ANIMAL FOOD

HARD-BOILED EGGS ARE GOOD FOR ALMOST ANY ANIMAL.

Submitter comment: WHEN OUR CAT BROUGHT IN A LITTLE RABBIT THAT IT HAD CAUGHT
BUT NOT KILLED, OUR NEIGHBOR FED IT HARD-BOILED EGGS,
AND IT HOPPED OFF LIVELY. HER MOTHER-IN-LAW, WHO WAS FROM
WARSAW, POLAND, CLAIMED THAT JUST ABOUT ANY ANIMAL WOULD
EAT AND BENEFIT FROM HARD-BOILED EGGS.
