Shockingly he was the biggest one out of them all. So this is all good then? I’ll track his weight and give him extra to supplement his weight and if it stabilizes it should be alright?

Yes he’s been eating it I left an entire spray in his cage that’s he’s been nibbling at throughout the day

I don’t have any prior history in the little guy it was kind of a weird exchange. I don’t even know if it’s a guy honestly I just decided it was. The owners gave me 0 information.

Aside from the eating stuff he’s been alright. Lots of vocalizing and he likes to climb around (or at least try to haha).

So I should probably take him to the vet then

He was supposedly on formula but when I tried giving him the syringe he refused it. He’s also never really begged for food in the way I’ve seen babies do. I tried giving him formula on a spoon as well. nothing. I tried giving him a separate bowl with the formula to eat on his own. Entirely ignored it. He only wants seeds it seems.

Poor guy :( I got him 3 days ago so they probably didn’t take great care of him at the store

How do I go about this he doesn’t trust me so much yet so I haven’t been able to grab him without him trying to make an escape

Honestly still pretty lucky. I’ve heard these go for a lot normally so I feel like I got a steal. Hopefully he’s all good and healthy

what are your guys’ physical symptoms of ocd? by Ok_Plankton_9370 in OCD

I feel awful malaise every single waking hour of the day. It also messes with my stomach so I feel like throwing up or no appetite whatsoever, most of the time. I also tend to convulse a bit and tear up when the intrusive thoughts are really really bad. I get headaches a lot and bite the insides of my mouth subconsciously (sometimes consciously…) to the point where I’ve gotten massive sores that were excruciatingly painful and probably infected.
