Re: Mouse Question

It is chicken heart. Is sold as catfood. And I feed it raw.

Re: Mouse Question

Cat food? Over here all we have is canned tuna and other crap. Occasionally on Thanksgiving (an American Holiday) we'll give the dogs some insides from the turkey.

Re: Mouse Question

Canned catfood is also the main food for those animals.
But some people like to give chickenhearts. Sometimes also available is chickenstomach and chickenliver. The stomach is also easily eaten by the garters. The liver is not that popular.

Re: Mouse Question

I think heart is the best, as it keeps some shape when cut into small strips. Liver is inclined to disintergrate.

Re: Mouse Question

Just as a random comment, I tried giving my female strips of beef yesterday. Took it unscented after about 5 seconds of hesitation.

Re: Mouse Question

Do you mean beef flesh or beef heart, Stefan?

Re: Mouse Question

Flesh. I'm not going to start using it as a part of their diet, but it's good to know that at least one of them will eat it.

Re: Mouse Question

It shows that people are right about Garters being opportunist!
