It is has the consistency of hamburger. The omnivores get vegetables with a little Bravo added. The insect eaters get live crickets, mealworms, and earthworms. Everything else is fed frozen food that is thawed out. Except for the insects, we do not use live food.
Live food causes problems.
The thawed out food is placed in the areas, sometimes hidden so animals like snakes find it and eat it. It is healthier to use frozen animals because the freezing kills any parasites the animal may have. That depends on the animal. The cats get normal vaccinations, just like house cats. Normally we use a dart gun, not to knock the animal out, but to give the vaccination.
