Conure weaning

How long should the gap overnight from feed be for 6 week old and 8 week old conure chick

Hi,

They should be able to go all night by those ages, if they are starting to pick at solid foods on their own. It’s hard to give you a time frame because individual bird develop at different rates. Basically however long it takes for the crop to empty during the day, is how long they can go at night without being fed.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
