off seed...

[AmyMyBlueFront]

...after Amy's crummy check up a couple weeks ago,I immediately removed all seed from his diet and gave him roudytush pellets. I'd check his bowl now and again and when I emptied it I THINK I saw pellet dust.

Tonight I heard him talking into his bowl ( hello..laughing) and I figured he was at his nummy bowl. Imagine my surprise,AND delight to see his head buried in his pellet bowl

One hurdle crossed Now if I can only get him to except his meds without fighting me. Yesterday I made scrambled eggs (a fav of his) and managed to squirt a dose of meds in/on it and he did munch on most of it,but I'm sure he'll get wise to that and stop eating eggs now

Good job! Amy may learn to love pellets and never look back!

Jim, how about something porous like bread or a thick piece of pretzel. Not the healthiest but might get more meds into him.

2 cents, for your consideration...
I medicate the Rb with deli-fresh almond butter, only ingredients are nuts and water. Is that still too high-calorie? It's SO easy to mix the 2 ccs into a pea-size dab of the butter, and when you stir it for a minute or two, it congeals into sort of a moist crumble, which the bird gobbles.

Good idea Bill...Amys Uncle DJ suggested maybe one of those squishy strawberry shortcake bowls? Just a piece,moistend with strawberry juice then squirt the meds into the short cake? Crikey..I'd prolly eat it too

Another option Thanks a bunch Ms Gail. Where would I find such a butter?
He gets 11 ml? or is that cc? Old Timerz again
