The short answer

Yes — plain cooked egg is a great occasional protein boost. Never feed it raw.

Why

Cooked egg is an excellent source of protein and amino acids, especially helpful during moulting or breeding. It must be cooked (hard-boiled or plain-scrambled with no oil, salt or milk); raw egg carries a salmonella risk.

How to feed it

Offer a small piece of hard-boiled or plain-scrambled egg and remove it after a couple of hours. You can also crush and bake the eggshell and sprinkle it on food for a calcium boost.

How much & how often

A small amount 1–2 times a week.
