Title: Bengal feeding requirements
Post by: JackSpratt on March 02, 2007, 20:18:44 PM

Are they any different to moggy feeding requirements? Just want to find out as much as possible about things like this in case it is possible to give the little girl on rescue and rehoming somewhere.

Linda will best answer this but she did tell me the boys had 3 pouches each a day, and chicken...so not sure, but not a regular moggy diet

Hi Jackspratt,

If you want to drop me a PM, happy to answer any and all of your questions.  Feeding requirements are not too different to moggies but I do supplement my lot with some raw and cooked meats.  The boys in particular have big appetites but also have delicate tummys (bengal breed characteristic).

I would say the biggest difference you need to be aware of is personality.  They can be fairly demanding and you need to be prepared for that.  Happy to chat you through.

You do have to watch for tummy upsets - when Gail got her third, he had to have RC sensitivity for the majority of hte first year of his life. It is the demanding personality that means I will have to admire from afar, I am too used to my nice sedate oldies!!
