Well I found that a consise and not particularly complicated explanation

Rabbit was the first thing I ever bought.

Fussy cat was nursing the four baby beasts, she ate what we had in the house at the time, dry and pouches. The 'food' was going in and seemed to be coming straight out, the litter tray was very wrong indeed!

gut instinct: 'must get some real food for this little cat, what do cats eat?' mice, rats, birds, rabbits, aha rabbits! off to butchers shop, bring rabbit home cat and tiny little cats set about the defrosting rabbit like a pride of lions whilst I try to take it off them to portion it up!

I do feed rabbit a lot, I get wild now not the farmed from the butcher, but its the only game I get at the moment, I'd feed deer if I could, I have concerns about lead shot in game birds so don't often get them, can get ex racing pigeons though, and I feed a lot of egg industry 'waste', ex layer quails, day old chicks as whole prey, very occasionally mice, hamster etc.

Am constantly on the look out for suppliers raising animals more ethically / naturally, and which I can afford, you are really lucky if you have farms near you, if they are worth their salt they'll let you on the land to see how things are done.

I expect the cats think we are mad having concern over the ethics of the meat industry, at the end of the day they don't really care how it was raised, lived and died and I find I have had to adopt this stance on occasion and opt for crap £1.39 kg chicken in the supermarket, this has always I'm sure been a false economy as I fully distrust the labelling and likely it is pumped full of saline and who knows what else.

If you can go for gold standard I'd encourage you to jump in, the older he gets the more he will be imprinted, kittens switch really easy, tiny weanlings will eat whats natural with no prompting.

Don't give your lad too many of those chicken wings though, they are very heavy in bone near 50% if your feeding them triple jointed, you need a fair whack of muscle meat to balance that up, maybe that pigeon you have in the freezer ,
