Well, I'm not the world's greatest authority on food...but I do know one of the first three ingredients should be meat, and I don't see that. The closest thing I see to meat is poultry fat, and that's not meat at all. I don't think it should be fed as a staple diet, but rather, part of the mix. What else are you feeding her?

well, im trying to wean her off the kitten food that she came eating with...um....yeah i though it had to be a meat ingredient or meat product. Iisn't Chicken Meal a meal from chicken? :) lol....i dont no and im too tired to think so ill check back in the morning. More help would be appreciated!

Either I'm blind, or not reading correctly, but there's no chicken meal in the ingredients. There's corn gluten meal and chicken fat. But there's no chicken meal. I could have missed it though...it's late here, and I've been known to overlook.

EDIT: Nope. I re-looked, and there's no chicken meal. :)

um...i think you might be blind (no offense)...its the first ingredient...lol :banana:


HIJO :)

:laugh: LOL..oh god...I just looked again. I'm an idiot. I should really go to bed.

But seriously...a mix of two or more foods is best, just in case one runs out. That way, you still have something to feed that your hedgie is used to, so their stomach doesn't get upset.

Oh my god...I'm so blind! I'm going to bed, I think.

lolz....yeah um....i think im going to mix 3 foods after i get her off this dumb kittenfood. She barely even likes the kittenfood and LOVES the catfood but I have to take it slow switching her. It'[ll take a while...

I think Hemi's mommy needed some sleep. :laugh:

But HiJo...good idea to take it slow. 3/4 old food first week, 1/2 old food second week, 1/4 old food third week and on the fourth week, new food.
