Hi Deborah,
The person I bought the BP from was reputable in my opinion. If the animal was well started I don't know (It doesn't seem so to me tho). I do communicate with the breeder, but his suggestion was only 'feed it live' because it had done that before. He keeps his hatschlings in a (self made) juvenile rack.
What is the 'brown paper trick'?
I weighted the bp again, it's weight has gone down more(!) She only weighes in at 37 g(). That is 15 g down from where I started four weeks ago........
Should I assist feed?
Regards, Giddy.
