    Absolutely fine Andy.  Ask as many questions as you need to.

    Yes our Acox is similar to the Coxoid.  I know the dosage rates are the same.  

    The way to use Acox is to give it at least 3 weeks before breeding, at a rate of 6ml per 1 litre of water.  You give this for 1 week.

    If you have young birds showing symptoms of coccidiosis, then do the same as above, but if the symptoms persist, you can give Acox again for a 2nd week, but at half dose.  So either 3ml per 1 litre or 6ml per 2 litres.

    Even thought Zebra finches are small the dosage rate is still going to be the same.  If you deviate from the dilution, then you will make the product weaker (or stronger), and hence it will not help your bird.  The bird will drink what it needs, so will therefore get the right dosage rate.

    I hope this helps.

    There is definitely protein within our Feast product.  We use an animal source rather than a plan source for our protein. The reason being is that it contains a balance of amino acids which help with obesity and moulting in birds.

    If anyone wants a sample of Feast, just let me know your address (PM me) and I can send you some out.
    It doesn't have to be fed dry, you can add some moisture to it.  Either some veggies like grated carrot or even a little water would be fine.  If you already use an eggfood, then you may want to mix it 50:50 with your existing one so that your birds get used to it.

    I did read the other posts to the one that you did.  It is fantastic to hear that people are already using Feast.  Hopefully they will have the same results as other customers have had.

    I will answer some of the questions about the protein as well, so I think that will be of some benefit.

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm Charlotte, and I work at The Birdcare Company (some of you may have heard of us).

    I was contacted by Andy Nethercott just recently regarding Coccidia in Zebra Finches.

    I gave him my answer, which I believe he has posted on the forum just recently.

    My reason for joining is that if anyone would like to ask questions about Coccidia or any other ailments they may have in their birds I am here.

    Best regards,

    Charlotte Doheny,
    Senior Advisor @ The Birdcare Company
