Psittacus Frugivorous Neonatal Hand Feeding Formula 1kg

Psittacus Frugivorous Neonatal Hand Feeding is a specialist early-age formula designed for hand-rearing frugivorous psittacine birds through the second phase of the neonatal period — from approximately day 7–8 of life through to the emergence of pin feathers. It is not a general-purpose hand-rearing food; it is formulated specifically for this critical developmental window in fruit-eating parrot species.

Formulation and Key Ingredients

The formula contains a high proportion of dehydrated whole egg and papaya. Whole egg supports early-stage nutritional demands, while papaya is included specifically to favour digestive transit — an important consideration in very young birds whose digestive systems are still developing.

Preparation and Administration

Mix the formula with lukewarm water to a concentration of approximately 25% solids. Administration via a soft feeding tube is recommended to ensure safe and accurate crop delivery at this age.

Stage-Specific Use — What to Use Before and After

• For birds younger than 7–8 days, Psittacus Frugivorous Psittacine Crop Milk should be used in place of this formula
• Once pin feathers begin to emerge, transition to a follow-on hand-feeding formula appropriate to the species being reared
• This product covers the second neonatal phase only — it is part of a staged rearing programme, not a standalone solution

Used correctly as part of a structured hand-rearing protocol, Psittacus Frugivorous Neonatal Hand Feeding gives keepers and breeders a species-appropriate, stage-specific tool for getting frugivorous psittacines through one of their most vulnerable developmental periods.
