Roudybush Handfeeding Formula 3

Hand-feeding formula is easy to prepare - just add water. Formula is necessary for handfeeding baby birds. Even if handfeeding was not your plan, having formula on hand is advisable in the event that the parent birds are unable to feed their young. Roudybush developed their formula with all the necessary nutrients to ensure your babies develop at a healthy rate.

• Vitamin and mineral fortified for better health and nutrition - no supplements necessary
• Easy-mix handfeeding formula for all experience levels
• Ideal for granivorous species (seed-and-grain-eating birds), not recommended for insectivorous species (insect-eating birds)
• No added sugars or colors
• For seed and grain-eating birds from hatching and squab over 1- 2 weeks of age

Feeding Directions

Start hatchlings on a dilute diet of about 10% formula, 90% water (10% solids). Measurements are best made on a weight basis, most kitchen scales will suffice for this.

Volume measurements can be variable and may lead to uneven and slow growth. If volume measurements must be used, assume that 1 cup of water = 250 grams, and 1 cup of loosely packed Formula 3 = 100 grams. With this knowledge, ¼ cup Formula 3 in 1 cup water is about 10% solids.

As chicks get older, gradually thicken the formula. Different species will require higher percent solids at different ages. Mix dry formula into warm water and feed as soon as possible (at about 105°F).

Make fresh formula at each feeding. Never feed leftovers. Do not supplement with vitamins or minerals.

Feed chicks at regular intervals during a 16-hour period each day. Time feedings such that the crop is almost empty at the time of the next meal. Fill the crop at each feeding.

Storage Instructions
