So lemon is doing a whole lot better. I fed her 3 times myself and its like she got the spunk back into her cause she was flopping her little head all over the place!!! So what i did was pull the bigger ones out and replaced lemon bak in with mama so she can take care of her and i can handle the others and plus i think feeding the bigger ones will be easier then the other ones!!! Cause that was some hard stuff LOL but i did it and ill see how she is doing in the next hour or so...WISH ME LUCK!!

Lemon has been going awesome!!! and i cant ask for a better mama then RAZ...she is really pulling it off like i hoped she would...so i pulled the other babies andyou know what the handfeeding wasnt as hard as i thought it was going to be. I did everything that others have told me and from watching videos and reading i think i did one heck of a job! I noticed that when they get hungry they chirp! Which i must say is the cutest sound ever LOL but i fed one at a time littlest to biggest and they all did a great job. The only question i had was how much are they suppose to be eating for their age...

Berries is 6 days old
Mango is 5 days old
Banana is 3 days old

Please give me some insite on this so i know im not giving them too much or too little!!!

I am sorry to hear that things were not going well. I was not on until now. When a baby that is so young is very weak some breeders add Electrovites to the handfeeding formula. Here is a link: ELECTROVITES+ - 8 OZ - Supplements - AvianEnrichment.com . It is like pedialyte. I do not know the amounts that would be added to the formula if you are handfeeding but you could ask your vet. Best wishes for you and Lemon!

Matt
