Posted June 29, 200816 yr I decided to start a new topic for Roxy and Tiny, the 2 babies i am handraising where i will put regular updates and photos of their progress for people who are interested in how they are going.Roxy is improving a little bit every day, this morning she started walking, her balance is not 100% but keeps getting better every day. She loves food time and is a little piggy. Tiny on the other hand is going to have a long road to get back to good health, as well as having splayed legs it looks like one of his legs got injured when he was squashed in the nestbox, his foot is swollen as well as no movement in that leg.He also has red marks on his back and no down feathers so i say he has been peek at as well.He is 2 weeks old today but still very little. Here is a photo of my 2 little fighters.
June 30, 200816 yr Author i just had to post another picture of Roxy today. i was giving them their afternoon feed and Roxy did not like the idea that Tiny was getting feed first so attempted to climb out of her container which is so amazing when 4 days ago she could not even hold her head up by herself. I am so proud of how far my little girl has come.
June 30, 200816 yr Good to see Perhaps Tiny's leg sponges are on too tight as that can sometimes happen Be weary of sour crop now they're being hand reared... any slow crop processing needs to be assessed or you can lose them in a matter of hours... Edited June 30, 200816 yr by *libby*
June 30, 200816 yr good luck and I look forward to watching the journey, that last picture is just way too sweet
June 30, 200816 yr Im so sorry :hap: I hope you feel comforted by the fact that he was warm, safe and fed in your care - well done :angel1:
July 1, 200816 yr Author Roxy had a busy morning this morning meeting Tweety and Runt for the first time. Tweety stayed on my shoulder but Runt was very curious about the new housemate. Runt had to check out feed time. After food it was time for introductions. Then sleep time.
July 1, 200816 yr That teddy bear picture is the cutest thing I have ever seen Deb. Definitely a good entry for budgie of the month. it would win my vote if I had any power to vote
July 1, 200816 yr Author Roxie is GORGEOUS!!! What mutations is she? i have been told she is a opaline spangle.
July 2, 200816 yr So sorry for your loss. I know how much you were pulling for the little guy. Biggest ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))... and those pictures are just divine... what a cutie!!!!!
July 4, 200816 yr Author Roxy is 3 1/2 weeks old now and is going really well. The problems she was having with her balance have gone and she is feeding so well that we have gone from a syringe to eating from a spoon.
July 4, 200816 yr Roxy is very cute and I also love the teddy bear picture . I'm sorry about Tiny :rip:
