Vetafarm Wild Earth Wet & Dry Lorikeet Diet 450g

Vetafarm Wild Earth Lorikeet Diet: Vet-Formulated Wet & Dry Complete Diet

Vetafarm Wild Earth is a complete diet for lorikeets that can be fed wet or dry, formulated by avian veterinarians and nutritionists to replicate the pollen, fruit and nectar diet these birds eat in the wild. It is a fine, powdered formula with a sweet blueberry aroma, made fresh in Australia using quality ingredients including eucalyptus bee pollen, blueberry, dates and low-GI carbohydrates, along with balanced vitamins, minerals and organic acids.

The clever part is the dual texture. Fed dry, straight from the bag, the powder mirrors natural pollen. Mixed with water, it takes on the consistency of flower nectar. This lets you feed it whichever way your lorikeets prefer, or offer both, which suits their natural feeding style and keeps fussy birds interested. Fed as the main diet, it should make up around 80% of your bird's intake, with the rest from fresh fruit and vegetables.

A key point that sets Wild Earth apart is that it is a low-sugar diet, formulated to help lorikeets maintain a healthy weight rather than loading them with the sugars found in many nectar mixes. The added prebiotic chicory root extract (inulin) also supports healthy digestion, making it a well-rounded, considered choice for pet lorikeets.

Feeding Guide

Feed Wild Earth as your lorikeet's main diet, making up about 80% of daily intake, with the remaining 15 to 20% from fresh fruit and vegetables. As a guide, feed a minimum of around 10% of the bird's body weight per day, so a 100g lorikeet needs a minimum of about 10g daily.

To feed dry, simply make it freely available straight from the bag. To feed wet, combine 3 level tablespoons of Wild Earth with 4 tablespoons of warm water and mix well with a fork until smooth. Any wet mix must be changed at least every 24 hours, and more often in hot weather, as it spoils quickly. Always provide fresh, clean water, and store the pack sealed in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
