How to hand-rear parrots
It is indicated to hand-rear those parrot species that need especially high fat diets. It contains a mix of vegetable fats suitable for these species: palm and coconut oils. It also contains papaya which favours digestive transit.
It is a follow-on hand-feeding formula that should be used from the moment pin feathers emerge until weaning.
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.
For younger animals, it is necessary to use first-age hand-feeding formulas like the Granivorous Psittacine Crop Milk or the Granivorous Neonatal Hand Feeding (depending on the age of the chick).
At weaning switch progressively to Omega or High Energy Breeding.
