Very impressed with the packaging as it was 99% frozen through when we got them out of the box. Just a wee bit squidgy, but mostly solid.
In terms of tasters:-
We've just tried the tuna cubes. Whole packet went down and only a tiny tiny bit is left!! We had about 10 cubes in ours which I cut up into smaller bits and removed the bones.
So current review would be:
Chucky tuna bits: 10/10
Yep ours was a bit squidgy too but nothing major, just popped it in the freezer and left the rabbit out for Hank. As I mentioned in my other post, he absolutely loved it!!!
So Hanks verdict on the rabbit is 10/10! :thumbup::thumbup:
It's great that so many of you are putting your Maine Coons onto a raw diet - even if it is just to supplement other foods that they are getting.
I have 7 coonies at the moment and they are all on raw and doing brilliantly on it - I occasionally give them a tin of almo nature or applaws just so that I know they can have commercial food if they should need it but all of our kittens are weaned straight on to raw too.
Not only is it better for them but it keeps the litter trays so much nicer too!
Storvenn and Loki didnt want to touch the Wild Rabbit. :(
Left it out for 24hrs to defrost and ensure it was room temperature, put it into their bowls about an hour past their normal feeding time (sorry S&L, I was writing a review of laser pen..) and they both turned boses up at it.
Kept meowing at me for food, so I made up a dry food + sachet of wet mix. Wolfed it down, which wasnt surprising as we had been playing 'laser pen' for a while.
So unfortunately Wild Rabbit gets a 0/10 from me as neither would touch it.
On the highly positive side though.. I guess thats why they do the sample packs.
You got me! Thought "turned boses up" was some quaint "British English" expression for a second! :winkwink:Quote:

I've always wanted to try this but worried about delivery as I am out all day & my office won't allow post to go there. :(
Doh! A case of my big hands vs iddie biddie N and B keys. Sorry! :)Quote:

Glad you tried the service. It's funny isn't it, Lucius will ONLY eat the wild rabbit. And it can't be the wild rabbit variety, oh no, it has to be pure wild rabbit. He really wasn't very interested in the rest, although was a good boy and ate them anyway but you could tell it wasn't with any pleasure. So now we just order wild rabbit and in between batches (so once every fortnight roughly) we go out an buy him some lamb shoulder or rump steak as a change which he also loves. Yes we are very much OWNED!! :rofl:Quote:

We have been using F4C since November now and are really happy, although I did have to chase them to get the £10 back but I am sure it was just an oversight. The only other issue was having to wait almost 4 weeks for an order over Christmas due to their local dhl depot being closed for the heavy snowfall, but it was fine as we just brought him supermarket meat, and in the end they actually hand delivered because we had waited so long. Now considering we are in Cambridge and they are in Cheshire I would say that is pretty impressive service.
I'd be interested to know if anyone has had the raw pork in their variety pack, and whether they gave it to their kitty? We did and nearly didn't give it to him as we are aware of the parasite issue in raw pork, but our breeder has spoken to the women who runs F4C (apparently she is a breeder too) and she assured her British pork is fine and parasite free. So we gave it to him, and he ate it, but not with any really interest....
We got the pork and had the same reservations as yourself so put it in the bin.
Not bad customer service from them if they hand delivered!
We're working our way through the sample pack. Yesterday we tried minced up chicken. Loki didnt want it, Storvenn seemed 'ok' about it.. When I came down this morning there was still dried food left but 1/2 of the raw chicken had gone. So one of them must like it :)
Tuna still way out in the lead on the "How Much Do We Like It"'o'meter.
