He's been on it for a week now and looking fabulous!!! I wasn't expecting him to come around so quickly. But wow.... Yesterday was his "fast" so he's pissed this morning.

He's eating about 5lbs of chicken. Still on the thin side. I'd really like him to get more covering. He's been on whole chicken all week. TOday he's getting a whole chicken and then a lb of ground beef. His vet apt turned out great. They saw him the day before i completely switched him over and she was so impressed, shiney coat, clearer eyes and his skin isn't as dry. Still not completely unflaky but they said it could take him up to 90 days. So we'll see!!!

The clinic figured he needed to be eating at least a minimum of 5.5 lbs a day. Not bad. I buy the larger chickens and its easy since they are pre weighed for me. And then i just buy the 1lb rolls of ground beef. Everything else comes from the butcher down the road. Only the bones i get there aren't very meaty so i'm having to add in beef or pork meat. From what I've read and been told, i can give chicken, but for no longer than a 5 day interval, then he needs varriation. Wild hog is good, but was told to stay away from raised hogs. Too greesy and the bones shatter and splinter. So.. I'm keeping away from boned pork.

I'm slowly switching. So far its just Precious and Byeboer that are on the raw. Since we found out she isn't pregnat I went ahead and switched her over. She only eats 2 1/2 lbs a day and eats anything.

Faith, Tiegan, Vader and Kabuki, I'm keeping on their regular diets for a while until i get the hang of it.
