 Question for all of you Nature's Variety Raw Feeders
Hi! I have been doing a lot of research on feeding my two babies, Bella and Romeo a raw diet. I've read every thread I can find and every website that comes up on a google search, and I've decided it's the way I want to go. It seems that Bella only eats her kibble to stay alive. Yesterday I gave them some raw chicken wings, and they both ate them in no time! It was so nice to see Bella so excited about eating! Anyway, I want to put them on Nature's Variety premade Raw food. I don't feel like I can handle the prey model diet yet, even though I know they're missing out on the dental benefits. I'm going to pick some food up for them today, so my questions are as follows:
1. What Nature's Variety meats should I purchase first for them?
2. I have a Nature's Variety retailer very close to me that sells Nature's Variety raw bones (Raw Ham Bone, Raw Lamb Bone, Raw Beef Bone, Raw Bison Bones, Turkey Necks, and Split Beef Knuckles). Should I buy them? If so, which ones? Does the bone count as one of their meals? Do I weigh the bone and only give them their reccomended requirement (Bella eats 2 oz and Romeo eats 3 oz)? and lastly, how often would I give them a bone?
I apologize for the long post, I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing by my babies! Thank you all in advance and I can't wait to hear from you, Heidi |
