    In the fairly near future, I'm planning on adopting a pair of kittens or (preferably) older kittens/young adults, who have been house broken (don't want to damage a rental or declaw)

    About how many frozen feeder mouse/mice would I need to thaw and feed each kitten per day? Would they need to be spaced out, like one in the morning and one in the evening?

    Is there such a thing as freeze dried feeder mice, so I could rehydrate and feed, and wouldn't have to contend with a freezer and electricity?

    In the event either or both of the above are too expensive, is Dr Elsey's or Young Again OK for non-diabetic kittens/cats?

    Trying to avoid dehydration, kidney disease, diabetes. etc.

    Thank you.

    The last time this topic came up was in 2016. This is a link to the discussion.

    Any food that is recommended for a diabetic is fine for a non-diabetic. The low carbohydrate diet is based on cats being obligate carnivores. They do not need carbohydrates in their diet. I'd suggest taking a look at this website on feline nutrition.
