WilDiets Medium Frugivore Maintenance Diet

WilDiets Medium Frugivore Maintenance is a complete maintenance diet formulated specifically for iron-sensitive, medium-sized frugivorous softbills — including toucans, aracaris, turacos, mynahs, and fruit-eating pigeons. Available in two bag sizes to suit keepers managing a single bird or a larger collection, this is a diet built around the biological reality of iron-sensitive species, not a generic softbill mix.

How to Feed It

This diet is designed to be offered alongside fresh sweet fruit, with the WilDiets Medium Frugivore Maintenance making up approximately 70% of the total ration. Used this way, it provides a nutritionally complete diet during non-reproductive periods. No vitamin or mineral supplementation is needed or recommended when feeding this diet as directed.

Iron Sensitivity — Why It Matters

Many frugivorous softbills are highly susceptible to iron storage disease, a serious and often fatal condition in captive birds fed inappropriate diets. WilDiets Medium Frugivore Maintenance is specifically formulated with a controlled iron level suited to these sensitive species. It should not be fed to species without iron sensitivity, as the iron content may be insufficient for their requirements.

Nutritional Composition

The diet delivers a full complement of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and amino acids tailored to the health of medium frugivores outside of the breeding season. Key inclusions worth noting:

• Inulin and dried brewer's yeast to support digestive health
• Yucca extract for ammonia reduction
• Natural antioxidants including green tea extract, rosemary extract, and tocopherols
• Carotenoids — beta-carotene, canthaxanthin, and marigold extract — for natural colour support
• Full vitamin profile: A, D3, E, K3, C, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, biotin, folic acid, niacin, and choline
• Chelated zinc, manganese, calcium iodate, and a selenium source for trace mineral coverage

Choose the bag size that suits your collection — the smaller option works well for single birds or those wanting to keep stock fresh, while the larger size suits keepers running multiple birds or aviaries where turnover is reliable.
