Some of my zebra finches escaped, I feel terrible. :( They left behind 3 babies. They have not fledged yet, but they have all their feathers. So far I've had them for a day and a night.
I'm at least trying to keep them alive, instead of just leaving them. Here's what I'm doing, please tell me if I'm doing it okay or if I'm completely wrong (I have NO experience with this sort of thing!).
I feed them once every 4 hours. I'm using Avione Hand Rearing Formula.
They are in a shoe box with the lid open a crack. there is paper towel and a tea towel on the bottom, and they are in a plastic container with tissues and feathers. I put a shot glass of water in there for humidity or whatever, not sure if it's working.
After phoning 7 pet stores, a pharmacy, a vet and an electrical store, I had no luck finding a heat pad so I put the shoe box on my electric blanket with the setting on low.
