After a week of 100% raw diet, is really enjoying her mealtimes - even though I have become stressed out in making sure she has enough variety and quantity!
My OH looks in the fridge most nights after work and everything he picks up he gets the response "thats for the dog!"
Anyway still confused about the amount in weight she should be getting. Some say 3% of ideal adult weight which equates to around 420g per day at 14kg or at Jinleys age range (20-24 weeks) 5.5%-6.5% of bodyweight which is around 100g more! Is that adult ideal or current weight (she is 9kg).
She has a meal plan which looks at variety over a 14 day period and I have given vegetables a miss as she turns her nose up at the food when they are added (although she will eat the odd carrot I understand unless they are mulch they are of no nutrient value)
On a daily basis she has 20% of RMB which is generally chicken wing (my butcher is getting some wild rabbit for us) and the other 80% made up of meat/muscle and offal in smaller quantities - I have found a market stall nearby which sells tripe.
2 Eggs a week and pilchards/sardines replace a meat meal. She has fish oil capsule with added Vit C daily and a tsp of Cod Liver Oil with Vit A,D and E. Am I missing anything?
Am I right in saying that other bones such as lamb ribs are classed as recreational because she does not eat the bone, merely strips the meat off them then buries the bone!
Therefore should not be included in the 20%?
Do egg shells need to be included in the 20% RMB or can they be extra? I bake them in the oven then grind them to a powder and add a spoon to mince.
Thanks for your help. Off to do my OH beans on toast for tea
Jinley has some Irish beef from the bargain shelf at Tesco!
Pat and a very contented Jinley!
