It is introduced from the point when pin feathers begin to emerge, bridging the gap between early neonatal feeds and weaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Formulated For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis formula is specifically intended for low-fat dietary requirements common to several parrot genera. It is not a starter formula — for neonates and very young chicks, an early-age formula should be used first. In Amazon parrots, for example, this product comes into use from approximately the third week of life onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula contains stable high oleic oil, appropriate to the fat requirements of these species, and includes papaya to support healthy digestive transit. Both additions are targeted rather than generic — supporting gut function and dietary balance through the critical pin feather stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnalytical Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein: 20.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude oils and fats: 10.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn average, parrots consume between 7 and 10 ml of formula per feeding per 100 g of body weight. The number of daily feeds required will vary depending on the species and the individual chick's age and development stage — close monitoring of crop fill and weight gain is recommended throughout the hand-rearing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in a 5 kg pack, this is a serious quantity suited to breeders and experienced hand-rearers managing multiple chicks or extended rearing seasons. Having the correct follow-on formula to hand at the right developmental stage makes a measurable difference to chick outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"1kg+","offer_id":54146895675729,"sku":"4FPH003","price":15.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg+","offer_id":54146895708497,"sku":"4FPH004","price":56.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/4FPH003_1.jpg?v=1782487493","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/psittacus-high-protein-hand-feeding-1kg","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
