No worries Debbie, I have a new unopened container of Kaytee Exact.

New feeding syringes (although I used an eye dropper in the emergency with the societies, I dont recommend it for people who have arent experienced using it due to possibility of reverse suction).

After the my crisis with the societies, I learned my lesson and made sure I bought all the backup supplies.

But when all else fails.....there will be my boys CackleJax & KoJax. Those two cant resist a begging baby!

If they do lay eggs, Im going to plop a fake egg into Lucky's nest for a test, just to see if I can get her to go "broody" for me, so if they dont sit she will.

I got the whole society team rooting me :)

She ate some of it right away but she prefers devouring the millet. She tugs at it like a dog on a rope. Grrrr Grrrrrr

@Madcat

I know she likes the spray millet, but she needs the egg.
I'd offer egg before the spray millet (dinner before dessert ).

They'll find the nest box when the time is right :-).

Ahh gotcha, egg in the morning. No millet til noon. Good idea! =D>

Oh surprisingly the egg came out very fluffy and in teeny bits. Very nice texture the next day. Lucky and her crew devoured it!

Excellent, glad to hear that the egg food turned out good. So now you have your own recipe. Just goes to show, that there is no one right way to do things :-BD :)

I only think it turned out fluffy because the eggs were still hot when I put them in the food processor.

If they were cold I think it would have been egg soup. :YMTONGUE:
