Well a bit of positive news - Marley had a little chase the Murph time yesterday afternoon lol! (Much to Murphs disgust) The red millet arrived too so he's been (hopefully) taking some of that in - meant to ask you Marianne is it higher in protein than normal millet? Thanks for the warning about meds too Marianne Marlow I was really worried as he lost 3 grams since he's been on the meds and I thought I was losing him Keeping everything crossed. Going to ring the vet shortly to make sure they've posted the meds first class today.

I don't know if it has more protein samwiseg but I know it's meant to be much more nutritious than the normal white/yellow millets. My lot will only eat the red one, after being spoiled. When JoJo used to stop eating seed I had to give her Red millet to keep her weight up, ever since I have had to buy it on a regular basis.

I'm glad he felt well enough to have a little play time samwiseg. Hope he enjoys his red millet, it's all my two would ever eat, I tried them on the other stuff once.....they wouldn't touch it. Expensive tastes these birdies 🤣

Oh dear, have I started something I am going to have to keep up now?! I just didn't know if there was anything different about the red millet Marianne Marlow, nutrition wise I mean. They do seem to love it By the way phoned the vets yesterday..."sorry it hasn;t arrived hopefully it will be here tomorrow" I will ring them again today hoping they have had it in and posted it. It does feel like this vets fills you with despair at times especially because I only have one more dose left to give him tonight from this lot and I didnt want to have a break in his medication really Pray the meds arrive tomorrow

After a nervous breakdown and a very obliging mother, we collected the meds yesterday 1/2hr before the vets closed. This time, they have given me the WHOLE BOTTLE. So 50mg of powder with water. I dont think they want me to come back do you? Marley is...stable. He has been 40 grams, went down to 35 but is now 32 he hasn't lost anymore but am trying desperately to keep feeding him up God this is such a struggle!

Speaking of egg, can you scramble it without milk instead of giving them hard boiled egg Marianne Marlow?

Yes you can scramble eggs without milk, I do it for the chooks samwiseg, add one tablespoon of water for each egg, presumably of course you will only need one, despite the fact you would like Marley to eat more!!
