Food Dehydrator

I was thinking about buying a Nesco Food Dehydrator to keep all my Greys food fresh and Healthy. Has anyone done this.

I borrowed a dehydrator from my in-laws and dehydrated some bananas and apples. Gina loves the dried bananas but won't touch fresh ones. I guess it's they crunch, she doesn't like messy foods. I feel it's a good idea, because you can always keep some of the fruit on hand without having to worry about spoilage.<br><br>Post edited by: Number6, at: 2007/06/07 05:06

I've never tried this. Some of the premade food I buy has some dried fruits in it but my birds definitely still enjoy the fresh. So even if you buy one I would still give them fresh foods of some type each day, if that is posssible.

Hey bronxboomer,

 

I've never even HEARD of a food dehydrator! We're obviously very behind the times in the UK! I'd go along with what Moniques says though - Casper loves dried banana chips, but I think variety is the spice of a birds life - in the wild they'd be able to eat all sort of fresh food. I'd stick with the fresh stuff if its not too difficult for you to get hold of it,

I agree. The dehydrator is a good thing to have around, because you can process your own dried mixes, but you still should feed a variety of fresh fruits.
