Question

I have 2 parkeets that i am thinking about breeding just tell me is it hard to take care of the babies??

Answer 1

If something goes wrong and the parents either can't or won't, then yes it is. They are super fragile, and need feedings every few hours... and the feedings are specific with use of formula and a syringe. The temperature of the formula has to be exact too - if too cold, it's bad for them and they won't eat it. If too hot it will burn a hole in their crop.

I wouldn't recommend it until you have seen someone else do it first hand to see what is involved. Here are some sites specifically on parakeet breeding so you can possibly ask more detailed questions and get the same detail back in your answers;
