Psittacus High Energy Plus - Hand Feeding Formula

The High Energy Plus Hand Feeding Formula is designed for hand-rearing psittacine species that require high-fat diets. This formula supports optimal growth and development from the moment pin feathers emerge until weaning. It is particularly suitable for species such as the Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), Black Palm Cockatoo (Probosciger aterrimus), Golden Conure (Guaruba guarouba), Green-winged Macaw (Ara chloroptera), and Buffon's Macaw (Ara ambiguus).

Key Features:

• Digestive Support: Contains dried papaya to aid digestive transit.
• Follow-On Formula: Use from the emergence of pin feathers until weaning.
• Preparation: Mix with lukewarm water to a concentration of approximately 25% solids.
• Feeding Method: Recommended to administer with a soft feeding tube for best results.
