Wombaroo Granivore Rearing Mix is a balanced diet designed for rearing or supplementing grain-eating (granivorous) birds such as parrots, cockatoos, finches, doves, pigeons and quail.

Granivorous birds obtain most of their energy from the complex carbohydrates in seeds and grains. In the wild, they also consume fresh green seeds, fruits, plant material and some insects. In captivity, many birds are fed mainly dry seed diets, which can be low in essential nutrients. Wombaroo Granivore Rearing Mix provides the additional protein, fats, vitamins and minerals needed for optimum health, particularly during breeding and chick-rearing seasons.

Key Benefits:

• Ideal for Hand-Rearing: Elevated levels of protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals for improved chick health and growth.

• Supplement for Breeding Birds: Supports the increased nutritional demands of breeding adults.

• Nutritional Support: Can be used as an assist-feeding formula for young, sick or malnourished birds.

Directions for Use:
Feed as a complete diet for hand-rearing chicks, or as a supplement for adult birds.

• Hand Rearing: Mix the powder with warm water to form a slurry suitable for spoon or crop feeding. Follow the directions on the pack.

• Fruit & Veg Mix: Combine 1 scoop (7.5g) of powder with 20g of diced fruit or vegetables. Suitable for parrots, pigeons and frugivores.

• Egg Food: Mix 2 scoops (15g) of powder with 1 mashed hard-boiled egg. Ideal for canaries, finches and breeding birds.

Ingredients:
Processed cereals and vegetables, soy protein, whey protein, maltodextrin, glucose, lysine, methionine, mannan oligosaccharides, beta-glucans, vegetable oils, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, taurine, carotenoids, vitamins and minerals.

• Complete live food replacement.

• Total small bird nutrition in a highly digestible extruded crumble.
• Contains the balanced nutrition necessary for finches, canaries and budgies.
• Eliminates seed and hull waste leaving aviaries and cages cleaner.
• Promotes better feathering and colouration.
• High energy/protein ration and balanced amino acid profiles for better growth.
• Improves fertility and chick rearing.Birds develop better body condition.

Directions:
For conversion from seed if gradual, mix 50:50 seed to crumbles. Allow all seed to be eaten before adding more mix. Birds should be consuming the crumbles within 3-4 days. Once crumbles are being eaten, eliminate seed.

Conversion may be sudden, simply remove all seed and replace with crumbles. Ensure familiar feed dishes and feeding locations are retained. Birds may appear fluffed for 2-3 days while their systems adjust but should return to normal within a week.

For soft feeding add hot water to a small amount of crumbles, stir and supply in place of normal soft foods. As birds take to this food, decrease the water added and begin reducing the amount of seed supplied. Birds will convert shortly.

Water must be available at all times as birds on Finch Crumbles consume more water than seed eating birds. (Allow for extra water consumption when using in-water medications).

Nutricore provides exceptional nutritional balance, supporting optimal growth, feather development and immune function for baby birds. 

Ideal formula from hatching to weaning. 

Contains 13 vitamins and mineral, 9 strains of good bacteria and 7 digestive enzymes.

Veterinary formulated for optimal growth and development.

DIRECTIONS:

Please note: The below directions are a guide only. If babies' crops are emptying faster than normal, add slightly more Nutricore formula to your mix. If babies' crops are emptying slowly, slightly more water can be added for a thinner consistency.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Always ensure food is fed to babies at a temperature of between 38-41°C.
Never reuse a premixed batch of formula from a previous feed. Mix Nutricore fresh every feed.
Always ensure feeding utensils are thoroughly cleaned and sterilised between feeds.
Always weigh your babies at the beginning of each day before their first feed to ensure they are gaining weight. 
Always mix well to achieve a uniform consistency, cool to feeding temperature (38-41°C) and feed fresh to babies.

NEONATE FEEDING RECOMMENDATION (HATCHING TO DAY 5) 
Feed a combination of Spark Liquid and Synbiotic solution only, for the first 24 hours or until your baby passes the meconium (first dropping). After the first dropping, mix 1 heaped teaspoon of Nutricore with 5 teaspoons of hot, pre-boiled water to make a very thin solution, then feed this solution for the next 24 hours. This solution can be gradually thickened over the following 3 days until the Standard feeding dilution is achieved as outlined below.

STANDARD FEEDING RECOMMENDATION (BABIES OVER 5 DAYS) 
Mix 1 heaped teaspoon of Nutricore Hand Rearing Formula with 3 teaspoons of hot, pre-boiled water. This consistency will be used from day 5 through to when the bird weans onto an adult diet.

TRANSITION FEEDING  
A Nutricore mix of very thin consistency should be fed to babies for at least the first 24 hours when transitioning from another brand of formula or when pulling babies older than 5 days from the nest for hand raising. This is to ensure babies remain hydrated and allows a period for adjustment to the new diet. The recommendation for this transition period is 1 heaped teaspoon of Nutricore with 5 teaspoons of hot, pre-boiled water.
