I have a toulouse gosling named Trina. She spends her time inside with the family, but goes out to play too. We don't have any natural grass here - Tucson AZ and over 100 degrees for the summer months now - and my fodder system is slow going. She isn't getting as much grass as I would like. She eats mostly all flock crumble but does get into the chicken crumble now and again.
She is about 10-11 weeks old.
She seems to be regurgitating her food and water pretty much all the time now. At first, if I picked her up right after she had been eating or drinking she might have a little burst come out that I attributed to having a full crop and me probably just grabbing it by accident. In the last week or so it has been getting worse, and now she is regurgitating food and water all the time. she basically just pukes it up as she walks around and makes her little baby noises. She is JUST starting to honk too, but I assume that is just from aging up.
Is this normal?? Is there something I can do? Or do I need to get her in to a vet?
 
Have you been giving her any greens? They need greens if you do not have grass! Get some romaine lettuce, kale, broccoli, celery, grapes, watermelon, honeydew, tomatoes, apples and make sure she has grit or outside to get grit to help digest the greens. She is getting too much feed and not enough greens or fruit.
Try this and see if it works....
 
She does get some grass from our fodder system, but she doesn't eat as much as I would like her too.
I am going to the grocery store today so I will pick some more stuff up for her! Thanks! I will see if this helps

Will she choke on grapes? I know most animals aren't supposed to have them if not because of a toxic factor, because of a choking one.

I cut grapes in half for my adult geese so if you 4th them she could probably eat them okay or chopped them, be sure to wash real good though because of pesticides on the fruit.
 
Well she ate the romaine but didn't seem interested in the grass in the yard - we are house sitting - or the watermelon. She had some crumble afterward because she didn't eat very much and she regurgitated most of the crumbles! Should I take her of the crumbles entirely? Will she get hungry enough to eat the grass and watermelon?
 
I let her free feed, but I take the crumble away over night - she always has water though - but I left the watermelon overnight and in the morning she has eaten almost all of it, just a little piece of rind left. I gave her some more lettuce and watermelon and I think she just didn't know she liked watermelon hah cause she's going at it and the lettuce. Her poop was greener and then redder than usual, but I would assume that's from the foods. Other than color it looks normal. She does have access to grit.
