Canned fish
Is canned fish ok? Like sardines in oil? Or other types with no other ingredients other than oil. I think it's usually soybean oil or olive oil.

Re: Canned fish
I usually look at the ingredients - if it's in olive oil - that is fine - that's on the safe list
If your store has a seafood dept, don't be afraid to go ask for one shrimp, or one crab claw...it's pretty cheap - and you can freeze the rest Lots of good stuff there! Then you are getting exoskeleton for them to eat too!

Re: Canned fish
Great! Thanks. That's a good idea. So, raw, right? It's just meat they shouldn't eat raw?GotButterflies wrote:I usually look at the ingredients - if it's in olive oil - that is fine - that's on the safe list

Re: Canned fish
All kinds of meat can be fed cooked or raw. See what they like, as long is its 'prepared' in a safe manner its fine. Remember, in the wild they dont have cooked foods, so they are fine being fed raw.

Re: Canned fish
I feed only raw. My guys don't like cooked foods.

Re: Canned fish
Ok. Thanks. That's so much easier too. I've read though raw isn't good. Most of what I've read about their care (I'm new) has 2 different sides.aussieJJDude wrote:All kinds of meat can be fed cooked or raw.

Re: Canned fish
Well, also look at what they eat in the wild. I tell people that no one is cooking for them in their natural habitat, and raw decaying organisms are part of their diet, so it makes sense that you wouldn't have to cook for them in captivity.Cherylco55 wrote:Ok.
