Contrary to what many an American seems to believe, they are /not/ actually one and the same >_<; On more relevantly ferrety topics, there's also the "soup bones" option for those who can't bear to feed whole animals. You miss out on a few things compared to an /entire/ animal, but you come pretty close if you combine a nice meaty carcass with appropriate giblets/organs. If a person's problem is that they can't bear to feed the cute little mousies/chicks/whatever, a chicken or rabbit carcass is often... shall we say... impersonal enough. Personally I'd say they're preferable to ground-up patties, too - those are convenient, but minced stuff doesn't take care of the teeth, which is one of the big reasons many natural feeders choose that diet over biscuits. Plus, in my experience, miced food always seems to result in diarrhoea... YMMV, I'm sure. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fox Lee: The Girl Your Mother Warned You About http://hypercrescendo.net/foxlee/fls/ http://www.furbiddenrealms.com http://blurty.com/users/leechimera/ "It turns out the ninja just wanted to compete in the tournament.
