Pet food recall

[Catherine]

You are right that it is the grain that is the problem. This time it was mold contamination. The grain wouldn't pass inspection for use as human food.
They probably thought that they could get away with it for animal food.

Years ago many cats and dogs died or were damaged because of contaminated grain. Something was added to the grain to make it test as higher quality and therefore be worth more money. I had just had my rescue Hedgehog Quibble for a month. He was doing really well. I bought one small  can of cat food for him as a treat. He showed signs of massive kidney failure and was gone  within the  week. I am sure it was the food. For my second hedgehog I made special treats and he lived for years. If only I hadn't bought that can of food.


 I think you are wise to make Forgy's food.  It would be better quality than commercial food and safer for him.
