Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health Egg-Cite! Parakeet Food different?

Ans: This formula enhances the Nourish+Protect blend by adding dried whole egg, supplying additional high-quality protein and essential amino acids. Along with superfoods, prebiotics, probiotics, and omega-3s, it offers well-rounded nutrition tailored for breeding and molting parakeets.

Q2: Why does this food contain dried whole egg?

Ans: Dried whole egg offers a rich source of high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids. This extra protein is particularly helpful during breeding and molting, as parakeets require increased nutritional support to remain healthy and develop strong feathers.

Q3: Is the Egg-Cite! formula suitable for everyday feeding?

Ans: Yes. Although the added egg protein makes it particularly beneficial during breeding and molting, this is a comprehensive daily diet. It includes prebiotics, probiotics, flaxseed, and omega-3s to promote digestive, brain, heart, and feather health throughout the year.

Q4: Do the prebiotics and probiotics really support digestion?

Ans: Yes. Prebiotics and probiotics work together to support beneficial gut bacteria and a healthy, balanced gut microbiome. This combination promotes proper digestive health so your parakeet can absorb nutrients from every meal effectively and comfortably.

Q5: How much should I feed my parakeet each day?

Ans: Kaytee suggests giving 1 to 3 tablespoons daily per parakeet. Modify the amount to help maintain a healthy weight and when feeding multiple birds. Always remove uneaten food before each new feeding to ensure the diet stays fresh.

Q6: How do I switch my bird to this food safely?

Ans: Begin with a mixture of old and new food, gradually increasing the amount of new food over a 7- to 10-day period. This gradual transition prevents digestive upset and helps your parakeet adjust comfortably to the change.

Q7: Does this food support feathers and plumage?

Ans: Yes. The inclusion of egg protein and a nutrient blend helps support skin and feather health, resulting in more vibrant plumage. This is particularly beneficial during molting, when birds regrow feathers and require additional protein and amino acids.

Q8: How should I store the food to keep it fresh?

Ans: After opening the bag, remove air and reseal tightly, then use the food within 30 to 45 days. Store in a cool, dry location, and refrigerate or freeze for extended storage to maintain maximum freshness.
