I'm sure there are tons of threads about this. I'm not trying to be lazy, but I honestly don't have time to sift through dozens of threads. I have work, I take online college classes, and need time to play with my boys. Sorry!
I've seen a lot of posts mentioning raw feeding. What are the benefits? Pros/cons?
I definitely want to give my boys the best I can. If that is raw feeding, I want to look into it.
How much would it cost to feed 100% raw? I have 2 male kittens about 6 months old. I'm not sure how much they weight. Connor is very muscly and bulky and seems to weight at least twice as much as Murphy though they are the same size. I guess Murphy just has a less solid build. They are also very large for their age. Their father is a very big cat and it would seem that my babies are following in his footsteps. They appear to be the size of a full grown cat at this time.
I was glancing through an article about raw feeding and it mentioned getting whole animals like mice, rabbits, etc. Is that more beneficial than buying meat from the grocery store? More expensive?
I am not rich. Far from it. I make enough to pay my bills and keep everyone fed, with not much left over. Currently, they boys are eating Purina Kitten Chow and a can of Fancy Feast Classic every day.
Basically, I haven't decided to switch. I'm not sure I will. I just want more information.
