I want resources on the nutrient contents of rodents fed as prey items to other carnivores. For example, this page http://www.anapsid.org/resources/preynutrients.html contains data of the nature I'm looking for, but I wanted something a bit more specific. At the above link, the values for younger mice are not know, and the single rat breakdown in question makes no mention of the age/size of said rat. There is no information whatsoever on rabbits at all. Obviously, I already have this information, so something of less detail would be unacceptable and I will not pay for it. |

The tables toward the end of this paper, entitled "Nutrient Composition of Whole Vertebrate Prey (Excluding Fish) Fed in Zoos," might be useful to you: http://makeashorterlink.com/?W12622781 The link above will redirect you to a cached html version; the original .pdf file is apparently no longer on the Web. The formatting of the tables has been skewed by the conversion from .pdf to .html, but the data may still be helpful. |

That is an exellent start and perhaps as good as can be expected...Thanks! If anyone can find something even more (if possible) detailed, that would be outstanding. I'm espically concerned with Ca:P ratios, which even in this tremendous table are lacking for mice and most of the rat entries (at least the P part of the ratio) |

If there are any raptor research centers in your area, you might be able to obtain useful data there. |
