How to hand-rear parrots
Formulated as an early-age hand-feeding formula, suitable for hand-rearing granivorous psittacine birds during the 2nd phase of the early-age period (from the 5th-8th day of life until the moment pin feathers emerge). It contains a high proportion of dehydrated whole egg and papaya, which favour digestive transit.
It is advisable to prepare the formula with lukewarm water at a concentration of approximately 25 % solids. It is recommended to administer the formula with a soft feeding tube.
In younger animals, it is essential to use the Granivorous Psittacine Crop Milk
From the moment pin feathers emerge, it is necessary to switch to a follow-on hand-feeding formula appropriate for the species to be hand-reared.
