Fresh soft food and insect portions

- 01
Choose
Match the species, breeding stage and exact food. A complete-food claim for insectivorous birds is not automatically a complete-finch-food claim.
- 02
Prepare
Follow the product’s dry, moistening or hydration instructions. Use clean tools and avoid leaving wet food standing for long periods.
- 03
Replace
Offer manageable fresh portions and remove leftovers before spoilage. Keep live-food cultures and feeding tools hygienic.
The illustration shows food types, not a universal recipe, fixed insect count or hand-feeding instruction.
- What it provides
- Complementary food intended for mixing with egg food during breeding and moult; not a pure protein isolate.
- When to consider it
- Use as a measured part of the species’ complete daily ration; select for life stage and actual intake.
- Intended birds / scope
- Ornamental birds during breeding and moult, mixed into CéDé eggfood; a complementary food, not pure protein.
- How it is given
- In a clean feeding dish; oral feeding by the birds.
- Frequency / duration
- Manufacturer identifies breeding and moult; frequency and amount must match the current pack and whole ration.
- Preparation
- Mix evenly into the selected eggfood. The checked manufacturer page gives no numerical inclusion ratio; obtain the matching pack directions.
- Combining products
- Count existing vitamins, minerals and other rich foods before adding premixes. Record dry ingredients and added water separately.
- Storage & handling
- Reseal the dry stock; store cool and dry as labelled. Make small fresh moist batches, discard uneaten moist food daily and sooner if warm or soiled.
- Breeder tips
- Introduce before breeding; confirm that each bird eats it. A filled dish is not proof of consumption. Keep fresh drinking water available daily.

Use & compatibility notes
Count protein and fortification across the final mixture; adding more products does not automatically improve balance.
