This little guy was in a nest on a vehicle that wound up getting towed a couple of hours away and won't be returning for a few weeks. He was in a nest with two others that unfortunately didn't make it; all three of them were teaming with mites. I thought I'd take a shot at raising him since I have quite a bit of experience with chickens, pheasants, quails and have an extra brooder tank. He's been eating very well and the mites went away after being treated with permethrin.

When we were raising a conure from hatch we used a peanut butter slurry for this reason, high protein and fat via syringe. I can gather what we used when I get home as post it - that was 5 or 6 years ago now. Little fucker is just fine.
