    Green and/or non plastic methods of refreezing portions of raw?

    Edit: this assumes at the least ground raw, and in my case commercial raw. I like the idea of getting burgerstyle or chubs of raw, however you got to defrost, chop it up into portions then refreeze. The most popular is to place portion in ziplock. Although i have plenty of ziplock at home, I...

    How to chop up chubs, burgers etc and keep frozen.

    I read on Hare Today that it is ok to thaw meat and refreeze it. They recommended placing food into ice tray, then use convenient cubes. I cant find on any commercial raw site, or here any evidence that it is recommended. I want to use radcat, or other brands chubs, but there is no way these...

    Common wisdom ?, are boy cats still considered more immune to urinary issues than females

    As some have seen in another thread, I am struggling with a kitty subcoming to mitral valve stenosis. I have been advised by my family and close friends to bring another baby/boss into my life. I don't want to be "sexist" or cast aspersions that would lead to folks considering one sex over...
