pulling baby conures from the nest

I bet they are adorable!

They are, the second baby should open its eyes in a couple of days. The youngest baby is very loud and very fuzzy.

 

[roxynoodle]

If you are the smallest, then being the loudest is probably a good idea

 

[cdog]

Yes that would be a good thing.

Baby number five hatched today!

 

[MikeyTN]

They're one busy pair.....lol....

 

[cdog]

Yes they most certainly are.

Congrats!

 

[cdog]

Thank you, the baby already ate twice in the past hour and a half!
Speak of the devil, it's hungry again!

 

[cdog]

I just checked on the babies, the newborn has a full tummy along with the others. That orange-ish egg I was telling you guys about is still there, so if it does hatch then it should on Sunday.

 

[cdog]

So I think I am going to take the first baby on Saturday, then it will be two weeks old. Is there a specific time I should take it?

These are the best pictures of Sully and Bella I could get.

They make a very cute couple!

I usually pull babies around midnight the night before, that way at 5-6am when you go to give them their first feeding, their crops have emptied. I'm not sure if this is how others do it or not though and there are quite a few others here with more experience than me so maybe they can give you some better advice. You want to make sure that you have your brooder set up and running at least a day before you put the babies in, for home made brooders, I like to have them up and running two days in advance that way you have plenty of time to monitor and tweak it to make sure your temps and humidity are right where you want them

To roxynoodle, they sure do they are maddly in love, they do everything together.

To IcyWolf, thank you for the advice. So what you are saying is take it right after it gets fed at night, or right before the parents feed it. The parents usually feed it right around 10-10:30 so should I take it at midnight after they feed it?

 

[MikeyTN]

It depends on your schedule. Taking them out at midnight is fine! Sully and Bella are a cute couple!!!

 

[cdog]

I'm home schooled so my schedule is wide open. Thanks again for all the help.

 

[cdog]

Oh by the way the first baby is a normal split to cinnamon male!
