Hmmm they bite? never mind... things that bite me, snakes, scorpions, spiders....i just am afraid of... i guess that is part of the draw for some...
dog food... hmmm. yes my dogs eat it too. and its formulated for their digestions. and they have been domesticated for ever to eat that kind of stuff. and yest most of it is crap. but, i am not doing the raw diet, and i am not cooking for them...grin. so high quality dog food...ok for dogs..
but most wild animals, or even livestock, shouldn't be fed it. fore most liver and kidney damage can happen. bloat, colic, toximia (from chems in dog food), etc....2nd is the meat/ground byproducts for the possibility of BSE and other meat related diseases being passed to animals that can get it. and then they say not to feed like animals like food... ie. pork chops to a pig...grin... which i have one of those... but hey, i feed chicken to my macaw... Its all in what you feel comfy with.
