That isn’t actually that

That isn’t actually that long in my opinion.

How long should I wait til I should be worried..?

I personally wouldn’t be concerned until like 1 full day. Even then I probably wouldn’t get too freaked out. They can go longer without food than water. Not liking a food on initial introduction isn’t exactly abnormal. Having no desire to eat anything whatsoever is concerning. There is a pretty big distinction between the two.

Okay, thank you so much!

Don’t give in and give them treats. They’ll eat when they get hungry enough.

Wait, give them treats?

 

[Miss Lydia]

No treats while teaching them to eat their feed.

Ahh. Sorry, I don't understand some things at times. AHAH.

 

[Miss Lydia]

It's okay they know how to use us lol Just be strong it's called tough love. What is when we were young our parents let us eat all the candy we wanted and never our wholesome meals? we'd be all running around toothless. Well if we give our birds treats and they don't eat their nutritional feed first they won't be healthy either. So try and think of it like that. Even though we try and feed healthy treats it still isn't the same as their reg feed. Mine beg for meal worms every time I walk out the door but they don't get them.
