Quite sure they eat the meat mix Tintola. Pretty sure we started with nestlings , much easier to adapt them on to different foods and part of the reason why we dont bring in any adults.

Mine were handraised from pin feather stage with that exact theory in mind but the little sh!ts still won't eat any mixes. Won't eat bees either!

Sounds like you missed the all important training phase Tintola. You need to catch a bee , place it carefully in your mouth and whack it on a stick repeatedly. This softens the bee and removes the sting. You just need to go the extra mile sometimes Tint.
I will ask a few more questions when im back next week. Maybe there was some info i missed but i think some pairs will just have a go if theyre keen.

Well I ain't doin that!
