Has anyone noticed that red millet sprays are out-of-stock everywhere? I got some lovely fresh, "normal" millet sprays from the local pet shop but according to my lot, it's the wrong colour. Poor Lennie is moulting badly so the timing of the "Great Red Millet Disappearance of 2021" is pretty bad.

We are going along to a really good pet store this afternoon, so I just phoned and asked about red millet , they have plenty in stock and haven’t heard about any shortages . It is in packets though, is this what you mean…

It is in packets though, is this what you mean… I don't mind how it's packaged as long as it's sprays. I've never seen red millet sprays in a bricks & mortar pet store, so your one must be really good! I've managed to source some online but will have to pay double the usual price.

I managed to find some online at double normal price, which I have ordered. It will take a few days so hopefully Lennie will be strong enough to crack seeds by the time it arrives. He's only eating broccoli at the moment.

Sweat pea…..I would give anything for my Charlie to eat broccoli, or any veg would do. The only thing he will eat apart from his seed are a few of the herbs. I have been to the pet shop and he is very happy with his red millet . 🙂

Herbs are good too. And so is red millet. I hope he enjoys it.

sweetpea, I didn't know there might be a shortage but then I haven't ordered any for a while. I mostly just give it to mine when they are sick. When is your millet arriving? Is Lennie ok?

Millet ordered today so I guess it will take a few days to arrive. The red millet is out of stock at every online place I've bought it from in the past! Lennie is not good. He is moulting badly. He's not eating any seed but has had a little broccoli at intervals during the day. He's mostly slept today & I have put them to bed early tonight.

If I posted some, it probably wouldn't get to you before the stuff you ordered arrived.

Do you still wash the red millet ?

Yes I do, because it can be quite dusty. You can give it to them while it's wet if yours will eat it that way. Mine wont! Do you still wash the red millet ?
