Additional advice
- Divide the “Feed quantity per day” over at least two feeding moments per day.
- The supplements should be given according to the appropriate dosage that is mentioned on the labelling.
- Although present in their natural diets, feeding fruits might lead to abnormal fermentation in the hindgut because of high sugar levels in cultivated fruits compared to wild fruits (read more about nutritional values of (wild) fruits and vegetables).
- Stimulate foraging behaviour by stacking, hanging or hiding the feed (read more about feed enrichment and foraging behaviour).
