    Made some progress today. Managed to get the girl to eat dandelion leaves and about 20 grapes!!! The boy did try some leaves but dont think any actually made it down his throat. Shows no interest in the grapes. Wierd how the girl only seems to like red grapes. I will try and find some more...

    Hi Thanks for that logical response it is very reassuring. I read online the males can go 50+ days without eating while they are with the eggs. I assume based on that 5 days without food isnt going to hurt them. I will keep you all updated. Thanks again!

    Thanks again for the reply it is really appreciated. I am hoping they can live with the sheep eventually. I guess they have never seen sheep before and a new home thrown into the mix is a lot for them to cope with. I have just put down bowls of scrambled egg, carrots, brokoli, dog food, dog...

    New emu owner. Not eating their pellets?

    Thanks for the advice will try that. They love grapes. Tried cabbage but they didnt seem to care for that tho. The small sheep I have put them with are a bit unsure of each other but hopefully they will get a long. My rhea lives with the female sheep and they get on great. Sleep very close...

    New emu owner. Not eating their pellets?

    Hi I collected my first emus yesterday. Female 5 years and male 2 years. I have had a pet rhea for over a year which is very healthy and happy living in her paddock. My emus live in the paddock next to her. The behaviour I am seeing from the emus such as pacing back and forth, looking on edge...
