lorelei0922 2 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 we feed 90% whole prey and supermarket meats... Rabbit makes up most of the diet, with pigeon, duck, pheasant, chicken, mince, and other off cuts our butcher might have kept back for us... on rare occassions we do feed a dry kibble called Vitalin... good protein level and minimal smelly output compared to other dry kibbles. This is used when the flies just get TOO bad, day 5 of that camping trip and the rabbit's gone off or if i have a poorly ferret that needs to firm up their stools, kibble will do the trick generally within 24hrs...
