Hi Everyone.

Are chestnuts okay?
We roast chestnuts & would love to share w/ Levi if they are safe?

Thank you. :)

Yes they are fine.
on a side note,,,if they are wormy...good source of protein

Mine loves them....though I asked about nuts at the Vet today and he recommends no more than a teaspoon of seeds or nuts for my 196 gram Hawk Head.....Of course I've been giving her way more than that but now I've switched her over to Harrisons High Potency Power Treats instead.....she doesnt get as excited about them as her cashews but eats them just as fast.

Yes, my Vet said sparingly and that Almonds were the best. Thx :)

Tami2, thanks. Nike typically doesn't like what's good for her and almonds are her least favorite nut. She will occasionally eat one shelled, but even when I start it for her, she is too lazy to take one out of the shell.

I cant tell you how much money I've spend buying her good food, or steaming veggies, only to have her turn her beak up at it...which is why I'm all excited that she's taken to Harrison's.
