I think these may make a useful supplement to limbs, and when I have had to use them over extended periods of time I literally stuffed them with reptile vitamin supplement powder.
Definitely information worth noting. I'm hoping to start moving some of them to pinkies and quail chicks soon (gave 2 a pinky plus a thigh today as an experiment, so fingers crossed) but I will definitely remember that tip if I end up pushing bird parts for an extended period. Thanks.
