New Budgie, 4 Weeks Old

Featured Replies

Posted

I am hand rearing a sick baby budgie who has a couple of challenges. Can anyone give me an idea on how much he should be weighing each week?

Here is a topic from the breeding tips section about baby weights. I must say, though, that my pet types never seem to get much bigger than 30g, even when fully weaned. I have some 3 1/2 week olds right now that weigh between 25 and 32g. I've also noticed that once they reach this stage, they get more developed, but they don't necessarily gain in weight. I think maybe they just get less "dense", if that makes sense?
