Question 1

What's the difference between the mash and the pellets?  And which one would be best to use when converting my budgies from seed, the mash or pellet?

Accepted Answer

The mash has a cornmeal-like consistency; it is ground rather than pelletized. The super-fine pellets are about the size of small seeds. I am far from expert, but I would think the pellets would be more like the seed they're currently eating. Our vet suggested mixing the super-fine pellets 50/50 with high-quality seeds to transition our 2 young budgies. That was a couple of months ago, and mostly they still pick around the pellets to eat the seed--but we will not give up!

Question 3

Is this fine or super fine? The image shows super fine but there’s nothing noted in the text what type?

Accepted Answer

It is Super Fine. You can tell by the white text on the label.
Amazon, in their infinite wisdom has decided that the term "Super Fine" is offensive and will not let us use that in product descriptions. It is an utterly absurd situation that they have created - and they absolutely will not budge. So yes, it is Super Fine. Apologies for any confusion created by this..

Question 4

How long can the bag last if not open if I bout more than one and use only one per month.

Accepted Answer

There is a 'Use Before' date stamped on the bottom of each package. I only go through one per month also, and I have 3 bags currently "in stock".  The one I just received with my Subscribe & Save shipment was dated 'Use Before Dec 2022' so I know it's okay unopened until then.  Hope this helps!
