Hey everyone, it has been quite awhile. Life happened. Alot.

But I have been wanting to switch my green cheek to a pellet diet, and finally got the kitchen scale.

She currently weighs in at 64 grams as a 7 year old green cheek.

Now, my question.

How much should I be feeding her of roudybush per day? I don't want to waste too much if possible. I will be weighing her daily as well. 2 table spoons? 3?

It will depend on how much fresh food and other foods may be served daily. I free feed so my guys always have food available and are always given more than I know they will eat for the day, they get a great variety of both fresh foods and pellets (and seed mix for my cocky and budgie) and so far I do not have a tonne of waste but I do have some food to throw out each day (much to the delight of the dog and the wild birds).

This thread where Mizzely comments on the amount her Cheeky ate may be of help (post #2)... Pellet quantity and feeding question.
