Re: Some general info on sprouting .. thought it might be helpful
If the sprouts have been left out all day, I wouldn't chance it. You might be better off taking the sprouts, and mixing them with a bit of their dry food in a separate bowl to get them started. That way, they'd have their normal bowl of dry food, and a bowl of their dry mixed with sprouts.

I give sprouts in the morning and and would like to just leave them in the bowls all day while I'm at work. Is that safe?? If that is OK to do, in the evening when the sprouts are completely dry, would it be safe to then add them to their regular food in the hopes that they will eat them that way? I don't know how to get these two to eat sprouts and I hate to just throw them out if it's OK to add them to their other food once dry...

Re: Some general info on sprouting .. thought it might be helpful
thank you for the tip about the ACV and GSE, I'll be using that when I rinse them just as a precaution..

Re: Some general info on sprouting .. thought it might be helpful
I LOVE SPROUTING!
My favorite sprout website is sproutpeople.org. They have great prices overall, and have instructional videos that you can click and watch to make sure you're doing things right.
AND THE BEST PART! They have a section for pets! Here is the link:
Sprouts for Animals
Check out those bird blends!
Also, here is my favorite sprouting device:
Easy Sprout Sprouter
Sprouting is easy, DELICIOUS, and so much fun! I encourage all to do it, whether for yourself or for your fids!

Re: Some general info on sprouting .. thought it might be helpful
I was at costco and found some organic sprouted mung, adzuki beans, and green lentils but they are dried i wasnt sure how to use these for my caique or sun conure. does anyone have any suggestions? Do i need to rehydrate them? can i offer them dry?
Thank you Cinnyluver for this awesome signature!

Re: Some general info on sprouting .. thought it might be helpful
I think either way would be fine, but I'd soak some for a little while to see what happens.

complexity and feeling we humans lay exclusive claim to.
