What is the best diet for a pet emu?

Our emu eat a mix of ratite feed by Kalmbach, rabbit pellets, chicken layer feed, and their favorite treat is cat food! We also mix cat food with their daily food – which we have been doing 2-3x a day, but we do notice now that spring is here that they are eating a lot more so we are adding more food during the day. Treats they enjoy are kale, peas, blueberries and apples!

An emu grows at the rate of 6″ a month for 12 months until they reach 6′ tall! With all that growth going on they need the proper nutrition!
