Forever worrying !

Hi everyone
Do u ever find u worry about your pets to much.
I have moved Ernest into the big cage and I have not seen him drink and in the same room as him all the time he has been in for two days and moves from seed to rope perch in the top corner. My partner says I worry and not move things close to him because he will never move around the cage.
I do worry about these things.... How long can they go without a drink he has two drinkers on the front on perches should I move them ?
I need to get out more lol !

but if there new type put a dish of water in aswell..

It's the old type still have not seen him come to the front o the cage he just sits at the back :-(

He will move around the cage once he gets used to it. Are there empty seed husks in the cage and signs of eating?

[lizb]

O he is defo eatting and throwing seeds around the place lol

I think I'm a budgie worryer also, I had the hamster water bottle and never once seen them drink from it, I put a bowl of water in on the floor and within 30 seconds they both had a drink, so i got a gravity water thingy and have seen them both use that so it's a relief.
Now all i have to worry about is why they aren't using the iodine block and cuttle bone...although they do eat the oyster grit.....
Oh the paranoia of budgiehood.

Sometimes when a budgie is getting used to his new surrounings, he won't want to make himself vunerable so he might actually be drinking when you are not looking. The fact he is eating is a positive sign and agree with Mick put an extra dish of water in just in case.

Am sure he will be fine
