It is the dry one. I hang it in the cage and they strip it bare in minutes, but the man I bought it from said not to give it often, but I would like to know why?? I know it is also in the seed that I feed them along with all sorts of other stuff.

mands - you can buy what ever you want and i hold nothing against you being for victoria. on a brighter note - your millet advise - was it for the green or dry spray. i;d say green but let me know

most likely he means it is used as a treat only - say a couple of times a week. i see no reason apart from the cost why you cannot feed it to them whenever you wish too.
i throw millet spray in every couple of days or daily with young. what you can do is soak it in warm water for 4 hours to soften it up and feed that way too.
