	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.

	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.

	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.

	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.
