Just one. Caitec Oven Fresh bites. I tried a variety (Harrisons, Roudybush, Tops, Intune) in many methods but both my birds readily eat this pellet. I will try again with Harrisons on a later date. I am just happy both eat pellets even if my vet would prefer a different type. Fresh food is eaten each day as well.
My vet told me he prefers I don't feed several types of pellet. States on one pellet they are getting full nutitional value of the pellet but when pellet brands are mixed then the bird may not be getting full nutional value of any one pellet type because all ingredients may not be in each pellet. He feels one doesn't know what one's bird is actually getting by mixing the pellets. He also recommends feeding a pellet that has been on market a long time like Harrisons, Zupreem or Kaybee. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of success converting to Harrisons. But will try again.
