I picked up my new IRN yesterday and because he has not been handled much, I first clipped his wings as he was panic-flying and I didn't want him getting hurt. I spent quite a lot of time, yesterday and today so far and he has calmed down considerably; in fact is now sitting on me He's a sweetie and I think he will do just fine once he is used to being handled. Despite being told that he and his sib were eating on their own, he doesn't appear to know quite what to do yet with food, so I have been hand/ mouth feeding him (mouth feeding was the ONLY way I could get him to eat last night, now he will take a little from my hand). I have been able to get him to eat a little bit of scrambled eggs.
I am heading home with him today, and will get whatever is needed for this not-quite-weaned little guy, and would appreciate any advice on what I should be getting for him. The lady I got him for provided some food, but when I looked it was quite large fruit/ veggie pellets, and that's not going to cut it for him. I do have medium size pellets at home for when he is ready...but in the meantime, what and how is the best for feeding him?
