I feed my dogs twice a day so generally mine get bones twice a week, either in chicken wing form or bones from the butcher. They get tripe twice a week and then the rest of the meals are split between fish (which some raw feeders don't give but mine like it so they get it) minced beef, lamb, turkey (if I can get it) and minced chicken. They also have raw carrots (no nutritional value but they enjoy them) and some mushed vegi's (I mix carrots, parsnips and peas, cook them , liquidise and then re-freeze in bags). Again not all raw feeders give veg. Mine also get apples, melon and whatever fruit I have in, they just get that as and when they show an interest in what I'm having!!
I've recently started giving the rabbit from the local game keeper, he chops them into quarters for me and they eat them whole. That's definately an outside meal!!! He did offer me the crows they've been shooting but I declinded...not sure that they should be eating that!!!!!!!!!
I buy my minced meat from Anglian Meat Products so it comes in easy frozen packets which have all the bones etc minced in with them. The rest of my meat comes from my butcher or the supermarkets (fish is Tesco value).
