I'm beyond excited to be bringing home a 3 year old male ekkie this weekend. He has been eating chop and pellets for the past three months, before that, mostly seed. Apparently he takes his veggies pretty well.
My first question - for diet, how does this sound? I plan to convert to TOPS pellets, and feed only a few per day (in foraging toys if/once he is able to forage). I made a large batch of frozen chop consisting of kale, steamed butternut squash, pears, carrots, cooked beans and apples. I don't have sprouting seeds at the moment so I am sprouting a bean mix instead that I will offer with his chop. I plan to offer chop in the morning for a couple hours, remove and clean, let him forage for TOPS pellets, and offer a chop serving before bedtime. I'll reserve nuts for training rewards.
My second question - this 3 year old boy is apparently a horny little green monster. I'm guessing he's in the height of ekkie puberty. How long is puberty/heightened hormonal behavior known to last for male ekkies? For his masturbation, I plan to encourage him to make love to his toys and not to my hands, but otherwise not to intervene too much in that behavior.
