I am hand feeding mt CAG and loving the interaction. The baby is down to 2 feedings a day and doing well. My question comes in how much physical contact is spoinling. She wants to be on me all the time (which I love) but I work and do not want to over spoil her. She sqwaks when I put her in her cage and it breaks my heart. What should I do? Her crop is filled and not haveing any feeding issues or provlems. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreyMiester Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 My breeder told me to only give the attention that you can be consistant with providing. In other words, you don't want to play with him for 6 hours a day and then suddly drop down to 2 hours a day. Your bird won't understand the change. This is the one thing that is going to be hard for me when I bring home Ollie. I am going to want to spend a lot of time with him at first but I am going to have to be careful not to smother him with more attention than I can consistantly give him. My breeder talks to me for hours during my visit and I learn so much information each visit.<br><br>Post edited by: TheGreyMiester, at: 2007/04/13 03:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monique Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I've not heard of handmade. I would not switch formulas on her, what would the benefit to your bird be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
