Aw, I'm so sorry. I'd still go get some duramycin/tetracycline and put it in the water for the other 2, just in case. Poor little thing. Hard to say what went wrong. Yeah, I had one of mine die a couple of weeks ago, hatched, looked good, and wouldn't eat or drink, lasted about 3 days. It's...

Quote: Probably not -- mine grabbed an Isabella moth the other day (what woolly bears grow into) -- they're toxic, which is why the bright coloration, but taste bad, and shook it off. I wouldn't think water in the ear per se, but some kind of infection is possible I guess.

Just trying to think WHAT could be wrong? Did you notice any symptoms earlier, like diarrhea, lack of appetite? Could they have gotten into anything they shouldn't have? I wish I knew what to say -- its hard with little ones like that. In just the last year, I've had ones that looked good...

Quote: Well, overall that's probably an OK temp under normal conditions. Hard to say with a sick bird, because we don't know the cause. If she's overheated or dehydrated, she might want it cooler, which is perhaps why she's moving away from the light. You might try turning it off just for...

Well, at this point, even some basic electrolyte solution would be good -- you can mix about a teaspoon of sugar and pinch of salt into a pint of warm water. Or, if you have any Gatorade or similar (NOT diet) that would work, too. If you are close to someplace you can get some duramycin or...

Well, if its TOO warm, that's not good either. Maybe dehydrated? Or just too warm? Do you have any small syringes (without the needle!)? -- those can help a lot to get some fluids into them. Or perhaps an small eyedropper. In an emergency, I've even used a small dropper bottle from...

Well, the standard emergency response -- gentle heat, about 90 to 95 degrees, fluids with electrolytes, a couple of drops of vitamins, and, IMHO, the most important thing, a dose of a broad spectrum antibiotic like duramycin. Poor thing. I hope it helps. Good luck. Let us know.
