JungleDreamz Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was just reading the thread about handfeeding your African Grey, And I noticed a couple of people saying a 5 week old should have 4 feedidngs a day, But some are saying 3 is ok....Im confused, I know "dave007" said something about Abundance feeding and to just keep feeding them, I just have never heard of this, I have heard that Greys can be little pigs, and will eat TOO much, And then that is when they can get the Crop stretch...I am not saying anyone is right or wrong, I just dont want to be doing anything wrong...But the breeder I got My baby from has been breeding Greys for over 20 years, and when she sold him to me he was on 3 feedings a day at 4 weeks, feeding about 35 cc's at each feeding. And the only reason she sold him to me was because I am an experianced hand feeder, I just have never hand fed a grey, So that is why I am wondering about the times of day I should be feeding him, I just dont want to be doing anything wrong. my little guy is 5 weeks old now and will be 6 weeks on monday, and has been on 3 feedings a day since he was 4 weeks, and he has been gaining 10 grams a day. Seems like that is enough, But if I should be adding one more feeding a day I will. I am just afraid to, cuz that is what the breeder said to do, was to keep him on 3. I DONT KNOW! haha, Like I said I have handfed before, just not a grey. So I know what I am doing, I just dont know how many times a day to feed, well I thought I did till I have read conflicting information, haha...So please let me know, I would really appreciate it!
