Re: Kiva goes raw!!

I'm not too bad at defrosting the carcass' because I am giving her them every other day, it's the chicken mince and tripe that's the bugger I'm sure I'll get into the swing of it

Tripe for tea, and firm and small poops this afternoon

Re: Kiva goes raw!!

I swear if people, or should I say 'normal' people , could see me they would think I was bonkers! Stood in the garden looking at poop saying things like 'oooo that's nice and firm' or 'thats a neat little poop' ha ha

Ok, so I've been a little naughty this evening kiva has had a mince and trip day today, and Shrap had mentioned giving her a 'recreational' bone on non bone days to give her something to chew on and a bit of jaw excersize. Now, we know that nothing from a boring old chicken could be classed as recreational, as they may aswell be made from kibble now Mrs has her raw jaws going! So I got a pig leg? Bone out of the freezer and let her have a go on that there wasn't much meat on it, and I only gave her it for 20 minutes, and she had a right good chew on one end. Soooo we will see how she is after her first, small taste of oinker
You may now all give me a virtual wrist slap ha ha

The pork yes ha ha we have only been at it for 4 days and I am already getting carried away! It could be worse though I can't wait to give her a trotter! she really enjoyed it, didn't get through much of it, but I think if she had it for an hour it would of been a meal instead of recreational lol
I'm sure she will be fine, and I will lay off any new things until the beginning of next week, then the turkey necks are coming out

Re: Kiva goes raw!!

I found that after the first few new introductions I had no problems,once their gut was used to raw they became quite hardy to all I gave them. It was often just a case of one of them not liking something, one of mine doesn't like raw liver or kidney in lumps ,so I either gently cook it , or mince it , "simples"

Re: Kiva goes raw!!

Chicken mince and a tablespoon of natural yoghurt for breakfast.

Small firm poops and no accidents overnight, so her 20 minute chew on a pork bone had no adverse effects

This is so much easier than I thought
