Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Can Bully Stix be broken in half? Hi, Thinking about buying some NON-recall (geesh) bully sticks for the first time and thought I might try buying the 6 inch (bc I found a good deal), but them breaking them in half - can that be done or are they too hard? Thanks! Ann |

| You know, I actually tried that once..it didn't work. I would just leave it alone because I get more worried with smaller pieces..yaknow??

| I know of some people who have bought the really long ones and "cut" them into the lengths they want. You could probably do that. I don't know how long they are though. Wow! 3inches seems pretty small....I think the smallest I have seen was 5inches. - that seems to be the right size. Good luck!

| YOu'd need a band saw They're TOUGH! I just give the girls the biggest ones I can find, it's usually cheaper that way anyway, and it's quite a while until you have to worry that it's too small. They seem to love having that HUGE thing

| I like the 6 inch ones for Tatum. It's a great length for her to be able to hold. We take it away when it's about an inch long. I tried getting a 12 inch once and cutting it in half. I managed to do it but it was a huge pain in the butt!

| I contacted eddieb on ebay that sells the bully sticks and his are in no way affected by the recall.

| If you have a large butcher's knife or a cleaver...that would easily cut through a beef tendon or bully stick. Not as easily to cut yourself, as you are doing a "chopping" motion, not a "slicing" motion. |

| I buy the 12 inch ones. I used to get 6 inch ones, but I always end up throwing away the last 2.5 inches. By buying the longer size, I waste less. We did buy a 24 inch one once . My boyfriend used a metal cutting plier type thing to cut it. But even with that it was pretty hard. |

| We buy the 12 inch ones and my husband uses a saw to break them in half because they are so hard. The bully sticks we buy say Bully Stick Dog Treat by RedBarn on them. I did read the link that someone posted about some of the bully sticks being contaminated. Not again!! I sure hope it's not the ones made by RedBarn. Does anyone know if that name brand is ok? I didn't see that name on the link.
