According to legend (of course he will not confirm) Bill Haast uses a force feeding mix of 1 part Fancy feast cat food, 1 part Gerber stage II turkey/gravy baby food. ½ teaspoon of Duravet, ½ tea spoon of reptical.
I have been using a variation mixing the baby food with the cat food, sometimes mixing in some potted meat and adding reptivite and t-rex bone aid (liquid calcium)
Two questions:
1. Discussed this with Harper at the SC show last month. He mentioned the cat food may have an ingredient that is harmful to snake kidneys. Any have any information on that?
2. It seems that t-rex has discontinued bone aid. I can not find it on the shelf. I only like to use liquid ingredients as the powders make it difficult to squeeze thru the tube. Wal-Mart is now carrying a liquid calcium product call “coral calcium.” It’s liquid calcium derived from ocean corals. Information on the product can be found at
