Bam Bam 1053356     Purred: Sat Nov 7, '09 3:32pm PST  So I have 3 kitties and they're eating *gasp* dry Iams. Price is a huge deal for us. Hubby was just laid-off. However, I came across rodentpro.com and realized how cheap their frozen animals were! I could just thaw out a rat and put it in the blender! My question is, how many of them would my 3 cats need a day. Secondly, to just feed them that would still probably be too expensive. So would I be able to still keep their dry food out and give them, say, one rat (or rabbit) a day to share? I have a feeling Gomez wouldn't touch the stuff anyway. He's a 9-year old Persian and VERY stuck in his ways. Such a shame since Persians are more prone to health problms. *One more question: Is it possible for my cats to get rabies from eating a rodent (from rodentpro) with it? My cats don't get this shot. Getting a tumor from the rabies shot is far more common than getting rabies here. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Sprinkles NO I will NOT- shut up     Purred: Sat Nov 7, '09 3:34pm PST  Well a cat needs about 4 oz a day so you can just weigh the mice to see how much they will need. Mice is actually a complete diet for a cat, maybe include some feeder chicks as well. If you want some more in-depth answers, you can also take a look at the raw food forum. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Shadow Education is the- Key     Purred: Sat Nov 7, '09 8:30pm PST  Bam Bam you will have to ask the raw feeders here. I dont think that just feeding the mice is nutritonally complete, and I wouldnt go mixing dry and raw, as they digest at different rates and will cause stomach upset. Now if you were feeding canned and the mice that might be a different story. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

BK Ambassador at- the Kitty U.N.     Purred: Sun Nov 8, '09 5:00am PST  Actually, just feeding mice is probably the most nutritionally complete food you can give. But Shadow's right - I wouldn't feed dry with raw. The dry takes too long to digest. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]
