Re: Neonate Food???

Hi Justin,

Just about any meat would do. I primarily feed mine strips of caribou meat, but beef works just as well. I'd stay away from hamburger, and be sure to trim as much fat off the strips as possible, particularily if you're using beef. There's plenty of fat within the tissues (intracellular lipids). You'll also need to add calcium and vitamin supplements once in a while (about every three weeks for a non-gravid adult). No matter which diet you choose, it's always good to offer a bit of variety because different species offer different amounts of vitamins and minerals, and food from a single source could be deficient in a particular nutrient, which would lead to long-term problems.
