Question ID: 54897
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.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

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:

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.
