Feeding Bean Sprouts

[prrthead]

Hello Everyone,

I can finally say I have successfully sprouted different kinds of beans for Echo:) My question is, how often can I feed them to him? He really enjoyed them this evening and I want to continue if it is okay. Also, is there anything else you can mix with the sprouts for variety?

I would appreciate any and all feed back,thanks.

I don't see why you cannot offer them every day if you like and he enjoys them so much, maybe a different one every day as they are very nutritious.

 

You could scatter them over other chopped fresh veggies.

The only sprout I wouldn't use is alfalfa. Sunflower sprouts are very labor intensive, but are very good also.

Would you feed him pellets also in a separate bowl?

At breakfast he gets one bowl with pellets and one with fresh fruit. At dinner he could get more pellets in one bowl and the other with the vegs and sprouts;)

Mary I leave a bowl with pellets in Josey's cage all day for her to snack on any time she wants and that is all that goes in that bowl. I put her veggies and fruits in another and another bowl with a few seeds, legumes and nuts.

Thanks Judy that all sounds great. I'll have to pick up more bowls this weekend and start giving Echo that kind of variety too:)

I had to add a bowl to Josey's cage, it came with 3 bowls so I added one and used it for her pellets.:side:
