Does anyone know of a good, affordable website (or ideas of places in state) to get exotic meats? I'm looking for ground rabbit, ostritch, green tripe, etc. Anything really. I know these meats aren't necessities, but I am sure they add great nutrients. I have found websites to order them from, but they are pretty pricey and the shipping and handling kills. It would be nice to find a place here in Colorado that sells that kind of thing. Thanks!

You can always try and find hispanic or asain shops, but in my area most butchers carry all that stuff. Also check local co-ops on yahoo groups - http://dogfoodchat.com/forum/raw-feeding/1647-raw-feeding-co-op-list.html

You won't be able to get green tripe anywhere except a coop ordering it off the internet or buying it from a farmer that does his own slaughtering or getting it from a slaughterhouse. Green tripe is very nasty stuff and is not allowed inside a building that contains food for human consumption.

I suggest feeding whole rabbit rather than ground. It's cheaper and better for the dog. I used to buy whole rabbits that still had not been gutted.

Yea, I'd try an Asian Supermarket. I just went to one by my house, and bought a whole 1 pound fish and a pound of beef kidney for only about 2 bucks!:biggrin:

We will take you to the Asian market that we go to. It's not in the best part of town but they have some crazy stuff there! I still have yet to buy a whole
cows tongue!

sounds fun. Do you think they have rabbit and stuff like that?

 

[DaneMama]

Not sure. Can't say I remember exactly. Have you joined the Colorado Carnivores group yet? That is where we got the day old chicks for The Kitah...?

 

[Jem]

yes I have, still waiting to be accepted.

At the Asian market I went to, they didn't have any rabbit, nor did they have deer or stuff like that. But they did have a lot of whole fish, as well as organs. More meats from their native continent.
