interesting perch
« on: May 05, 2014, 09:39:20 AM »

I was looking for a calcium and trace mineral supplement for chins with no to low salt.  All small mammal blocks are majority salt.  I found one site that sells little bird mineral blocks for chins.  Birds are as sensitive to salt and sugar as chins so I went hunting through bird mineral supplements.  I found these clam shell perches and ordered 2 to see how they liked them.

It's a big hit.  They haven't chewed on them a lot but they love to perch on them and sleep on them.





I also got a few of these but off amazon

They scrape at them some.  Especially the pregnant females and growing adolescents.
