Peanuts in their shells by Eric Schweizer
A natural snacking treat for parrots and larger pet birds: Eric Schweizer peanuts in their shells encourage mental stimulation, cracking behaviour and provide an energy-rich reward.
Peanuts in their shells by Eric Schweizer are a natural snack for parrots, larger parakeets and other pet birds. The nuts are ideal as a special treat, as a supplement to their daily feed or to provide exciting stimulation in a bird’s daily routine.
As the peanuts are still in their shells, the birds must first work at them and crack them open. This natural process of obtaining food encourages mental stimulation and can help prevent boredom. Parrots and larger parakeets in particular benefit from snacks that do not simply need to be eaten, but must be actively cracked open.
Peanuts are high in oil and energy. They should therefore be fed sparingly and used as a supplement to a balanced main diet.

Zoo Roco Tip
Hide individual peanuts in suitable enrichment toys or offer them specifically as a special treat. This turns the snack into a little challenge that stimulates the minds of parrots and larger parakeets and keeps them meaningfully occupied.
