Re: Green Tripe Vs Other Tripe?

I get green tripe from Scott and it is actually a mottled grey colour. I think it is called green because it is unwashed/bleached and is not processed in any way like other tripe.
I have also had both the chicken necks and wings and I feed chicken carcasses. The wings have a lot more meat on them and proper bones. Carcasses are a bit hit and miss but have very little meat generally and are usually the ribcage stripped of meat and the neck which has lots of tiny bones.
I prefer feeding wings as they are about the right amount of meat to bone but have the others in for when Mia's stools get a little loose to firm her up again.

Thanks, that's a perfect explanation

How often do you tend to give wings? I don't know if a couple wings a day and the rest meat mince would be too much/too little bone? Will get a few lbs of lamb breast/rib bones but I have no idea whether he will eat the bone and the like if you know what I mean? If a couple wings a day is too much I'd order less of those, if its too little maybe get some chicken mince WITH bone as well...

I am hopeless Problem is round here I can't get much for him to eat that isn't chicken and then all the wings come frozen in 1kg bags so end up with loads of waste. It'd be cheaper to trial it this way than locally I think which is why I'm taking the plunge so much..!

Re: Green Tripe Vs Other Tripe?

For Mia I feed 350g all meat (Ox heart, tripe, offal) or mostly meat (chicken or rabbit mince with bone etc in) in the morning along with a bit of veg, a tablespoon of probiotic plain yoghurt and a splash of salmon oil. In the evening she gets 250g of meaty bones (lamb ribs, chicken wings, carcass etc). If she had no bone in the morning she gets the bonier stuff at night and if she has had the rabbit or chicken mince that contains a bit of bone she has wings in the evening. Like I said earlier I give more bone if she is a bit loose and less if she is passing hard stools. I also feed her a tin of pilchards or sardines in tomato sauce at least once a week. They are really handy for those days you forget to defrost........
I find feeding raw really easy. If I am stuck there is always something in the house she can eat even if it was meant to be for our own dinner. The kids think I am a really good mum when we order in pizza out of the blue, little do they know it's because Mia has had theirs.

With the chicken wings I buy fresh and freeze in two's or buy a bag or box of frozen and chuck them on the kitchen floor until they separate then bag up in two's and pop them back in the freezer. Same for the necks and carcasses. Great for when you are a bit fed up that throwing and smashing frozen poultry

Re: Green Tripe Vs Other Tripe?

Oooh brilliant thank you very much!

For Rupert I am thinking something like mince with a bit if veg in the morning not sure if I should get some with bone and some without? For tea I'm thinking a chicken wing or two pretty much most of the time would be a good basis as I know he loves them and they go through him fine, is that too much say two chicken wings daily or fine bone wise?

With that I'd give some more mince and veggies and instead of chicken wings sometimes do pilchards and a bit of lamb breast bone.

If doing it that way I'm undecided whether I should get him mince with bone, mince without or a bit of both? Bearing in mind tripe mince won't have any bone...
