- I've seen mentioned "ground" bones n' such. I am wondering how you ground them???
I've read through Auntie Crazy's post of her experience changing over to raw.
I just finished reading the book: Your Cat: Simple secrets to a longer life by Elizabethe Hodgkins and have made a decision.
I would like to supplement Kizzy's diet with some raw in it. I'm not switching completely over to raw, I will still feed a good dry along with canned (but he doesn't like the canned much) and hope that I could feed the raw instead of the canned (if he likes it better0.
So I'm still in the research phase, and will be scouring the threads here and that site mentioned in Auntie Crazy's post.
- because I am planning to only supplement with raw, do I have to get the vitamins and such to add to it? Or is that only if you are feeding completely raw with no dry or wet?
- I have a freezer full of frozen rodents. Mice and rats of various sizes (for my snakes). I would like to offer Kizzy a small rodent. I don't want to just plunk the rodent on a plate...(fears of him dragging it someplace, and my husband would totally loose it). I have a coffee bean grinder that I use for reptile oriented stuff....I've used it to grind up smaller rodents ( pinky mice/rats), is that sufficient to grind up? Baby rodents have very little bone persay, its flexible and when put in a coffee grinder it turns to a puree/liquid.
I don't know how I'd grind up adult rodents with stronger bones. Perhaps dismembering them then using the coffee grinder.
- necks...chicken or turkey..... HOW do you feed them? We eat chicken and turkey which sometimes comes with necks and organs. Necks have lots of little bones, are these not a risk of choking????
I'm sure these questions have probally been asked before, so I thank you for indulging the repeatedness of them.
