I need help with my sparrow eggs?

Question

I have 3 sparrow eggs. right now there in a shoe box with a heating pad on low and are also in a towel. is there anything else i should be doing to make them hatch. and also what do i need to do when they hatch.

Answer 1

Well this is going to be a BIG job trying to feed these sparrows just warning you.

First of all a heating pad shall not hatch these eggs you need a proper Incubater with the right tempature.

If you do get them to hatch with the incubater you can start feeding them a starling formula with a tooth pick and stick it in there mouths.

heres the Diet.

1 boiled egg.

1 tums mint is ok.

1/4 apple sauce.

1 cup of dog food. Senior purina dog food is great.

Let it sit for a while then mix and mush it all up and if needed at a little bit of water but if its mooshy enough theres no need.

Now never feed the baby birds worms because worms can infact carry worms that can go into the birds liver giving it a shorter life span also never feed a baby bird just water the formula I gave you has enough moister inside it and when the bird gets older then you can give it water in a cup letting it drink all by its self.

These birds shall need to be fed around every 25 mins or less untill they stop chirping.

Good luck.

DO NOT give them Kaytee formula it does not have enough vitamines for there bones and health please use the formula I gave you I raise birds so I should know.

Answer 2

Seriously they probly won't hatch. But if they do go buy some KAYTEE HAND FEEDING FORMULA from the pet store and make it up with hot tap water and feed them babies in the back of the throat with an eye dropped of formula every 2 hours until they are 14 days old, then switch the feedings to 1 in the AM and 1 in the PM by the time they are 4 weeks old they will be ready to fly away, but if it were me I'd keep them til they were 8 weeks old. GOOD LUCK and keep us posted!

Answer 3

I think your doing everything right. When they hatch i think you should have a small dropper thing because they can't eat anything hard untill theyre a little grown. They usually sell some kind of powdered bird food at pet stores that you can feed baby birds with using a dropper.

Answer 4

you are doing everything perfectly, when they hatch, feed them kitten formula through an eye dropper.once they are about four weeks old, mash up some worms (the live bait kind you van find at any grocery store) and sprinkle water and kitten formula on it and feed it through a straw. when they are eight weeks old they can eat bugs or meal worms. hope i was a help..
