Re: For all the Raw feeders out there

could I ask a question - is the amount of organs / bone in the various minced meats enough to give the correct balance in the diet?
Also, is it possible to get rabbit chunks with less bone in?

The meat, bone, organs is balanced for cats in the Variety packs (Ox, Mince, Rabbit, Ostrich). The Wild Rabbit mince is a little low in liver as it is often disgarded by the person who catches it (I'm working on that one) but wild rabbit should not be fed as the bulk of any diet as the vitamins / minerals, taurine etc are a little low for cats (and humans).
Wild rabbits are about half the size of farmed rabbits (about 900g) so it is quite time consuming to strip the meat off the bones. Also they are frozen within a couple of hours of being killed to ensure freshness. What I can do is send you some samples of different portions with your next order to see what your cats prefer. Also if you remind me I'll pop in a sample of the sow tounge.
I find that kittens at about 7 weeks old really tuck into the chunks.
