After opening bag, remove air from package and reseal tightly. Use food within 30 - 45 days. Store in a cool, dry location. Refrigerate or freeze for extended storage.. Baby birds should be fed on a routine schedule allowing the chick's crop to empty (or nearly empty) between feedings and to determine if bird is being fed the right amount. This prevents any food remaining too long in the crop and possibly spoiling. If the time between crop emptying suddenly increases, and the crop appears to be slowing down, observe the chick closely. See "IMPORTANT NOTES" regarding crop-slow down. Safety Warning Allergen Information: Manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts and tree nuts. Not intended for human consumption.

You only mix a small amount each time but your frequency of use is great than mine. The babies birds seem to really like it, it smells of banana (get a handheld thermometer). Good luck **Q: Is it long expired date for kaytee ? Please mention** A: Yes, it lasted me through 3 rounds of breeding (approx. 12mths) **Q: How long will delivery be? when i go to check out it says over 2 weeks but on the dispatch it says within 2-3 days? any help on delivery times?** A: I think they just cover themselves against any delays. I got mine really quickly. **Q: R u still selling this with short expiry date?** A: Yes - Reduced - 18oz Tubs - Expiry 12th August 2022 * * * 5lb Bag - Expiry 12th August 2022 * * * 22lb Tubs - Expiry 6th July 2022 * * * An instant high nutrition formula with low bacteria levels, meaning a better developed baby bird. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job *by V***L on 24 April 2018* I feed this to my under weight hens who have been rescued , it encourages them to eat and they love it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exact..ly perfect an trusted *by A***C on 12 September 2026* Bird rescue...
