Harrisons VS Nutriberries

[jasper19]

So for some reason i had been thinkng nutriberries were just a treat type food item, but from reading the back it says it can be served as the main 80% of the diet.

I have switched angel over to harrisons pellets at this point. But should i have her on nutriberries instead?

Which do you guys think is the better main diet? Is either better then the other?

I have seen results both visual and through bloodwork, that Harrison's is a superior product.

Lafeber's (Nutriberries company) is said to have a decent pellet, but personally I feed the Nutriberries only for treats.

Thanks RavensGryf

I will probably stick with harrisons then, i was curious others experiences with either.

I was surprised at how quickly i was able to get angel to start eating harrisons pellets. I thought it would be a very hard struggle as she was a seed addict, turning her nose up at many fresh veggies even.

But only took like 3-4 days using various techniques found here and else where and now her main food is harrisons, and i have been giving a few nutriberry as treats mixed with other dried fruits and some other stuff sprinkled on. She is completely off the crappy walmart seed mix they had been feeding her.

All my birds and past birds have taken right to Harrison's with no problem. In fact they all love it. Many people report that their birds don't like Harrison's, so I guess we got lucky

I'm definitely with Julie on this one - Harrison's is a great product. It's a favorite of my IRN and a close first with my conure. You'll often find on most pelleted products that they'll suggest "80%" of the diet or around there, mainly as a gimmick. No bird needs 80% of a pelleted diet to live, but it certainly makes it easier to provide high quality pellets to your birds because you know they're getting the minerals and vitamins they need. And there's definitely a difference in quality between pellets, so it's always good to look into what they're made of.

My little peep doesn't like nutriberries at all! Harrison's pellets are on the menu!
