Re: Feeding Raw

Worming really depends on what meats you provide. If you provide fresh, especially pork or game then you should worm regularly. If the meat has been frozen for two weeks then worms are not an issue as the freezing kills the worms and larvae.

Have you tried rabbit with the bengals? I know 10 breeders of bengals who feed almost nothing but rabbit.

I'm really working on feeding mine on raw but my Bengal is not into meats! I've tried everything from fish, raw and cooked beef, prawns(raw and cooked), chicken(raw and cooked, boiled and grilled!) and no luck so far! Trouble on the other hand is a porker! and will have it all hahah but i can't get her to eat wings, only raw or cooked chicken pieces. I'm going to see if i can get some ground up chicken with bone from the butcher next week and see if that goes.
