#2 Grit Size

The rough and tough surfaces enables the gizzard to cut up shavings, feathers and other fibrous materials that can clog up the digestive tract. The whiteness of grit with contrasting black sparkling mica attracts birds to eat all they require. Continuous feeding of grit also helps prevent digestive disturbances, diarrhea, cannibalism, crop bound conditions, and certain forms of paralysis. After passing through the digestive tract, grit exercises and strengthens the organs, removing mucus and lessening the chance of disease germs being established.
