Questions & Answers

1 Customer Questions


Do I need to switch over to maintenance or can they always stay on starter?

Answer by ChewyDec 03, 2024
It is not recommended to keep ratites on the starter diet indefinitely. This feed is formulated for newly hatched emus until birds reach adult body weight or newly hatched ostrich chicks until approximately 90 days of age or until they reach a bodyweight of 70 lbs., whichever comes first. At that point they should be switched to a maintenance diet for mature ratites such as Mazuri Ratite Diet.

I was able to find food for my baby emu at chewy which is awesome. The price is super reasonable. I am just finishing my first bag of this feed. My emu definitely started growing faster on this feed. I'll be keeping him on it and then switching him to the adult variety when the time comes.
