I was doing food prep tonight and thought it would be fun to post what we feed the other animals in the house. Our diets are based on hundreds of hours of personal research and a belief in species-appropriate diets, but please do your own research before choosing what to feed your animals, especially if you are responsible for "exotic" pets. I don't feed "table scraps" but much of what I feed is purchased and prepared at home, paired with what are in my opinion high-quality commercial foods when necessary.
Making this its own thread because if you click on the "Our Pack" thread for images of my other pets, I don't want to bore you stiff with diet stuff!
