Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As long as it is cooked, you can feed him that type of meat. How much depends on his needed caloric intake per day and what else you are feeding him with that. You could substitute whatever other protein he was getting such as chicken for the ostrich meat. Good luck and have a great day!
