Personally I wouldn't feed them. One, they are lighter weight than you think and I would bet half that is pelt. They are mean, nasty, smaller litters and slower to grow.



If you really don't want to raise them at home I would either buy locally frozen or, last resort, order online.

As for a nutrition chart....
