Hiya,
Should I put some grit in my new cockateils cage?? Does it help with digestion or cause more problems?? She's 10 weeks old??

There are many ideas on this but, I will give you mine. I give my adult birds oystershell grit in their cages but would probably not give it to a youngster for a while yet. So long as her diet is good and she is not laying eggs there should be no need for it yet.
I'm sure that there will be others with different ideas so I stress that this is MY practice only

well i did put some in there following the advice of where I got her cage and accessories from but she's taken no interest in it at all just in the seed, thanks for that.

Do you keep a constant supply of seed in the cage or feed them at certain times in the day, i've also read that pellets are better than seed???

Pellets probably are better in terms of living longer - I use pellets sometimes but mine only eat them now and again.It is not easy to convert them to pellets. Mine look forward to their toast, rice or scrambled egg as a treat.

I feed twice a day but I give them enough to keep them rooting about for several hours. I don't throw it all away, I blow off the husks and there is usually plenty of seed left underneath.

Cocktiels take grit as and when they feel they need it but don't take large quantities of it.
As to feeding, I have food available at all times except for greens and fruits etc which I feed to them once or sometimes twice daily.
Pellets seem to be an acquired taste but a little of everything is not a bad idea - offer her some and see how it goes but remember that they can be wary of new things and may take some time to try them.
