Bought some veta farm breeding aid today mostly bcoz my girl gould has gone all vulture on me again and thought it may help , that and having her tubes tied :roll: anyhoo it says to rub it into the seed (done it ) my question is ...Is this a daily task or can I do enough to fill the hoppers which get topped up every couple of days .
It is mostly omega 3 oils and some vitamins / minerals , will it go off in the hopper ?

I think its used like Cod Liver Oil, once a week in the seed till eaten. Graham Bull uses it, & I think he alternates between this and Cod Liver each week during the colder months & peak breeding season.

The oil might make the seed stick to the sides of the hoppers too. Will need to check the seed flows easily.

when I use cod liver oil, I use an open dish, easier to clean, and I only feed what is able to be eaten in one day.

I haven't used breeding aid, but I would imagine this still applies.
