Utopian Product Sales has been initiated to enable easier purchasing for the Avian community. These are specialised products to aid in avian management, such as the handrearing of avian subjects in this instance.
For sale is a
Handrearing formula warmer.
Do you handrear birds and have to reheat the formula a few times during the process?
Say goodbye to those days when you use a mug warmer to heat your formula.
The mug warmer is designed to keep your cuppa warm and so keeps the formula warm the same way.
With the mug warmer and a digital thermometer with probe you are all set to do the job safely. Digital thermometers are available on site.
Make your formula ready to feed out and place it on the warmer to keep it at the right temperature.
Always mix your formula from time to time and read a thermometer to ensure it's at the right temperature.
Many breeders are still handrearing at the wrong temperature and when things have gone wrong, phone around to get answers to why the chicks had died.
Here are some hints as to why it is so important to have the formula at the right temperature:
Food fed too cool.
Chicks that are fed food too cool are put at risk of slowing of the crop movement. This can and most of the time does, result in souring of the crop, after which follows crop impacting and gut stasis.
This condition is hard to correct if not recognised and left too long.
Food fed too hot.
Food fed too hot leads to burning of the crop. Due to the pain and stress caused the chicks often die. In cases when the chicks are older and do survive the burn forms a scab that falls off when the skin has healed leaving a hole in the crop. This always leads to an expensive operation, that is tough on the chick if they suvive and tough on the pocket.
These are two common scenarios with many after/side affects which are not even mentioned.
Just think about it for a moment!
You have looked after the parent birds for an extended time, now they have bred and you wish to handrear the young after the first 15 days or younger, only to run into major setbacks. Taking short cuts and saving money in the wrong area can be very costly.
Buy one and keep your handrearing formula at the right temperature.
Buy and save money - time & heart ache.
