Yes! Please do! Best way I have found to introduce prey is to cut it up and then hand feed them, get the blood and their mouths and usually after they taste they are pretty good.

Had organs last night and seems girls are eating less, should i be concerned? Mimi loves her organs so im guessing its spazz, and i know she loves her bone in foods, last night i put a little salmon oil on the organs to see but still seems wasnt alot eaten, so 4oz given 2oz eaten

We had beef for the second time last night and yay it went great, 4oz served 3oz eaten where last time they hardly touched it, i was holding a piece with my thumb and pointer finger rubbing it on spazz lips and she latched on, started chewing and when i would go to tug it away she practically crawled into my hand staying latched on to her beef like "no mommy tis my moo moo give it back" lol so yeah happy momma, excited for tomorrow to see how our fiest whole prey goes...the mice are around 2oz should i thaw out two or one to try? Maybe thaw a second bone in meat to mix in or no?

Thaw 2 for sure need to have one for each lol! It doesn't hurt to have more thawed if they like them and they are healthy so do not baby them and give them a back up meal if they don't take to it right away. Katt will actually repeatedly feed hers the same thing for days until they take to it. It works!
