Roudybush Lory Diet - Nectar 15

Description

Roudybush Lory Diet - Nectar 15 is a lory diet formulated with 15% protein. This nectar diet is lower in sugar than other brands of nectars, which may be helpful because lories are prone to yeast infections due to the high-sugar diets they are commonly fed.

When switching a bird from another brand of nectar, some birds may require a small amount of powdered sugar added to the diet at first, then slowly eliminated to help convert them. Feeding pellets, crumbles, or dry powdered Lory Nectar may result in drier, easier-to-clean droppings.

Some people grind maintenance pellets into a powder or convert their birds to maintenance crumbles, and lories may do very well on the maintenance diet. Although some people use Lory Nectar to handfeed lory chicks, the provided guidance recommends using Formula 3, which provides a little higher protein needed for growth in chicks and eliminates the sugar that could lead to yeast infections.

This formula is also formulated for hand-feeding hummingbirds from 0–3 weeks of age and contains 15% protein.

Important: Not for use in hummingbird feeders.

Feeding / Use Notes

This diet is lower in sugar than other brands of nectars, so switching a bird from another brand of nectar sometimes requires adding a small amount of powdered sugar to the diet and slowly eliminating it to convert the birds. Less sugar is helpful to reduce incidence of yeast infections that lories are prone to due to the high sugar diets they are commonly fed.

Some people grind up the maintenance pellets into a powder or convert their birds to maintenance crumbles. Lories do very well on the maintenance diet. Feeding pellets, crumbles, or dry powdered Lory Nectar will result in drier, easier to clean up droppings, making lories that much more pleasant to live with. Although some people use the Lory Nectar to handfeed lory chicks, we recommend using Formula 3, which provides a little higher protein needed for growth in the chicks and eliminates the sugar that could lead to yeast infections. Also Formulated for hand-feeding hummingbirds from 0-3 weeks of age; it contains 15% protein.

Not for use in Hummingbird feeders.
