Vetafarm Nectar Pellets Low Sugar Complete Diet for Lorikeets 350g

Vetafarm Nectar Pellets: Low-Sugar Complete Diet for Lorikeets & Loris

Vetafarm Nectar Pellets are a low-sugar, complete pelleted diet designed for all lorikeets and loris. Formulated by avian veterinarians, they give nectar-feeding birds balanced nutrition in a dry, easy-to-serve pellet, taking the mess and hassle out of feeding these otherwise messy eaters.

The standout benefit is cleaner droppings. Lorikeets fed on wet nectar and fruit diets are known for runny, squirting droppings that foul cages and aviaries. Because Nectar Pellets are a dry, balanced diet, they help firm up droppings and dramatically cut down on the mess and constant cleaning that lorikeet keepers deal with. On top of that, the pellets don't spoil like liquid nectar, which must be changed several times a day in warm weather, so feeding is simpler and more hygienic.

Nutritionally, the pellets are built around whole grains with balanced vitamins, minerals and protein, and are kept low in sugar to help birds maintain a healthy weight rather than the sugar-heavy profile of many nectar mixes. Every pellet is the same, so birds get consistent, complete nutrition in each bite rather than picking and choosing.

Feeding Guide

Offer Nectar Pellets as the main diet, freely available in a clean, dry dish, and always provide plenty of fresh, clean drinking water alongside, as lorikeets drink more on a dry diet. You can also offer some fresh fruit and vegetables as a supplement for variety and enrichment. If you are switching birds from a wet nectar or fruit diet, introduce the pellets gradually so they learn to accept the new food, and store the pack sealed in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
