Animal Bytes: Got Questions?
I
am interested in what you feed your cats. What does “carnivore
diet” consist of? And can’t the rats you feed them
give them some sort of disease?
Carnivore diet consists mostly of ground beef and beef heart. It also contains additional amino acids, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.
The rats we use to feed many of our carnivores are purchased from a supplier who raises rats especially for laboratories and feeding zoo animals. Their health is important to the breeders and those that purchase the rats. Therefore, they are raised in a controlled environment, fed a nutritionally balanced diet, and given routine health checks by the supplier's veterinarian.
