MLFAS Gould-Granules™ - 1 lb

Hand mixed for just the right consistency for finches, our Gould-Granules Grit Mix contains supplemental calcium, trace minerals, and just a touch of charcoal to maintain a healthy digestive tract in finches.

Delivers both soluble and insoluble forms of grit. Adds supplemental calcium. Charcoal acts as a toxin absorbent. Diatomaceous Earth deters internal and external parasites. Sand aids in digestion.

While there is some controversy about whether to feed grit or not, and what kind to feed, we have found through our own research grit is an essential part of a finches dietary intake. Necropsy results from both healthy and diseased gizzards show trace amounts of both soluble and insoluble grit inside. It is our humble opinion that if the birds didn't need it from time to time, they wouldn't eat it!

Research this topic on your own before making a decision as to whether you feel they actually need grit or not!

Contents: fine cleaned river sand, diatomaceous earth, cleaned crushed egg shell, oyster shell, crushed and shaved cuttlebone, trace minerals, charcoal.

DIRECTIONS:

Feed free choice - typical consumption is 1 tsp per day per cage. During the breeding and moltin seasons, birds may ingest more - do not limit their intake. Change daily to avoid humidity absorption which can allow grit to harbor bacteria.

***Color may vary due to mineral content of sand
