So my kitten decided he did not like ground raw meat at all anymore because he of course is king of the house --___-- I've been trying a 'frankenprey" diet and actually it's been easier than ground
basic questions:
-How to best get more omega 3s into him? He has absolutely stopped eating canned sardines (in spring water, from trader joe's) and I'm not sure if drizzling fish oil on his food works well, or if he would even eat it? Other small fish he has also turned his nose up on
-when you guys provide other protein such as beef or pork, what part of the animal are you feeding? [I source from local markets, both western and ethnic]
I have a 9 month old Siberian cat (large breed cat, slow maturing). He currently gets 2 meals a day of 3oz each. He has dry kibble (cat&kitten orijen) that he can "work" to get out of the puzzle feeder throughout the day
Per week, he gets 9 oz of chicken heart (3 meals of 3oz)
-3oz of pork kidney
-3oz of chicken gizzards
-3 oz of chicken liver
-3oz of duck
-21 oz of the primary protein of the week. I cut up whole cornish game hen and/or chicken currently
on saturdays he eats one egg yolk at noon
Is this a healthy diet? Am I missing something fundamental? He has turned his nose up at duck by itself for whatever reason (i currently mix it with liver). I have rabbit in the freezer that I have yet to thaw out and portion out.
Would chicken/game hen be enough for him if he dislikes other proteins?
Thanks in advance for all advice from the more knowledgeable and more experienced
