I have two baby joeys. They are about 5 weeks old. They seem very healthy. I was feeding their parents mealworms yesturday and was questioning giving the babies one. Is this okay? or dangerous? Any helpful ideas on what to feed them and when?
5 weeks OOP I wouldn't bother even offering to be honest, they're still suckling off mum and not even close to weaning. I think the parents would appreciate them more
Even after the joeys are weaned, they still may stick their nose up to a mealy. After weaned, break one in half and let them lick the insides. I know it sounds gross, but they are babies and don't know what the mealy is. If they get a taste of the liquid part, they'll get the idea it's something yummy.
