She's underweight :(

[specialpals]

Hello Katherine, any success with Sugar? I am very new to this forum thing so forgive me posting here but I really should start a new thread. I just got a baby G2 on this past Sunday from the Bird show and now I think I am in more trouble than I was expected. The aviary told me he was weaned a week ago but now I started to doubt. According to the place I bought him from, he was hatched on the 4th of July which makes him just a little over 3 months and when I weighed him yesterday, he was only 204g which is way low compare to the normal weight of 250. I weighed him on Monday which he was only 198 and that really scared me, but now at least he is gaining a little bit or at least sustaining. I am not sure about his gender just yet so I am calling him Peekko or I guess I can change it to Peekka if he turns out to be a she. So if anyone has experience weaning babies, can you give me suggestion on whether or not I should get him back on formula to get his weight up? I talked to a knoledgable bird store person few days ago and she did not suggest me to go back hand feeding. However, I fed him some sweet potato last night and he was enjoying it pretty much. I know he is eating seeds which came with him and not much of the pellet which I should get him on, but perhaps that's not my worry at this point until I get his weight up? Or is it more important to get him used to pellet right now since he is still a baby? any help would be appreciated. I haven't had the chance to schedule him to a avian vet due to my work schedule, that's why I am hoping to learn something from the forum. He has two African Greys and an Yellow naped Amazon keep him accompanied when we are gone and we get everyone out when we get home. Although we have not quite used to the cockatoo calling noise yet compare to my quiet African greys so hopefully he won't build the loud calling habbit all the time.
