Hi there everyone.
I just purchased Petri, a GCC who's age is unknown. According to the pet store, he was 'mostly weaned.' She sold me some formula and a syringe, and taught me how to feed him.
Petri hasn't been interested in his pellets since getting home, and doesn't eat NEAR the ammount of formula she indicated he should be eating (2-4 syringes full twice daily). Rather, he's chewed the heck out of a millet spray (some he's tossing around, but a lot is being properly shelled and eaten). They sold me pellets (Harrisons), and a huge mix of things, like banan chips, rasins, wheat seeds (maybe?), and a whole lot more. He picks the raisins and cranberries from the fruit mix, goes wild for the banana chips. When he got home, his poop was essentially water (from the formula diet), and now it's much firmer little lumps.
So the question is, he shows no interest in the pellets, and little interest in the formula (it's all I can do to get him to eat 1/2-3/4 syringe twice daily. I'm also not sure he's found his water bottle (the water level is lower, but it's a Lixit glass bottle and drips slowly).
I've also introduced fresh oranges, which he LOVES, and I go to the fruit market on Wednesdays, so I'll be picking up fruits and veggies there for him of course.
Is he eating enough? How do I get him to come round to pellets?
Should I be worried?
