I tried to find more info by searching, but I didnāt come up with much, so please feel free to point me to any previous threads with the info Iām seeking!
I brought home my new baby yesterday, heās about 8 weeks. Heās fully weaned, eating a mix from the breeder of seeds, dried corn, and some colorful pieces that appear to be the Kaytee Exact Rainbow (but Iām not certain). He hadnāt had any fruits or veggies from the breeder yet.
I want to transition him to ZuPreem pellets, and weāve offered a few different fruits and veggies yesterday and today, with some minor success. Just enough for him to get a taste and then heās over it.
I assume I should slowly transition to new pellets, mixing a larger and larger portion into the seed mix until itās all pellets, similar to switching dog food brands?
Is there a time that young parrots are too young for fruits and veggies after weaning? Are there best practices for introducing new produce, or is it kind of trial and error?
Iām open to any and all suggestions [emoji16] thanks in advance!
