Hi,

my male weavers has been in partial eclipse plummage since december, his head is brown, neck orange, and the rest looks again brown witht he occasional black feather here and there.

I do have the feeling he has gotten an few more black feathers, but I am not sure(if he got any new ones then only 2-3).
Do they always take that long??

Our Farm, Garden & Pet store said I should feed them carrots, but they wont touch them(together with any other veggies or greenery).

Everyone is healthy and happy, eating well etc.

I just feel he is taking too long for his molt.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anna

Sorry nobody has answered to your post! I personally know nothing about weavers, as I have never owned any! Maybe someone else could help?

Do you feed any insects? My weaver loves bugs. Also, have you tried a moulting supplement?
