WBS mix content
    #25627978 - 11/20/18 03:28 PM (6 years, 1 month ago)

I was wondering if, since I don't live in the US and we don't always have the same brands here, if this Wild Bird Seed mix is okay for general Cubensis use. Found at local supermarket so would be quite handy if it was.

Sunflower: 54%
Oats: 20%
Wheat: 12%
Peanut: 4%
Millet: 10%

I appreciate any help I get!

Where do you live approximately? Can you find rye, wheat or oats where you live?

Yeah that's not a great mix. Would it work? Probably. I've used a few different weird bird and animal food mixes with random pellets and corn and stuff and they've done all right for the most part.

Like Mateah said tho if you can find a single whole grain go with that. Much more predictable.

Barley is another one in addition to wheat/oats/rye. Boil water, cut heat, add barley, cover, wait 1 hour, drain, air dry 15 minutes, load, PC.

Scandinavia, I could probably get most grains although I might have to order them online. Not too big of a hassle but would be nice to be able to just drive to the local supermarket when I start to run low on supplies. I should be able to get ahold of oats however.

What would be the best single grain to use? Or are they all somewhat equal?

I personally don't buy the whole hate against sunflower seeds. There have been a couple of growers who've grown on straight sunflower seeds without problem.

Peanuts should be fine too, I think they hold a little less moisture, but with this low amount you'll still be fine.

If you're feeling paranoid you can always buy some feed for budgies to mix in. In my experience budgie feed contains a lot of millet, which is pretty good.

Sunflower because of their low density (floaters) ability to rehydrate and nutritional value.
Peanuts because they get smooshed and are mostly fat, also could make inspecting the jar harder. Imo

Me too :hatsoff:

Cant find grain anywhere in stores, so I order online from an organic farm. Rye and Wheat is what I've been working with mostly. I can describe to you how I personally perceive the difference between different grain I've been working with but in the end every type of grain will work if you make it work. Some are bigger, some are harder, some burst easier, some are little more nutritious. You just have to find your own headache to complain about grain, because you will at some point complain about some grain that's just part of this Hoobby :cheers:
