That's fine. Abigail still does that with some things, and she's 7lbs. This is giving them a grrrrrreat neck & shoulder workout!

But he couldn't get anything off - so we tried holding if for him, he still couldn't get the meat off of it. So, we ended up giving him his NV. Do you think he is just too small (3 lbs.) to have the power to rip the meat off? He shouldn't, btw, have chicken - at least for a good while. (hesitant to try beef too)

No, I don't think Marcel is too small. Abigail was gnawing drumstick bones - not the little drummetts, mind you - when she was 9weeks old/2.2 lbs. I did hold it for her, and she put the hurt on that chicken leg! lol
MO, I would cut the meat up for him into manageable pieces, rather than going back to pre-made that sometimes has ingredients he might be allergice to (carbs, grains). Curious - forgive if I've asked this before; but, who told you he's allergic to chicken? A vet that probably has "issues" with RAW? And, yes, beef can be too strong for some to start out on.
