Raw Diet Update

After some trial and error we have found that Lucah has responded pretty well to the whole Raw Diet thing. We purchase chicken backs from Taylor's in Sierra Madre and buy legs and thighs from the Super Market.

He can handle about 23 oz or so a day, any more and he does not respond well. He has reduced shedding and seems to be slimmer. Things like runny nosed and eye gunk are a thing of the past. I do admit his breath isn't as good as it use to be, but brushing helps with all that.

The next phase would be to incorporate some sort of organ meat. We have used beef liver, but I feel we could get a little more exotic. A market close to us sells kidneys, stomachs, hearts...etc. and I will start looking into those options. Certain minerals and vitamins that are needed can be found in organs.

We shall see.

Update

It's been like a year since our last post and I just wanted to say everything is fine. Our newest development is that we started feeding Lucah just raw chicken at dinner. Though many people look at us as if we have grown two heads when we tell them the advantages so far are evident. His digestion is so much better and normal. He seems to be happier and sheds less, but we will see what happens. I'll post newer pics soon.
