🥣 Feeding & Usage Guidelines
Intended for supplemental and treat feeding only; fruit treats should represent no more than 10% of your pet's daily nutritional intake. Offer whole or crushed pieces directly from the bag as an interactive training reward or foraging treat. For smaller birds and pocket pets, crumble into bite-sized morsels over fresh chop, sprouted seeds, daily extruded pellets, or fresh meadow hay. To rehydrate, submerge in a small dish of clean water for 30 seconds until soft and succulent. Remove rehydrated fruit after 4 hours to maintain clean cage hygiene. Seal pouch firmly after use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
