Okay, I know I might sound weird but here it goes....
Eli, my Sun Conure, is doing great! No problems whatsoever, and passed his most recent exam with flying colors.
When he came from his breeder, he was on a diet of Mazuri pellets, Higgins Safflower Gold, and a chop mix. After doing some research, I decided to feed him Goldenfeast for his seed and pellet, and he's been eating that the past year or so.
Digging even further though, I just feel like the Goldenfeast just has too much sugar in it. Ive noticed subtle changes over the past few months, but never thought much of it. You know, I just don't think he LIKES the pellets. It's almost like he eats them begrudgingly, because I'll find a ton of it wasted at the bottom of his cage. And, as you know, that stuff is too expensive to waste.
I was in PETCO today and happened to see their expanded line of Higgins products. I really liked the look of the Higgins InTune pellets and the Safflower Gold.
Any thoughts of those products? Am I crazy to think that the Goldenfeast is too sugary? Not only does it have the sugar from the tons of fruits in it, but it also has bee pollen and honey as well. Don't get me wrong, I love all the ingredients in the Goldenfeast, I'm just wondering if I could do better.
Thanks for reading!
