    Weight of baby Redfoot

    I have a baby Redfoot that is about 9 months old now. He has been doing pretty well until recently. He eats after his soaks every morning and I weigh him weekly. I noticed that he really hasn’t gained weight in about a mouth, hasn’t lost, but just not getting any bigger. He hovers right around...

    Mazuri

    How often do you all feed Mazuri to your babies? I have a Redfoot and a Cherry Head. They absolutely love it, but I want them to have a balanced diet. I only sprinkle it on their greens and friuts about twice a week. I do notice that they eventually eat some greens and fruit these days, but they...

    How much weight

    I have had my new babies for about week now. My Redfoot is not the best eater. I place him in the food bowl three times a day and he nibbles, but does not eat like my Cherry does. They are both about the same age (a few months old) My Cherry has gained 4g this past week where as my Redfoot has...

    Growth normal?

    my yellow foot is suppose to be 6 month old (I think he might be younger). I have had him for 3 months, so he is at least that old. He weighs 80g now. When I first got him 3 months ago, he was 68g. Is this a good weight gain for him? I haven’t seen any new growth on his shell, but maybe I just...

    Baby has a closed eye

    I have noticed the past two days that my baby’s left eye is shut in the morning. Seems that after he soaks that it opens up again. There may be a little white mucus around that eye, but not very noticeable. 2 things changed recently that I’m not sure contributed or not and I’m looking for...

Any suggestions...

    Lemon grass

    We were able to find some yellow grass for our yellow foot and he loves it. He doesn’t seem to be able to consume it because it is too hard, but he does like to chew on it like a bone. Is is bad to leave it in his enclosure all the time? Figure it can help keep his beak from overgrowing...
