It’s a cleaner option, particularly valued by fanciers who prioritise loft hygiene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it contain aniseed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — unlike Colombine Grit + Redstone, Neo-Grit does not include aniseed. It focuses on the core grit and mineral components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do pigeons need grit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePigeons have no teeth — they rely on grit in the gizzard to mechanically grind down grain and seeds. Without adequate grit, digestion is less efficient and birds may lose condition over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I replenish it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep it available at all times and replenish as needed. Pigeons consume more during breeding and moulting when mineral demands are higher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Versele-Laga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55641867092344,"sku":"C-5410340122211","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/6558\/2781\/files\/5410340122211pack.png?v=1787811126","url":"https:\/\/www.littlepeckers.co.uk\/products\/versele-laga-colombine-neo-grit-2-5kg","provider":"Little Peckers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
