Advice On Weaning The Baby Woodies.

[amyable]

I am trying to wean the two baby Woodies off the Kaytee formula now.

They have just started to pick up seeds today, so I wasn't sure how much I should hand feed them now. They both weigh 225gms.

I only gave them three feeds today and they picked up a few seeds while I was around, so are starting to manage seeds, but I don't know that they would eat enough as yet to keep them going.

I have put them in a cage that is large enough for them to stretch their wings, and they have fluttered out of the box I had them in before, so are experimenting with flying techniques.
I have them outside now in the shed with the feral rescues, and am leaving them overnight for the first time tonight, and missing the late feed.
I want to try and get them accustomed to birds, but so far whenever I go in, they squeak at me for a feed all the time.
Do I just ignore them now or is it too soon to leave them alone totally.

The problem is they just huddle up together in a corner of the cage until I appear, so I am trying to be careful about them imprinting.
