(If your tap water contains bacteria, the     use of boiled or bottled water is recommended.)\u003cbr\u003e    2. Mix formula thoroughly and allow it to sit for one minute.\u003cbr\u003e    3. Cool mixture to 105°F (or between 102° - 110°F). Mixture should     have the consistency of thick creamy pudding.

Discard and mix fresh at each     feeding.\u003cbr\u003e    For hatch to 2 days old - formula should be made in small quantities and thoroughly     stirred before feeding. Separation should be expected and is not a problem at     this early stage because primary requirements are for water and water soluble     nutrients. After chick is two days old, the food concentration must be increased     (see feeding chart).\u003cbr\u003e    Microwaving should be avoided. Microwaving can create \"hot spots\"     in the formula and increase the likelihood of accidental crop burns. If required,     limit microwaving (on high) to no more than 5 seconds per 1\/2 cup of mixed formula     at a time. Be sure to follow this with vigorous stirring before retesting the     temperature and feeding. Cover large batches of formula while microwaving to     avoid a moisture loss.

This prevents any food remaining too long in the crop and     possibly spoiling. If the time between crop emptying suddenly increases, and     the crop appears to be slowing down, observe the chick closely. See \"IMPORTANT     NOTES\" regarding crop-slow down.\u003cbr\u003e    1. Feed mixture with a clean, disinfected syringe, spoon, tube, or other comfortable     method. A separate implement should be used for each baby to prevent spread     of disease.\u003cbr\u003e    2. Dispense food along with the chick's feeding response (rhythmic bobbing motion).     This is more natural and decreases the likelihood of formula being inhaled.\u003cbr\u003e    3. Feed until the chick's crop is nicely rounded or it refuses any more food,     whichever comes first. Do not overfeed or regurgitation may occur. Generally,     each meal should consist of a volume equivalent to 10-12% of the bird's body     weight.\u003cbr\u003e    4. Clean and sanitize feeding equipment after use. Clean any spilled food from     the chick and change bedding after each feeding. Good hygiene is critical for     a baby bird's health. exact Hand Feeding Formulas are designed to be the only     food for baby birds. Additions to the diet may include fruits and vegetables     (such as strained baby foods) but should not exceed 20% of the total diet. Additional     vitamin or mineral supplements should not be added.\u003c\/inline\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cinline style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;\"\u003e     \u003cstrong\u003eWeaning Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    To encourage the weaning process, exact Conversion diets should be offered when     \"exploration\" begins. When the baby bird is fully feathered, offer     exact Conversion diet, or an adult daily diet of exact Natural food or exact     Rainbow food in a clean food cup, in addition to routine hand feeding. The baby     bird will slowly begin to prefer these new forms of the food. Fresh water must     be provided at all times. Prolonged use of hand feeding formula beyond the normal     weaning age, or excessive feeding, may result in health concerns. A chick will     lose up to 10% of its body weight during weaning as it begins to eat on its     own. Birds wean easily onto exact Conversion diets or exact adult daily diets     because of compatible taste and ingredients.\u003c\/inline\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cinline style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;\"\u003e     \u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring A Hand Fed Baby Bird\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Monitoring weight gain and loss is the best way to identify a problem before     it becomes visibly obvious. Weigh and record the weight of each baby bird every     morning before the first feeding.\u003cbr\u003e    A healthy chick should gain weight every day until it begins the weaning process.     If weight gain stops, but weight is maintained, watch the bird closely. Loss     of weight indicates a problem and should be investigated immediately. Contact     your avian veterinarian for more information.\u003cbr\u003e    An otherwise healthy bird may not gain weight if it is not receiving enough     nutrients. This could happen if the hand feeding formula is mixed too thin (contains     too much water); if the formula is diluted with other ingredients; if the bird     is not fed enough; or if it does not get enough food at each feeding.\u003c\/inline\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cinline style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;\"\u003e     \u003cstrong\u003eImportant Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Diet Change: For babies previously fed another hand feeding preparation, including     any other exact Hand Feeding Formula, a minimum of 24 to 48 hours is recommended     for the dietary changes. During this period, both products should be prepared     separately (as directed) and mixed together, with the exact Hand Feeding Formula     slowly being increased in proportion until the previous diet has been eliminated.     An immediate conversion to exact Hand Feeding Formula may cause crop slow-down     due to the dietary change. Use a more dilute formula the first couple of feedings     in an attempt to prevent this.\u003cbr\u003e    Crop Slow-Down: If crop slow-down should occur, first check for proper environmental     temperature as this is a frequent cause of crop problems. Then, mix equal parts     of exact Hand Feeding Formula and infant applesauce, or provide additional water     by preparing exact at the ratio of one part exact food to two or three parts     water. Provide this mixture for approximately 24 hours and then slowly return     to the normal concentration of exact food over an additional 24-hour period.     During this time, massage the chick's crop gently to break up any food aggregates     that may develop. NEVER massage the crop when it is more than half full. Allow     the crop to empty before feeding again. This method will quickly allow the gastrointestinal     tract to stabilize and become fully functional again. The appearance of dark     green droppings in a hand fed baby may indicate a temporary shut-down of crop     emptying (or the lack of food in the digestive system). If this occurs and the     crop contains food, the rate of crop emptying should be immediately evaluated.     If no improvement is noted within 36 hours, professional assistance is advised.\u003c\/inline\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWARNINGS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cinline style=\"font-family: Georgia; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergen   Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e   \u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003eManufactured in a facility that processes peanuts and tree nuts.\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eNot intended for human consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e    A naturally preserved product needs special attention to maintain maximum freshness.
