ZuPreem AvianMaintenance is an extruded diet, which means that it is more thoroughly cooked than a traditional pelleted diet. The premium ingredients in ZuPreem are cooked to increase digestibility, allowing more nutrients to be utilized by your pet bird. Each nugget of ZuPreem AvianMaintenance is made from the same formula.
Since 1968, ZuPreem diets have provided exotic animal professionals and enthusiasts with nutritionally complete diets for exotic animals. ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural is a nutritious diet designed to meet all the established nutrient requirements of various types of pet birds. Formulated by a veterinarian and Ph.D. nutritionist, ZuPreem AvianMaintenance combines the highest quality ingredients with strict standards of quality control to ensure that your bird receives the highest quality nutrition.
The same quality nutrition found in ZuPreem AvianMaintenance Natural is available in colorful fruit shaped nuggets in ZuPreem AvianMaintenance FruitBlend.
Feeding Directions/Converting Your Bird to ZuPreem AvianMaintenance: ZuPreem AvianMaintenance is formulated to be fed as the bird's sole diet. If other food items are fed, ensure that at least 80% of the food the bird actually consumes is ZuPreem AvianMaintenance. Supplementation of ZuPreem AvianMaintenance with vitamin or mineral supplements is not recommended and may be harmful to your bird's health. ZuPreem AvianMaintenance is designed to be fed free choice. Ensure that your bird always has food in its cup, and that it always has a source of fresh clean water. A typical bird's food consumption will be approximately 20% of its body weight per day, but feed the diet to maintain good body mass avoiding thinness or obesity. If the diet is moistened or becomes wet, make sure that the moist diet remains in the cage no longer than four hours.
If your bird normally eats an extruded or pelleted diet or has not established fixed eating habits, you can convert your bird to ZuPreem AvianMaintenance by simply substituting ZuPreem AvianMaintenance for the previous diet. If your bird refuses to changes diets or begins to lose weight, return to the bird's previous diet and convert the bird in the following method. Mix ZuPreem AvianMaintenance with its present diet, slowly increasing the proportion of ZuPreem AvianMaintenance and decreasing the proportion of its present diet over the course of four weeks. You can improve your bird's acceptance of ZuPreem AvianMaintenance by adding diluted fruit juice to the diet. You should monitor the condition of your bird's droppings to ensure that they are well formed. The color of the droppings may change as a result of the dietary change.
Storage Instructions: Store ZuPreem AvianMaintenance in a cool, dry place. Reseal the package between feedings. Freezing will extend this diet's freshness.
