so greys high potency forever ??

[Soo]

Yes that's right, Ammies only need to be on High Potecy for 6 months, this is because Ammies are prone to obesity, so don't need the higher fat content of the High Potency.

It all depends how you want to do it really, if you want them to have a little seed, with fruit and veg etc, then you can feed them all Lifetime

[Dusty1709]

Thanks Soo you have been a massive help xx ive ordered the high potency meantime just a small bag xx would like to use seed as a treat xx is that ok ??

[Soo]

You're welcome hun

Yeah, you should be fine to use a little seed as treats, but just monitor their weight, Harrison's are quite specific with the High Potency, they say no seed, only leafy veg, and meaty fruit, but you'll be in the process of converting, so they will still need some of their normal diet.

Count how many pellets you are putting in their bowl, and note it down. Then when you get home from work check to see how many have been eaten. Also check to see if there is any pellet waste

[Angie.]

Good luck

[geffsgrey]

Good Luck, let us know how you get on with the converting them to pellets.

Thanks
Im going to start at the weekend, i have purchased a small bag of harrisons high potency and hagens both kinds. Is that ok ??

[lizduncan]

That sounds great. Let us know how you get on 

[Rachel.]

am i using the right stuff then
ive got something that smells like bubble gum from 1985
Hagens Lifetime granules
i'm about half way there with converting him - thought i'd cracked it but then had a relapse
his tail feathers are looking abit dull and the ends look 'greasy' ??

[Nikki]

Hagens is fine Rachel and once he's on that you could maybe add a little Harrison's too for variety     Mine get a mix of Harrisons, Hagen and TOPS plus all their veg, fruit, pulses etc.  Thinking about Zupreem natural too? 

Good luck Pauline - you'll do fine   

[Dusty1709]

[Dusty1709]
