Close to two weeks of raw behind and Wookie (almost 5 months lab girl) is doing great :smile:
We've found out that she likes almost everything we've fed;
- Chicken (leg quarters, breast quarters) -> no problems
- Turkey (so far only necks) -> no problems
- Cornish game hen -> no problems
- Whole sardines (doesn't eat heads though :biggrin: ) -> no problems
- Pork (picnic roast) -> no problems
- Beef ribs (only beef so far, not really meaty) -> no problems
- Lamb breast (horribly fatty) -> no problems
- Venison (slightly freezer burned) -> no problems
- Egg (including the shell) -> no problems, or don't know yet; she just had her first one
- Beef liver (not a big piece, but still) -> no problems
Quite a lot of variety for a beginner, but she doesn't seem to mind and a fairly nice amount of bone from leg quarters have kept stools relatively hard (even after lamb and beef ribs).
But then... pork kidney. Total no go. I admit that it was a whole pork kidney, but she didn't get any further than licking it. After few minutes hungry puppy got chicken.
The question is:
How do you feed kidneys (or other non liver organs), especially to picky eaters?
Should we try tough love (only thing offered that evening), chop it and mix it w/ ground beef or something, blend it (w/?), try beef kidney, or just find other organs to feed?
I love our great start, but don't really know what would be the best way to deal w/ organs...
