Thread: Raw Feeding Corner

Hi everyone, I've been raw feeding my 3 cats for 6 months now, with great results, most noticeably in my 18-year-old moggy. His fur is shinier, teeth cleaner, eyes brighter, and he's got more energy for wrestling with my 2 coonies! It took quite a bit of research to find the best suppliers, and now I've settled on using my local butcher, a local pre-ground raw food supplier, and a really excellent online supplier. My butcher is great, if I go in on a Friday he always gives me a bag of chicken wings, for free, and he will order beef heart and tongue for me, as well as beef trimmings, all of which is very cheap. I also feed minced whole rabbit, turkey leg meat, pork, liver and kidney, chicken meat, chicken necks, and whole mice from the snake shop. I would love to get hold of chicken hearts again as they love them, but I can only get 16kgs at a time which is rather too much for my freezer! Time to start a co-operative....

I don't do any mincing or grinding myself, I just cut larger pieces into chunks for the lads, (smaller chunks for my old-timer). I don't mix it all up and feed a balanced portion every day: I aim to achieve the balance over a week or so. I think this is called the 'frankenprey' model? If ever they turn their noses up at their dinner, I open a tin of pilchards or sardines and all it takes is a little blob on top, and they eat the lot! A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...! They have a few prawns as a special treat, and moving outside the raw food diet for a second they also eat peas and spaghetti. Here's a couple of pics with a turkey drumstick, sorry I have posted these before, must get some new pics soon.
