*******JUST ARRIVED - NEW IN STOCK*********

Petflox Pro10 is recommended and used by top European bird breeders.

Petflox Pro10 is an organic, odourless, non-toxic supplementary supplement and consists of a gel of natural algae in which oxygenated water is trapped.

Petflox Pro10 conditions the water, prevents bad bacteria and prevents the growth of viruses and fungi. Restores inflammation, prevents mucus formation, and purifies air organs. The good bacteria remain in the water.

By adding Petflox Pro10 to the drinking or living water, acidic water is released, and the drinking water remains clean of bacteria for 48 hours and the living water for 5 days.

Clean drinking water contains, directly from the tap, between 80% and 100% dissolved oxygen, depending on the temperature. When using Petflox Pro 10, the oxygen percentage decreases to almost 0% within a few hours, which is especially true for drinking water and partly depends on the temperature of the water and the living environment of your bird.

The warmer the water, the less oxygen. What remains is dead water in which life disappears due to lack of oxygen, there is no biological cleaning to keep the water clean.

You can prevent this process by administering Petflox Pro10 to your birds drinking water!

When Petflox Pro10 is administered in the drinking water, the oxygen is gradually released over a period of up to 5 days.

Petflox Pro10 is suitable for birds, fish, reptiles/amphibians.

Available in 250ml, 500ml & 1000ml
DOSAGE:
Fill the dosing syringe with 2ml of Pro10 and add it to 1 liter of water
250 ml you have 125 doses for 1 liter of drinking water
500 ml you have 250 doses for 1 liter of drinking water
1000 ml you have 500 doses for 1 liter of drinking water

COST:
250ml - £26.50
500ml - £49.00
1000ml – 87.00
Plus p&p £3.95

EXPIRY DATE:
After opening the bottle, Pro10 has a shelf life of up to six months

********JUST ARRIVED THE LATEST BOOK IN THE SERIES **********

NEW COLOURS - COLOURED CANARIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY
BY ANTONIO JAVIER SANZ

Volume 3.

Its not surprising that the author begins this book by opening the doors to the magic of colour canary breeding, for this is what has been going on from the middle of the 20th century to the present day. Pure magic for us all.

In this third volume of the collection COLOUR CANARIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY, the first mutations in the melanics of the coloured canaries are analysed, from the Pastel mutation, the first known and fixated, to the Satinet, through the fabulous Grey Winds, the Opal and the Phaeo.

We enter a new world where breeders dream of the different, the unseen. This is certainly why we talk about New Colours. As we have already explained in the book dedicated to the classic melanics, we call New Colours everything that has appeared since the Pastel mutation and that generally acts on what we call the basic types (that is, Black, Brown, Agate and Isabel).

Price including postage & packaging £53.95

https://essexbirdcentre.com/product/new-colours-by-antonio-javier-sanz-new-edition

Other books also available by Antonio Javier Sanz are:
Coloured Canaries / Lipochromes - Volume 1 / Classic Melanics - Volume 2 / Estrildid Finches - Asian, Oceanic and Australian Finches. The Goldfinch & its Mutations will be available when the new batch is published in September 2023.
