Penguin seems sick

[SolarDuck]

So good to hear you are seeing her improving so much.

Yes me too, I just really hope she starts eating on her own soon

I know I tube feed my Runner for 6 days until she started eating on her own. It's such a good feeling when they do begin eating on their own. You know the worst is behind them.

When I tube feed mine, I had done it for a week. I was so exhausted, I took a morning off feeding her for my sanity. She finally ate that day, and I believe it was because she realized what hunger was and liked being well fed.

Anyone happen to know where to get this stuff that isn't the vet? Picture is attached it is what I've been tube feeding penguin. When I google it I can easily find the herbivore and carnivore variants but not the omnivore like this one. It's suuppper expensive from the vet

I don't know, but I always just use pellet feed and put it in a blender with water. I find that works pretty well.

Whatever you do, do not call the hot line.

For what reason do you mean? Is there anything dangerous about just asking for information?

Yep, this story is another I knew about. I literally had tears in my eyes after reading this one a little while ago and worse, went into a full on cry when trying to read it to my SO & his daughter.
