Psittacus Lory Special Hand Feeding

Psittacus Lory Special Hand Feeding is a follow-on hand rearing formula developed specifically for chicks of the Loriinae subfamily. It is designed to be introduced from the point at which feathers begin to emerge, supporting healthy development through to weaning and emancipation.

Who It Is For

This is not a formula for day-one chicks. From the 16th day of life onwards, Lory Special Hand Feeding takes over from early-age formulas such as those suited to frugivorous neonates. For younger animals not yet at this stage, an appropriate early-age crop milk or neonatal formula should be used first.

Key Ingredients

• Dehydrated hibiscus flower — a natural component aligned with the lory's wild diet
• Papaya — included to support healthy digestive transit
• Analytical constituents: Crude protein 20.0%, Crude oils and fats 14.0%

Feeding Guidance

Lories typically consume between 7 and 10 ml of formula per feeding bout per 100 g of body weight, though this will vary between individuals and developmental stages. The number of feeds and quantities offered should be adjusted accordingly as the chick grows.

Weaning and Transition

Use of this formula is recommended right through to emancipation. During the weaning phase, it should be replaced gradually — transitioning the chick onto an appropriate lory gel and dry or suspended lory nectar offered freely alongside the hand feeding routine.

Available Sizes

Psittacus Lory Special Hand Feeding is available in a range of bag sizes to suit breeders working with a single clutch through to those managing larger numbers of chicks across a season. Select the appropriate size from the options on this page.

A well-supported hand rearing process makes a measurable difference to chick development and long-term condition. Having the right formula at the right life stage is central to that — and Lory Special Hand Feeding is built around exactly that principle.
