A friend of mine raises doves, but do to a sudden emergency she has, she ran over to my place and gave me a 3-4 day old dove. I have experience in hand-rearing parrots...and I am reading up on raising baby doves and am getting a little nervous...LOL
I see they need a high protien diet. I told her I have had rearing formula, but she was really upset and left quickly. I told her I would take care of the baby.
The formula I have is Neo-nate and has 22% crude protien, 10% crude fat, 4% cruid fiber. Is this enough? No one in town sells squab diet formulas...and it could take a week for an order over the net to arrive. Could I add something to the neo-nate to make up the protien content?
Until next time...
