    Opinions on Goldenfeast Australian Blend

    Hello- A while back the local pet store ran out of the superfine pellets that my elderly diamond dove was on, and so I tried Goldenfeast Australian Blend thinking it would just be temporary until the pellets were back in stock. That was about a year ago. My dove used to just sit in her nest all...

    First try on sprouted seeds :)

    Hello everyone! I have recently tried sprouting seeds for Finn, as I've been wanting to make his diet a little diverse. Now, I do have some questions that may be a little basic, but I just want to be sure. How do you store the seeds? Does it need to be a container with a lid, or not? Also, my...
