Why Wombaroo Small Carnivore Food?
~ quote from Healthy-Bird.Com
Carnivorous and omnivorous animals need to catch live food. Feeding live food is not only important nutritionally it also helps maintain a healthy attitude in captive animals. If insects are offered as live food ensure they represent the insect stage eaten by the animal in the wild. There are considerable differences in composition between mature and immature or larval stages of insects. Animals that prey on mature insects such as moths, beetles and crickets should not be fed large numbers of larval stage insects. Captive animals are commonly fed meal worms and fly pupae which are larval stage insects. These can be poor food substitutes for many animals because of their high fat content. Fat contains twice as much energy as other nutrients and increased quantities in the diet can significantly dilute the intake of essential nutrients.
Here to share the recipe....
Mix about 70g of Small Carnivore Food with about 30ml of warm water. Add the water slowly to the powder while mixing to produce a moist, crumbly food. Do not make into a paste.
Small Carnivore Food is kind of insects meal, it can replace the insect feeding. its made for small animal like glider, rodent and so on.We need to feed difference types of insects, in order to give the Sugar Glider, Gerbil and Hamster a balance insect protein, just like if we only eat chicken everyday, no fish, no beef.. in long term we will lack of certain protein or nutrition., but human is big in size, these animals are small, a minor unbalanced in diet can cause healthy problem to them.In oversea, glider owner feed a few type of insects like fly pupa, grasshopper, crickets, mealworms and so on. The protein VS fat level change during the difference stage of the insects, if we wrongly feed when its in high FAT level, glider can not tolerant too fat, same to others small animals. They need protein more than fat.

Small Carnivore Food is made with a few type of insects, which they are in high protein stage. So it is more healthy and balance to feed Small Canivore Food than only mealworms. And its hygiene and bacteria free.
