kiwibarb12 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Beckett really likes avi-cakes. Is it better to give him those than a seed based diet? How many should she get a day? Does anyone else give them to their TAG's or CAG's as the main base of their diet? I got the free sample of Harrisons pellets today - thank you for the post about the free sample - and I nibbled on one in front of Beck - she came over and tried to take it out of my hand. She was very cute - and actually ate it, so I may end up getting some and try to get her to eat that as the base. Interestingly enough - I liked them too! glad I don't have a cat any more - imagine eating cat food!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monique Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Pellets would be the best. I've never heard of avi-cakes. Are they intended to be a full diet? Who makes those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm with Monique, i have never heard of avi- cakes. What kind of product is it ? Do you have a run down of the ingredients ? If you want to get Beck to eat the pellets as her base diet and she is currently on a seed diet it is advised to wean her over to the pellets gradually ,Add a few pellets to her seed & each day decrease the seed & up the pellet amount.

lovemyGreys Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I have found a link on Avi -cakes for you guys to check out,I hadn't heard of then until today, They are made from 50% seed & 50% pellet held together by a molasses ! Molasses or treacle is a thick syrup by-product from the processing of the sugarcane or sugar beet into sugar. I would not recommend feeding as a whole meal as the site suggests but this is my personal opinion,i would use sparingly more as a treat.See what you guys think. http://www.lafeber.com/Products/avicakes.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monique Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I agree with xxbeccyxx and lovemygreys - good treat not a wholesome 100% diet, though. They sound like something that might be tastey for me to try I try all my birds foods. Even the fruity pellets taste like nuts to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
