Fresh Gumnuts (500g) – Drilled or Un-drilled
$15.00 – $26.00 (inc GST)
A pack of 500 grams of fresh Gumnuts, perfect to give to your bird to chew and eat. Put them in a Baffle Cage, thread onto wire or a skewer (drilled options) or simply put in your birds’ foraging tray or bowl.
The Gumnuts are picked fresh and may be green to brown or grey in colour. The cup of each Gumnut is manually cleaned, they are drilled (if selected) and briefly soaked in a solution of F10 veterinary disinfectant before being lightly dried in the sun. This dries the surface of the Gumnut from being cleaned, but does not dry out the entire Gumnut. I check the Gumnuts for issues or parasites before sending. These are natural seed pods and some may have small amounts of natural scarring or small insect bites/holes on the outside.
Gumnuts are fresh and therefore moist inside. They should be used soon after receiving and are not suitable to be stored for later use. You can keep them in the fridge to last a little longer and smaller pack sizes are available. If you are in a remote area or Western Australia, please consider selecting express post, to maximise freshness, as standard or courier postage can take 10 business days or more to these locations.

Description
These seed pods are seasonally available and depend on local sources. They may also be from various trees so might be different in size and colour to each other. Once you place your order, I collect and prepare them fresh – they are never ‘in stock’, ready to be sent. I will contact you if there are any issues with supply at the time (eg if you order more than I can obtain or if poor weather delays collection significantly). Your order will contain a pack of Gumnuts that are washed and surface dry. I weigh out your 500 grams soon after collecting them and keep your batch separate while preparing them. Particularly if you choose for holes to be drilled in the Gumnuts, the final weight of your Gumnut order may be less than 500 grams due to weight lost from the drill holes and from the light sun dry.

Great gumnuts! I bought these because they came with the custom natural ladder and I noticed Charlie (a cockatiel) loves to chew on the gumnuts so I bought a packet of these to put in the foraging playground to make it more natural for him and fun. Great buy because I’m too lazy to go out and forage them myself :p
