Re: whats the longest time a egg takes to hatch

You are welcome. Age shouldn't necessarily be a factor I guess.
Hard to say if being her first time enters into it. Too bad
Greys can be such picky eaters. I know, mine is the poster boy
for picky. You probably already know calcium control can be real
tricky with Greys. I have found that sometimes it helps to not
only continue offering different foods but to also eat with
them. Does she like Almonds? Those are a great source of
calcium. Have you tried making a large cuttle bone available. I
know most folks don't think of Greys and cuttle bones in the same
sentence but it's not like they are so expensive it would hurt to
try. When I first adopted mine, he devoured one of the large
ones in about 2 weeks, then has never touched one again. I would
just say that if you are in doubt, talk to your vet about the
calcium issues. There is a quick blood test they can do to
determine levels. Good luck.
