hi, so my Quaker is currently 2 months old.

he has yet to wean but i'm starting to feed vege chop in the morning and some pellets and he's still on 2X handfeeding a day.

so as my title says, is it too early for him to start on multivitamins? i've bought some "unruflledrx featherup! bird multivitamin" hoping to keep his feathers nice...

am i jumping the gun too much?

AS far as im aware, if your bird has a proper and full diet, (veggies, grains calcium etc) , you shouldn't use vitamins unless advised by a vet. Hoping you'll get some other responses faster though. Until then don't give him anything just incase :)

Pellets and formula already have vitamins added. Giving a multivitamin on top of that can actually cause issues as some vitamins can be overdosed.
