What to feed a baby robin

[GoosesGeeses]

About 2 weeks ago i found a robins nest that was abandoned. It had one egg in it, and it was raining, so i took it in, and waited for mama bird to return;she never did. Si it is now in my Brinsea Maxi 24 advance incubator, and i just realized lockdown is tomorrow. So what in the world do i feed him? Thank you. Also I candled the egg: It's got one wiggly little guy in it.

Actually had to do this for a baby mourning dove.

Buy some cat food and wet it to a mash. Feed it every 2-3 hours 24/7 for the first week. It doesn't need water as it gets what it needs from the mash. Be careful that it doesn't overeat.

This is all it needs until it's got feathers and could possibly go out on its own.

You might want to check into a wildlife rehabilitation center near you.

Thank you for replying, unfortunatly the robin pipped and started zipping, and then just stopped. The next morning i decide to help him out and found he was dead
