: They love raw nuts(protien) and corn (protien) also
: : Thanks

The nuts are very high in fats and glider don't digest fats well at ALL. The corn should be given very sparingly, the calcium/phosporus ratioo is like 1:40 and you will want to try to keep that at a 2:1 ratio. Catfood as Mandy has said is very controversial, a study was done by the Mich Univeristy and they have found it to cause intestional blockages. We however don't have the specifics as to the study, as to what else was fed with it or if it were fed alone etc..Thus making it controiversial. The rule of thumb I follow, is if in doubt.. don't.. There was a great discussion regarding diets on this link..
