Eclectus Diet

[missylynn]

So I use Hagan Tropican and Tropimix for my flock. Is that a good choice for Eclectus? I know they have special dietary needs, so I want to make sure. I am having a hard time finding choice Eclectus foods online.

I don't feed a lot of pellets to my eclectus they are strictly fresh fruit & veg, sprouts, raw nuts, a small amount of seed & pellets mixed together. I do also use the pellets you mentioned when they are available.

In fact IMO eclectus do far better health wise on a fresh diet. If your chasing seed mix to sprout a good place to start is a health food shop.

Can you list down seeds suitable for Eclectus health?

Can you list down sprouted seed detail, which sprouted seeds are beneficial?

The Ekkie Diet link is fantastic! As a new owner, the recipes are extremely helpful. I've printed it out. I'm doing some cooking & freezing this weekend!

I know I post this site almost every day, it has a great range of foods that you can incorprate into your eclectus daily diet. I have fed these foods to my eclectus for the past 20 years with great success.

Eclectus are like us the like a variety of foods.
