Its been 3 days and stools have been a little loose, so I have been giving them some canned pumpkin and it fixed things right up!
I also got fresh green tripe, smells gross, but they loved the chewy texture!
Tonight I gave them chicken necks and they went over great as well!
Do I need to continue to buy meat parts from Primal or can I get regular meat from the grocer/butcher? Is there any special way I need to clean or prepare meat parts purchased from a butcher?
Thanks for the help! |
Go for the "regular" meat!! It's probably much cheaper, too. The green tripe sounds like a winner. Just a word of caution with the chicken necks... there is the possibility of them getting stuck in the throats of our little guys because the shape and size are so similar. I wouldn't even feed them if you are giving backs, too. More meat may be in order as you progress.
I don't do anything special with the meat we get. Just watch out for cuts with sharp bone - those parts that have been sawed. If you can get beef heart - that is a great meal! That is considered muscle and not organ meat.
Isn't it fun watching them eat???
