Answer to Question 1

Commercial carnivore and insectivore diets, along with some fruit and fresh insects (mealworms, crickets). Some owners add a small amount of dog kibble, kitten chow, and low fat cottage cheese. A pinky or fuzzy should also be given weekly.

Answer to Question 2

To carry small twigs and grasses to the nest. They also use them to grasp small objects. Their tails are slightly prehensile.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
