Well what a difference a day makes.
They all had the chicken wings yesterday morning too. Can you believe Max ate his in 10 minutes? and on his own! What a difference from the hour of the day before. Barney tackled his much better aswell, and Sapphi in her usual fashion hoovered them all up.
They had a mix of liver, kidney and heart yesterday for the first time, and here's another first....Sapphi was the last to finish.
She was continually eating she just took so long for some reason.
I never bashed or did anything to the bones as i felt by doing this you are doing the job their teeth should be doing also creating shards of bone. So i just used to leave them to it within half an hour the whole lot was gone.
Just remember to yourself out in the wilds no-one is there to bash or alter there food for them, they just have to get on with it.
I agree. I only bashed the bones for Coco for the first week or two until she got the hang of it - now it takes her no time to demolish a chicken wing
Its their first week on BARF, though I did try them with a chicken wing a few weeks ago and the boys were useless. Someone suggested bashing them at first, which is what I did. They all seem to be well on the way to good crunching now, so when I prepare the next lot I won't bother bashing them.
I didn't do the lamb ribs and they coped ok with them, so they should be fine now.
I weighed them all last night when we went training. Sapphi looks like she's put on weight and she has a bit, but Max has put on 3kg in a week.
So both of them will be cut back, but Barney has lost a bit of weight, not much about 300g so I'm going to keep him as he is and weigh him again next week, unless anyone thinks I should do differently?
