RECOMMENDATIONS
Hydrated Microspheres are excellent for stimulating the nestling of chicks.
It is easily prepared in a very short time: the microspheres are poured into a bowl, water is added, they are left to rest for 30 minutes, they are fluffed and they are ready to serve. We recommend adding PSITTACUS breeding paste and optionally crushed vegetables.
If they are going to be supplied alone, the proportions in volume are: 2 parts of Microspheres + 1 part of water. If you want to add vegetables and breeding paste: 2 parts of Microspheres + 1,5-2 parts of water + vegetables + 0,5-1 parts of breeding paste. It will add more or less amount of breeding paste depending on the final morbidity of the mixture; Birds like wet textures but not pasty or with lumps.
We recommend that small psittacids fed with Microspheres always have flint silex at their disposal. This sand will favor the correct functioning of the gizzard.
