Thank you so much for the detailed advice! It helps so much & I really appreciate it! 😊
I have them in our main living area right now so I can watch them extra close!
I’ll try the frozen coconut also! Thank you!
Thank you! I have been watching for pecking and I haven’t seen them bothering her unless they did it during the night. I *feel* like she would chirp if that happened, is that correct?
I will try the plain Neosporin now!
What about wiping? I feel like I should give her a break from that but...
Hi! So Monday she had a clogged vent and I cared for her all day until she finally passed the clog. I’ve been gently wiping her with a warm wet Qtip about twice a day and putting coconut oil or olive oil on her vent after wiping. She looked red yesterday in the vent area and I used cortisone on...
Is this her bellybutton? Just checking to be sure it’s not some kind of abnormality. It’s hard and round shaped and seems to be attached. Is there anything I should do, watch or know?

Thank you! Immediately went and got a bigger cage! The heat lamp is 250 and they are inside. I just got everything at the farm supply that they said I needed.
She did get a big poop out thankfully. But I’m so worried she’s still not eating I am able to feed her with a dropper and I’m chilling...
I’m not sure what the temperature is. I will go get a thermometer at the store. Here is how I have them right now. Does everything look ok as far as my set up? I was going to get a cage but this seemed to work ok, figured I will just get a bigger tub as they grow.
