A trick to get them to chew is to hold one end of it while they chew on the other, eventually it will click that they have to chew up the bones well before swallowing. |
I didn't know he was a gulper, but you’re right he is, and I will never ever feed a neck bone to him again. It was so scary, it was stuck in his neck and I had to pull it out, with him gagging. I'm just not willing to ever experience that again, and because no one ever even suggested it might be a problem, I haven't had any confidence in the safety of these things. I did think a wing torn apart might be safe, but even among the raw feeders there are so many disagreements. I will say the Bison back bones have gone well; they had them three times, and no problems. I’m kind of afraid of salmonella and with the bison back at least there’s no risk for that.
