Egluntyne Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yes, they will need chick grit. Usually available at agricultural shops or via ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiew7103 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 When do i change it to normal grit? I presume chich grit is smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 yes chck grit is diddy, you need so little that ebay is a good place to get it as they do small amounts, budgie grit from the pet shop is much the same thing I move mine on to growers grit at 6 weeks then normal grit at 12 weeks or you can just go straight to normal grit at about 8 to 10 weeks but make sure it doesnt have seashells in it until they reach 22 weeks or so as the extra calcium isnt good for them when they are young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
