Hand-feeding formula for chicks
Psittadiet baby food is a complete and balanced formula used for manual feeding of psittacid chicks from birth to weaning.
Consult a vet before giving any type of vitamin-mineral supplement, or similar product, to birds that are regularly fed Psittadiet. An excess of vitamins and minerals can be harmful to the health and well-being of the bird.
Instructions for use
As a rule, a medium-large psittacid needs approximately 8-10 ml of formula
feed per 100 g of body weight.
To prepare, mix 25% formula feed with 75% mineral water.
The water must be at a temperature between 35 ºC and 37 ºC.
- Stir until no lumps remain and leave to stand for 3 minutes.
- Adjust the temperature and texture (the texture should be similar
to a stirred, slightly liquid yoghurt). - It is important to clean all utensils after use
