WilDiets Small Frugivore Maintenance Diet 3kg

WilDiets Small Frugivore Maintenance 3kg is a specifically formulated maintenance diet for iron-sensitive, medium-sized frugivorous softbills — including toucans, turacos, mynahs, aracaris, and fruit-eating pigeons. Designed for non-reproductive periods, it takes the guesswork out of meeting the complex nutritional demands of these specialist species.

How to Feed

This diet is intended to make up approximately 70% of daily intake, fed alongside fresh sweet fruit to complete the nutritional picture during maintenance periods. It is formulated exclusively for iron-sensitive species — the iron level is deliberately low and would be insufficient for other bird types, so species compatibility matters here.

Nutritional Foundation

The formulation provides a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and amino acids to support baseline health in non-breeding birds. Key inclusions cover the full B-vitamin complex, fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, E, and K3, as well as Vitamin C and beta-carotene for antioxidant support.

Composition

Built on a base of cereal grains and their derivatives, oil seeds and fruits, fructose, and dried brewer's yeast, with vegetable oils (refined canola and refined palm), tubers, roots, dehydrated apple pulp, inulin from chicory, Mojave yucca, and marigold meal (Tagetes erecta). Dried egg shells provide a natural calcium source, and minerals and their derivatives round out the base.
