Phosphorus % 0.02 (Ingredients may be subject to change due to seasonal availability) Feeding recommendations Flamingo Crop Milk Replacer (FCMR) is a thick oily liquid with considerable sediment. Before mixing with water, the product should itself be thoroughly mixed. Mix an appropriate amount of FCMR with water on the basis of 1 part powder to 3 parts water. This will give an ~25% dry matter feed. Mixing with water is best accomplished by using a high speed kitchen blender. The mixture has been fed via a pipette and no difficulties were encountered in respect of the chick’s acceptance of the pipette as a source of food. Note: slowly dispense the milk replacer to fill the crop to a maximum of ~3/4 full. Do not allow over filling as impaction of the crop can occur. Feed FCMR frequently, recommended length in between feeds is a maximum of 3-4 hours. The amount of water addition to the FCMR will depend on mixing practicalities, equipment, the type and age of the bird, along with the state of hydration. Feed FCMR to sustain body weight growth and maintain hydration levels. Feed until they can be weaned onto more solid foodstuffs. (See Mazuri Flamingo Maintenance and Mazuri Flamingo Breeder).

As a guide for Aardvarks feed: For Maintenance feed 13g of powder/kg BW/d For Gestation feed 17g of powder/kg BW/d For Lactation feed 37g of powder/kg BW/d For Growth (for all species) we would recommend feeding ad-lib and monitor the growth rate. Growth rate requirements vary depending on the normal growth rate. Please note: as with all diets please feed to the condition of the animals. Additional Information Weaning Transition from a multi-component gruel diet to Termant at Marwell Wildlife for their Giant Anteaters took place over ~10 weeks. Initial weaning started with 5% replacement, increasing to 10% after a few days. Once animals were consuming diet well, subsequent weaning continued in approximately 25%, 50%, 75% &100% stages. Transition maybe achieved in a shorter time period. However, as with any diet change, it is not advised to attempt a 100% diet swap without first employing a weaning process.
