Animals on eBay.

Can you auction live animals on eBay? The forum has all the answers, as I have come to find out. I recently brought home four two-or-three-week-old baby bobcats from my family's ranch outside of our town, and don't know what to do with them all. I am keeping one, and a friend of mine says he wants to have one because he always wanted a bobcat for a pet. I know we have some cat-lovers here and wanted to know what to feed them. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I think I'll call one Keith.

The mother was shot some time earlier because of the nusiance to the goats, sheep, calfs, etc on the ranch. I checked the Animal Control Office where I live and it is pefectly legal to have them as pets, which I thought was strange.

Found this on the interweb...

Bobcat kittens are hand reared starting at about 14 days. They will nurse a bottle until eight weeks to twelve weeks of age. Bottle feeding is a psychologically important activity for these felines. The milk formula should be a quality product like KMR or Milk Matrix 33/40 with additional calcium and vitamins. When the kitten reaches 5 to 6 weeks, begin adding Iams Kitten formula canned meat diet to the milk mixture.

Feed weaned bobcats canned Zupreem, Mazuri dry or a calcium/phosphorus balanced, raw meat diet with added vitamins The calcium/phosphorus ratio must be at least 1.2 to 1. Boneless meats are especially unbalanced without calcium supplimentation. Chicken necks provide a rich source of calcium and are a good item to feed in addition to boneless meat sources like chunk beef, or liver and kidney.
