feeding carnivores

[mudvayne]

i have a quick question?

What can you feed carnivores?

Can i feed them pork, beef, fish from a grocery store, etc.
I'm currently feeding them sanfransico bay frozen beef heart but it is becoming hard to come by in new hampshire.
Any answers would be a huge help.

Thanks Mudvayne

Beef heart from the grocery store will be okay, as will most fish or crustaceans. Regular ground beef/pork/chicken will be a no-no--too fatty. A diet high in mammal fat is bad for fish--has to do with metabolising the fats and the temperature at which mammal fat solidifies.

brine shrimp, krill, earthworms, High Quality pellets like HBH or NLS.

Yes I would not feed fish most mammal flesh besides beef heart. You can feed earthworms, fish from the supermarket and shrimp from the supermarket as well. A local butcher should be able so sell you beef heart, Ive never seen it at a super store.

Chicken and other poultry is not mammalian, but should also be avoided.

good suggestions.
with beefheart trim the fat.

(as mentioned) fat is not a good thing.
