Forchew Lory Special – Hand Feeding Formula

Forchew Lory Special Nectar – Hand Feeding Formula

Overview

Forchew Lory Special Nectar Hand Feeding Formula is tailor-made for lories and lorikeets whose natural diet is nectar-based. This specialized formula provides a high-sugar, easily digestible diet suitable for fruit- and nectar-eating parrots. It offers balanced nutrients, rapid energy release, smooth digestion, and a texture similar to natural nectar sources.

Description

Lories and lorikeets have a unique digestive system built for liquid, nectar-rich foods—not dense or high-protein diets. Forchew Lory Special Nectar mimics their natural dietary pattern by supplying a high-energy nectar mix enriched with fruit powders, plant-based sugars, herbal extracts, active enzymes, and essential amino acids.

The formula supports vibrant feather colours, high activity levels, and optimal digestive function. With controlled protein levels and enhanced sugars, it ensures healthy growth, energetic behaviour, and feather brilliance in these specialized species.

This formula is smooth, easy to mix, and designed to pass through the lorikeet digestive tract without causing stress, making it ideal for chicks, juveniles, and adult lories during hand-feeding.
