My Keet looks Manegy

User Question
Hey, I just got 2 keets just a while back and they are somewhat friendly and like my company. But one is looking kind of manegy. He has a tub so that he can bathe, but is still looking kind of manegy. He gets all puffed up and not slim like the other keet is.

Does this mean that he is sick or something?? I don't want them to because I just got them. So if you could answer for me that would be great cause Im' getting pretty worried!! Thanks for the help!!

It's hard to know exactly without seeing it, but keets come in all shapes, sizes and colors. It could just be that this second keet is a larger size and has more varieties of feather colors so he looks less 'slim and trim' than the first one. But you should always take keets to a new keet checkup to make sure they are healthy. It's not much money at all, and is good to make sure your keet is healthy before the pet store's warranty time expires.
