J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Was it live food they were feeding them Peter?,as chaffies need live food to rear their chicks unlike the other finches that can do it on a veggie diet as such. I was feeding the mealworms they were thriving till they started to fly Hi, they can't survive on just mealworms. Young birds need a more mixed diet than the high protein mealworms. I wonder if they got some sort of 'protein poisoning'?? I always syringe fed and used a combination of tinned go food, garden peas/baked beans and banana with a bit of brocolli.....reared all kinds of birds on that mix.... better man than me if you can squeeze go food through a syringe pal It was a spelling error. It was meant to read dog food. Ever so sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
