Feeding Guide

Offer unshelled peanuts as a supplementary treat rather than a complete diet.

For birds and poultry, provide an appropriate amount alongside their normal species-specific feed. For small animals, only offer peanuts where they are appropriate for that species.

The 20kg bag is particularly useful for larger flocks, regular bird feeding or high-volume feeding.

Always provide appropriate fresh, clean drinking water.

Storage

Store peanuts in their shells in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and pests. Keep the bag sealed when not in use to help maintain freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can birds eat peanuts in the shell?
Many bird species can eat peanuts in the shell. The whole peanut also provides an opportunity for natural food manipulation and foraging.

Can chickens eat peanuts in the shell?
Peanuts can be offered to chickens as an occasional supplementary treat, provided they are appropriate for the flock and not used as their main feed.

Why feed peanuts in the shell?
The shell makes feeding more interactive and encourages birds and other suitable animals to work at accessing the food, providing natural foraging enrichment.

Are unshelled peanuts suitable for small animals?
Some small animals can eat peanuts as an occasional treat, but suitability varies by species. Always ensure the animal's normal diet remains nutritionally appropriate.
