So bella is from a petshop suposedly 10 weeks old and handraised but I doubt she got much attention or handled well, I knew when I seen the store girl check her ring for dna numbers she just picked her up like a tennis ball while bella screamed.. Also the fish tank a few of these babys were in was full of seeds and a little piece of apple that looked old no pellets or anything fresh...
I've had bella for a week and I'm not sure whats normal or healthy..
In the pic below where my finger tip ends and further down i feel like a bone is that normal? also you can see blackish colour on her cheeks/head i don't think thats normal?
She also stands on her left foot all day pretty much even in the photo lol but will use both feet to climb and walk not sure what that means either..
Last thing is food, 1st couple days she barely ate now I think she's eating too much? I was told since shes young give her an all you can eat diet of pellets/seed fruit n veg.. problem is she is a sunflower junkie and i've seen her eat seed for hours the pellets she will eat for few mins if thats the only food in her cage, she would eat seed most of the day if i kept it always in her cage (mostly sunflower) don't know if i should?
Shes pretty quite but made a couple of loud noises, she makes a croak like sound quite often (break grind maybe) don't know, fairly active but not much, preens, climbs cage, hangs upside down etc
Anyways thats my rant i just hope shes healthy and well thanks for reading
