Update? They seem to have pretty much accepted everything you have given them so we are getting close to you graduating. Post a full weekly menu (weights and meat types) and read up on your general raw diet knowledge on the FB page and forum as I'm going to start quizzing you . Quizzing is something we are slowly introducing and I think it might be a good idea in your case as things are moving so quickly with your youngsters.

Our basic weekly menu is: Sunday am soup with organs pm bone in meal Monday am Bone in meal pm bone in meal Tuesday am bone in meal pm muscle meat wednesday am Bone in meal pm Bone in Meal Thursday am Bone in meal pm heart Friday am bone in meal pm soup with organs Saturday am bone in meal pm muscle meat
they normally eat between 5-8 oz each meal (we always give them 8 oz soupy they get more because i blend 8 oz of meat with water)
Pork belly is by far the favorite they eat chicken (breast, wings,feet), beef, duck, pork neckbones, rabbit , and cornish hen
I try to give them something different each meal and not the same meat twice in a row so they stay eating the different ones. organs are harder they have beef heart and liver chicken heart liver and kidneys, the livers and kidneys from when I do Cornish hens and we just had Turkey liver and kidneys

could you edit that post and list the types of meat they are willing to eat as well as types of organs underneath the menu?
Neck is really bone heavy. They are probably being lazy. They learn that if they wait out something they don't want then they get something better at their next meal. The best way around that is to feed the same thing for a couple of meals.

weights: Smokey 2 lbs 10 oz/ 2 lbs 11 oz/ 2 lbs 13 oz/ 2 lbs 14 oz/ 2 lbs 14 oz Bandit 2 lbs 9 oz/ 2 lbs 7 oz/ 2 lbs 9 oz/ 2 lbs 11 oz / 2 lbs 12 oz Rose 1 lb 9.5 oz/ 1 lbs 10.5 oz/ 1 lbs 12 oz/ 1 lbs 14 oz / 1 lbs 14 oz
I'm finally getting around more so I'll be doing the feeding them again and will have weights on the food... Is it normal for them to be leveling out on their weight and not eating as much I have been out of commission for the most part but Dave says he doesn't think they've been eating as much (he didn't weigh the food so I can't be sure) but they've maintained their weight and bandit even gained an ounce

As long as they are maintaining weight and you are maintaining the balance in their diet then things are still progressing well.

ok, I'm going to start quizing you on some stuff. If you don't know the answer you can usually find the info on the forum or the fb page somewhere. If you run out of heart and can't find any locally what can you replace it with?
