BREAKTHROUGH

my husband talked to me about bentley eating his pellets!! i could not believe my ears, so i had to see it for myself. i went into the bedroom and as i was talking to him, he went into his cage, to his food bowl, picked up a purple pellet (its the zupreem fruit blend) shaped as a bunch of grapes...AND HE STARTED EATING IT. unbelieveable. he could've just been chomping it to pieces and not eating it, so i have to take a look next time, but its wonderful that he's trying them! i think we will still continue to give him some seeds, but we will decrease the amount of it every other day. this is great because he needs to get rid of some weight. we will then use seeds and nuts more for treats.

what bentley has also been doing is showing his "love" for my husband. bentley has started to regurgitate for him. i have told my husband to turn away from bentley if he starts making motions and sounds of regurgitation to discourage this behavior (bentley needs the nutrition more than my husband!). so far he hasn't done this action for 1 day.

oh, and before i forget, the cipro dosages have been going well. my husband has been administering these, and from what i hear, without problems! this is great! it should be ending soon.
