Changing Diet

[DeANN]

Hi everyone!

Nalah has been here nearly two weeks now, when the breeder shipped her she shipped a couple of baggies of food, seeds clearly her preferred food, she won't touch ANYTHING else.


The vet recommended she be switched to a pellet diet Lafaber's was suggested with fresh fruit and vegtables etc..not a problem, ordered a huge box from amazon along with a hug box of the multiberry ball things ..the problem is, she will NOT WILL NOT TOUCH ANYTHING BUT what the breeder shipped with her and the ball things which looks mostly like seed to me.

She will have all bowls full, fresh and begging to be eaten and she will ignore it completely all the while begging for food

suggestions?

Lafebers makes Nutriberries which are part seed and part pellets. They are supposedly "nutritionally sound" - although most people use them as treats, not as their birds actual food! My Jayde loves them, too! (and I think I prefer them over the Goldenfeast blends for conures....)


Here, check out this thread for some ideas!

You could try this granola on top of the pellets. It has worked well for me.
