So as the title states I am thinking about switching up Rileys diet. Currently it is approximately 95% pellets 2% seeds 2% nutriberries (the classic/original ones that are ment to be the main food source) and 1% dried greens. These percentages may be off but like I said this is approximately what they currently are. I am trying to get her to eat fresh foods but so far no luck but she will eventually eat them it just takes time. And I also need to make some birdie bread as she was eating her veggies that way. Anyways what I am thinking about doing is switching it to 60% sprouted seed 20% pellets 10% nutriberries 5% dry seeds and the other 5% made up of dried greens, birdie bread and fresh veggies and fruits as soon as she decides to eat them. Tomorrow we are going to try some fresh strawberries and by fresh I mean just picked off the plants because apparently my 10 strawberry plants didn't get the message that strawberry season ended in July and right now my plants are FULL of strawberries mostly not yet ripe. What do you guys think about these percentages?
