    Goslings still not eating... please help.

    Thank you everyone. I am still crying. Yesterday was a really REALLY hard day. You get so attached to these little babies. I just love geese and I had such high hopes for these little ones. I will say this: MM's customer service is unrivaled. I waited until 5:00ish to call yesterday to try to...

    Sadly I don't! I definitely thought of that, plus I don't want him to grow up alone. I am going to keep looking but for now, there is no one near me (I live in the sticks, on an island) with young baby birds. I even showed him to my adult goose today, hoping she might take an interest, but she...

    Wasabi (the little female) died in my hands at 11:00 this morning. She starved to death, surrounded by food. We buried her out back. Sashimi, the little gander, is very active and alert. He has always been the stronger one and does not have an umbilical hernia. He will happily eat shredded...

    I am on hold with Murray McMurray (where I got them from) right now. We did give them baths, we kind of had to in order to clean them up. They were able to stay upright but the water was only just deep enough for them to barely touch on tiptoes. When they poop, it is only a few times a day...

    Also, the sicker one, when I was cleaning up her weird diarrhea that she is having, has a black tumor (?) a bit below her vent. It is about the size of a grape. I thought it was poop at first and when I gently tried to clean it up, it bled a little (but has stopped now). Has anyone ever...

    Please do not tell me "they will eat when they get older." They are a week old and have barely eaten since I got them last Wednesday. Does anyone have any ideas at all on how to save them? We have tried: mushing up their food into a paste, offering them greens, changing foods (offered Mazuri...
