Health
In the beginning of June 2010, the budgies went for a check up at the Veterinary Hospital in Brunswick, Maine and saw Dr. Wood. They were deemed in good health and good weight, and will return in January or February for a pre-breeding checkup.
They are currently on Ivermectin Drops 0.1% for mite treatment. We do this as a precaution because like fleas, mites can become a big problem.
For beak and nail health, they have three cuttle bones in the cage at all times, along with a rope perch and natural tree branches to help avoid arthritis in the feet. The tree branches also help keep the nails trimmed.
In the cage there is also a lava rock and a calcium pineapple to help keep the beaks trimmed and healthy.
