i was reaing the foods you can give to IRN's and i came accross brown rice and i was wondering is it had to be cooked or is it raw rice? Also can they eat pasta and if so...cooked or raw? Thanks people

whole grain rice boiled for few minutes is ok.
Also you can boil with rice peas, beans, oats ( quacker), and corn.
Freeze the boiled mix for long storage or put it in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
It must be served in room temperature only and mustnt remain in cage for more than 3-4 hours.
pasta only for treats if you want , i prefer only natural foods and supplements too.

You can give it raw, in very small amounts, as well. ^^

And beans have to be soaked overnight and rinsed thoroughly before boiling.
