Hi Bobbie, thanks for all the info on Darwin's carb content. I had run into conflicting info on it so I wasn't ever sure! Sounds like the NV Rabbit and Darwin's Duck are good options for getting Uncle some higher carbs. I know what you mean about people being grossed out by handling raw meat. I still am and I've been doing it for 8 years! I've been a vegetarian all for 44 years. I take all food bowls etc into the basement and wash them in the utility sink. It's a bit of a hassle for a housesitter. Good idea to have canned food on board.
