| In order to maintain their rich red plumage or scales, red-factor canaries and some reptiles must be fed foods rich in beta-carotene, or a supplement of Canthaxanthin to maintain their best color. However, for canaries, color feeding is only required when new feathers are growing in - usually during the molt. Canthaxanthin is fed just prior to and during the entire molt to enhance the red coloring in the new feathers. NOTE: Canthaxanthin should be FED TO RED FACTOR CANARIES ONLY, and is not recommended for canaries of other types or color or other birds. |
