Shep's Lori-Wet Lorikeet Food: Premium Wet Nectar Mix for Lorikeets & Honeyeaters

Shep's Lori-Wet is a powdered wet food, or "nectar," for pet and wild lorikeets, lories and honeyeaters. You simply add hot water to turn the powder into a porridge-like nectar that lorikeets take to readily. It gives them a balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, along with vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids, in a quick, easy and good-value feed. It's Australian made and owned, and made with all-natural ingredients.

Shep's has been refining this recipe since 1988, when two separate nectar diets, one for larger lorikeets like rainbows and scaly-breasteds and one for smaller varieties, were combined into a single formula. It's built on highly digestible ingredients such as baby rice cereal, whole egg powder and skim milk powder, and was tested on some of the most delicate Australian lorikeets, including the purple-crowned, through years of hand-rearing for the pet industry. The recipe also deliberately leaves out soy, soy-related products and whey powder, which can be harder for lorikeets to digest.

Ingredients

Baby cereal, glucose, biscuit base, whole egg powder, bread crumbs, rice flour, skim milk powder, Weet-Bix, rolled oats and raw sugar. All-natural, with no soy or whey.

How to Feed

Mix 1 part Lori-Wet with about 3 parts hot water, stir well, and let it cool to a safe temperature before offering it to your birds. Serve it as a porridge or nectar. Because it's a fresh wet food, discard any uneaten portion after about 2 hours, particularly in warm weather, and always serve in clean dishes. For a complete diet, feed Lori-Wet alongside Shep's Lori-Dry and fresh fruit and vegetables. It can be offered at any time, and it's also a great way to attract wild lorikeets and honeyeaters to your garden.
