Hi, i recently got a 2 and half month blue Quaker 3 days back. The breeder told to hand feed it twice a day for some days as it has started to self eat. At 1st when it got home, it used to flap it's wing when we initially handfed it and it used to take around 12-13 ml of a19 formula.
After 2 days it has reduced taking hand feeding and after taking 4-5 ml it won't even open its beak. I am used to feed with a syringe by dripping food slowly into its beak. Is it because the breeder used to directly feed to it's crop. Shall I also do the same ? but I am scared if the food may pass to lungs instead of crop. I am also keeping some sprouts and papaya and seed mix in the cage.
Today morning it took 6ml of hand feeding and he went away and ate little sprouts, seed and papaya. Please help me with what to do in this situation as i feel, he is not getting adequate food since 3 days.
