DIRECTIONS

You can serve our chop dry or rehydrated.
We recommend adding 1:1 ratio of water to freeze dried chop if serving rehydrated. Simply mix well, drain excess water and serve.

Please note freeze dried chop will not expand dramatically after rehydration.

We recommend feeding our chop first thing in the morning as this will be when your bird is the hungriest and more likely to try new foods
