Okay, so Grissom has been on rqw for about two months now... and so far he has had
Chicken
Turkey
Pork
Mackeral
Salmon
Sardines
Beef
Chicken Liver
Beef Kidney
Introduced in that order, too. My question is, is this enough variety? These are the things I can get affordibly. Anything else I am looking at over $2/lb. Even beef is costing me nearly $2/lb and that's on sale. I can only buy it on sale or I'd have to go ground, which i don't want to do. How terrible is it if I do have to give ground beef every now and then? I know it's not as good as whole pieces, but for the sake of the bank balance, and keeping variety, is ground meat the end of the world?
I'm feeding chicken every morning, and then one meal of turkey, pork, fish (sometimes two fish), and beef per week, which still leaves chicken for two dinners. I am giving a little bit of the organs per night, but no whole meals of them as I don't feel he's ready for that.
Should I change anything? Add anything? Take anything away? Am I going to hurt him in the long run if I can't add anything else? He seems to be doing well now. I intend to add Beef Liver and possibly Talapia every now and then to the mix, but as far as lamb, duck, venison, elk, buffalo, etc.. they are incredibly expensive.
Thanks in advance. :biggrin:
