Hand-feeding Zebra finch chick (DAY 1-27) | Ručno hranjenje zeba (Dan 1-27)

We mixed warm water and minced "Plazma" biscuit. I don't know how to describe it, similar to Petit beurre biscuit, if you've heard about it.

If you use syringe: A crop of a chick 1-3 days old will hold about the equivalent of 3-5 seeds. 4-7 days old the capacity should double. 8-15 days old it should hold around 0.5CC (ml) , after that it'll hold 1CC (ml) or more depending on species.

The younger the chick is, the more often you need to feed it. Each chick will be different, watch the chick and check on it frequently for the first few days. Let the baby tell you how often to feed. Or more simply put, if the crop is empty, feed the baby and check on it more frequently.

💮 Night feedings are often necessary for 1-3 day old chicks. Hand feeding formula is very digestible and will pass through the baby very quickly.
Do not let the chick go more than 3-4 hours between feedings at night until it is older.
1-3 days old: 30 minutes to an hour
4-7 days old: an hour to an hour and a half
8-15 days old: an hour and a half to 2 and a half hours
16-30 days old: every 2-4 hours
30-weaning: as needed
