Help with Raw diet - Page 5

Thats great to know. Thank you so much :)

They have a little bit of everything at this butcher, and for a good price so I'm pretty excited.

Thanks again!

Can't wait to buy that rabbit next week. lol!

Ok so I didnt want to jinks myself but we started the raw diet on saturday with chicken backs and wow she loves it. I have one problem, she has been eating grass and her paws alot since then. I was wondering what else I could try besides chicken. Something that has bones that are not to hard for her to chew up. Thanks

 Might be a problem because it's such a high fat content. Try turkey necks instead of chicken backs, and add lots of muscle meat and a bit of organ meat. Heck, a 2" square of kidney or liver a day is enough. Or forget the chicken backs and switch to the leg/thigh quarters. More meat. One that is cheap and good is pork shoulder roasts. The bone in it is edible too.

I have a beef/veal packing plant I use a lot. See if you can strike up an acquaintance with someone in the meat business. Also, if you are in a rural area, this is the perfect time of year to pick up drop calves at dairy farms. They often sell baby calves that they don't want for practically nothing, like ten bucks for a 130-lb calf. Of course, you'd have to do the dirty deed.....
