Coarse Sprouting Mix

Coarse Sprouting Mix

R50.43R82.83

A coarse sprouting mix to feed to parrots during spring and summer months.

Sprouting seeds and grains are an easy way to provide your parrot with fresh living food that is similar in nutritional profile to what they would be eating in the wild. Sprouts are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and protein. Sprout in small batches. Sprouts can be safely kept in a fridge for 2 days in a glass container. 

Suitable for: All Parrots. Sprout only in Spring / Summer

Exact varieties of seed, nuts, and other dry ingredients may change slightly due to seasonal availability.

Description

Directions for use: 

For full 500g mixture

  • Dilute ‘Safe-sprout’ sachet contents in 3L water (cool boiled water is preferable)
  • Add sprouting mix to water mixture
  • Water should cover the sprouting mix- as the legumes and seed will soak up the water.
  • Soak overnight (+/- 12hrs)
  • Rinse and drain the following morning until water runs clear.
  • A solution of 5ml Organic Apple Cider vinegar to 1L cold water can be used to rinse the Sprouting mixture. *Optional. DO NOT USE BLEACH/ JIK as these contain harmful salts.
  • Place sprout mix in sprouting container
  • Place in a dark space like grocery cupboard or fridge when climate is hot (remember- in nature seeds sprout underground)
  • Rinse again after 12 hrs.
  • The sprouting mix can be fed after the first 12 hrs soak or until ‘tails’ of seed appear.

Storage & Feeding:

  • Sprouts can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • For a medium sized parrot- I.e Congo African grey- we recommend 2 Tablespoons of Sprouting Mix / day.
  • A little goes a long way- when starting out- rather use less sprouting mix.

 

Recommendation: This is not a complete food and a selection of fresh vegetables, fruit, and legumes should still be provided. Please see our Articles’ section for recipes and ideas.

Storage:

  • Keep out of direct sunlight.
  • Once opened, keep the seed in a well-sealed container in the fridge.
  • Ensure no moisture gets in.
  • Our product is packed in 70mic sealed vacuum bags. BPA-free.
  • Sealed bags can be frozen for up to 3 months.

The Tooties are eating faster than we are getting stock in. We are experiencing delays in seed delivery from our supplier. We do aim to be re-stocked over the weekends.
