What do wild animals eat in captivity?
The nutrition of any animal staying at the refuge must reflect the animals natural diet as well as its current state of health. We have kitten and puppy milk replacement formulas and rice cereal for the young animals who are still nursing. For older, more mature animals, we use high quality pet food, along with a variety of fruits and vegetables as these become available. For very sick animals, special considerations are made to provide the best possible nutrition to encourage a fast recovery.
