{"product_id":"psittacus-lory-special-hand-feeding","title":"Psittacus Lory Special Hand Feeding Formula","description":"\u003cp\u003ePsittacus Lory Special Hand Feeding is a follow-on rearing formula developed specifically for hand-raised chicks within the Loriinae subfamily. It is intended for use from the point at which feathers begin to emerge, supporting healthy development through to full emancipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFormulated for Lories and Lorikeets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula includes dehydrated hibiscus flower, reflecting the natural dietary preferences of nectarivorous psittacines. Papaya is also included to support digestive transit — a practical consideration given the sensitive gut flora of lory chicks during development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn average, lory chicks consume between 7 and 10 ml of formula per feeding bout per 100 g of body weight. The number of feeds and quantity offered should be adjusted to suit the individual chick and its current stage of development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFollow-On Use from Day 16\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a follow-on formula, making it appropriate from the 16th day of life onwards. For younger neonates, an early-age formula such as a frugivorous crop milk or neonatal product is more appropriate before transitioning to this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWeaning Transition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse is recommended right through to emancipation. During the weaning phase, this formula should be phased out gradually and replaced with a lory gel and dry or suspended lory nectar offered ad libitum, easing the chick toward independent feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnalytical Constituents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein: 20.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude oils and fats: 14.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in a choice of bag sizes to suit breeders working with a single bird or running a larger programme — select the right quantity for your setup from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":54176472006993,"sku":"4FPH014","price":19.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":54176472039761,"sku":"4FPH015","price":77.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/psittacus-lory-special-hand-feeding","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
