I know its probably a weird reaction,but AWWW,How cute is that! I bet they loved it. My kittys have always loved proper dead animals,rather than tinned cat food. I remember once finding my cat sitting in the conservatory with a dead baby blue tit in her mouth. And when she put it down,she had another one stuffed in there too. And then there was the time she brought a LIVE mole in... Yay for kitty cats:) xxx
exactly! I'm not willing to let my cats kill wild birds, but there's a reason they do that - that's what they evolved to eat, it's what's best for them.
and they enjoy the chicks enormously, batting them around and play-hunting them. So much cat fun!
They're mainly sold for snakes and birds of prey who aren't capable of eating kibble-type foods, but they're a good food for any carnivore. Much closer to what their bodies are evolved to eat than little meat-flavoured biscuits.
Raw feeding and species-appropriate diets are a bit of a thing of mine. I have to say it's worth the effort with the dogs and cats though. They look so much better on it - shiny coats and white teeth and boundless energy.

Besides, they'd be damn fiddly to pluck!

There are places you can order them online, but those generally only deal in several thousand at a time.

I love that "Ok, so what do I do with this now?" look.

The chicks kind of look drunk and passed out, not dead, which is both hilarious and a little pathetic.

I've used them as pet food for so many years now (snake, ferrets and hawks) that I pretty much take them for granted.
The dogs still won't eat them though. I think they find the feathers offputting, or it could be the egginess. Neither dog is a big egg fan.
