Peanut Free Pellets

[Tsali]

I guess we all have our own little quirks just like our fids. Mine is peanuts. I do NOT feed them due to the risk of the Aspergillus fungus. Just one danger I can eliminate by not feeding peanuts. I am a label reader and when I see peanuts, I say NO WAY.

WHY oh WHY is it so difficult to find quality food that does not contain peanuts? I feed TOPS and Higgins In Tune. I would like to find some more non-peanut pellets to provide more variety. In addition to his pellets, Tsali gets tons of fresh veges, fruits, gently dehydrated sprouts and grains along with a small portion of seeds and nuts.

If anyone can help out with brands of peanut free pellets, I would greatly appreciate it.

I wanted to try Harrisons, but the 4th ingredient is ground shelled peanuts:

HARRISON’S ADULT LIFETIME COARSE (ALC)
Ingredients: *Ground Yellow Corn, *Ground Hulless Barley, *Ground Soybeans, *Ground Shelled Peanuts,

It looks like they are using a lot of inexpensive low quality ingredients - I also worry about GMO's.
