The pork issue is a bit of a myth nowadays. There used to be concerns over trichinosis which is a parasite that affected pigs and caused serious problems in anything that ate it. Nowadays this is eradicated from pigs bred in the UK. There is still a possibility that wild game especially boar can pass it on but most suppliers of game freeze it for at least 2 weeks to ensure that the parasite is dead.

I'm sure they'll be fine with the mince, it's just a bit more risky than regular meat  I give mine mince too, when I have some spare from my own dinner, but I wouldn't go out and specifically buy it for them.
I found this raw feeding thing to be quite scary when I first started reading about it, but it's quite simple really. Just think of what a prey would contain, and then try to replicate it. So, mostly just meat, and then a little bone and a little liver or other organ meat. That's it really! Then give some raw fish once a week and you're all set. |
