Yes you can cross Commons & Albinos

The EY's should not bother the BN's Breeding

Anything hard - carrots, pumpkin, etc can be steamed. Zucchinni I slice lengthwise and stab with a fork, the weight of the fork makes the zuc sink. The object is to get the food to sink so the bristles can get to it easily. Soft stuff can go in raw. Frozen peas I thaw out and squish. The shells are sometimes too hard for the cats to get into.

Raw is fine but some people like to blanch them first

And make sure you wash them to make sure there is not pesticides or dirt.

any stone fruits, melons (mine love kiwi fruit), beans, steamed carrot, etc. The only thing NOT to feed them is acidic stuff, like citrus, capsicum, cabbage, etc.

Your EY's will have a go at the veggies, as will all your Africans.
