This is something you may want to specifically talk to razeraze about. He has more experience than alot of us in this area. Shoot him a pm. It may take a while for him to get back to you as his life has become busy and he isn't on much.

From what I've read, I think their diet should mainly consist of insects like Roaches, crickets, king worms, and such with once weekly rodents. I've never heard anything about a healthy Bosc turning down an appropriately sized rodent.

And just for good measures, just don't ever feed dog food. No matter how good of quality it is.
