Diet: Quokka Cubes
A diet designed for Quokka (Setonix
brachyurus).
- Quokka are a small foregut fermenting marsupial
native to Western Australia. The most prominent population is on
Rottenest Island.
- This diet was designed around the work of Dr. Byron KAKULUS. This
work was published as a book Man Marsupials and Muscle, ISBN 0 85564 172
X in 1982.
- This diet design has been fed to breeding colonies, zoo colonies and
experimental animal colonies for around fifteen years.
- The vitamin A and vitamin E inclusion in this diet appears to be
exceptionally high. I have some doubt that this inclusion rate is
necessary, however considering the time that the diet has been in
successful use, I am very reluctant to modify this formulation.
- The diet is manufactured as an 12 mm diameter cube 15 - 25 mm long.
- Packaging is in 20 Kg woven polyethylene bags.
