Umm, Spinach I believe is bad for BTS. Also, it contains a bunch of words I don't know, so I wouldn't buy it. I look for canned foods that have ingredients like chicken, beef, liver, carrots, potatoes, peas, beans and some broth maybe. I try to avoid any foods with words I can't understand.

The fish, potatoes and spinach put me off. Others may feel differently.

Tattoo, why not potatoes? I don't recall anything bad about them, but I'd love to know?

i agree the fish puts me off whats wrong with potatoes??

I dont think it sounds bad, with the amount of spinich in there I dont see a prob with that,fish can be dodgy, I dont understand why a cat would like all that fruit either.

Potatoes are on the feed rarely list. I see them as something cheap that is put in lots of foods as a filler. Just not my choice of high quality skink food but as always to each his own.

personally i think it wouldn't be a bad choice. The ingrediants that are hard to pronounce are basicly the equivilent of adding vitamin powder to other foods which many people do already.

Fish seems to be a personal choice food, some people feel it has a greater chance of having zoonotic diseases, plus the potential for a high mercury content, but I know several people on here feed their blueys fish.

potato starch is in many types of food because it tends to be an easily digested carbohydrate.

As meats and catfood are usually fed in smaller amounts and not always daily. I think it would be a decent viable option for feeding in conjunction with other meat sources and of course fresh greens and vegies.
