In lieu of all the food scares going on, and since EVO gets expensive (especially with the two new bottomless pits!), DH and I are considering giving at least a partial raw diet. We tried it out with a chicken heart and chicken liver, just to see if they would like it.
As expected, Duke turned his nose up at it. If it ain't Friskies (or ice cream) he'll have none of it. Dreamer sniffed at it and licked it a bit, but she didn't have much time because Ares snatched it up and ran into the living room with the heart! Did I mention we have carpet in the living room? Anyway, after chasing him back into the kitchen, he scarfed the stuff! He absolutely loved it! I was really surprised.
If there is ever a time where Ares and Dreamer are indifferent to the world around them, its when they are eating. They don't make a peep, just nudge each other from bowl to bowl (I have to put out two of the double bowls with each compartment filled with food, otherwise Duke would starve!) Ares actually growled at his sister a few times, warning her to keep away from his food!
I may have to be a little more crafty with Duke...
