Ha i am mid message on an update, must have read your mind lol! Well he is doing very well as far as i can tell! I have been feeding him roughly every 2 hours as that is when he starts moving and squeaking so im just taking his lead lol! I have been feeding him closer to 2 ml as he slurps away and stops at around the 2ml mark! He then starts to fall asleep so he goes back in the brooder till next time hes getting into the routine of feeding very easily, they are definitely fast learners!

Great news! Makes sense they would eat more often at first and they are getting hydration at the same time. They increase their body mass incredibly quickly and it will be at least 10days before they can stand.

The problem w/hand-fed babies is they take up un-pigeon like activities like internet browsing... lol

And first flying practice takes place in the bathroom...
