So I finally signed up for a mentor and am going to do the switch (dance).
I signed up on December 28th. Though I am still waiting for a mentor I have already started trying to do the switch. My mom has just graduated from having her mentor and has offered to help me while I wait for mine. (Thanks LadyZinn ) Also thanks to sherry for informing me about this part of the thread I can write in while waiting so I can get help with whatever I need and what not. I have been keeping a daily journal on the switch to raw and stuff like that. I think I will do updates on here too so everyone knows what is going on and can give me pointers and what not till I get my awesome mentor. So I guess I should give the run down on what I have been up to.
So I have made the soupy mix. My mom taught me how. I used skinless chicken breast (deboned), chicken liver, and turkey hearts. Mom showed me how to blend and make them into ice cubes that equal an OZ of food per cube. I am on my 2nd day of soupy feeding switch thing. let me show you what I have been writing in my log so I can make sure I have been keeping a good log.
*~Raw Feeding Log~*
Day 1 (1/03/2014)
Morning: Took kibble away for 5 hrs before trying meat soup mix. It was suposta be 2 hrs but oi got sidetracked and forgot I had taken the food away. I put kibble back in the cage after morning soup feeding attempt. Started with putting some on their nose then trying to spoon feed them.
Sadie:
weight 1.58lbs
ate 7 baby spoon full of meat soup mix
She loved it
Angel:
weight 1.54 lbs
ate 1/2 baby spoon full of meat soup mix
will try it but really dose not care for it
Gizzmo:
weight 1.56 lbs
would not eat or try any soup mix. would not lick it off her nose. kept trying to get away.
was acting like it was poison and I was trying to kill her with it.
Night:
kibble has been in all afternoon and I will leave it in over night like normal.
Sadie:
ate 12 baby spoon full of meat soup mix.
still loving it
Angel:
ate 1 baby spoon full of meat soup mix
still really is meh about it
Gizzmo:
put some more on her nose and she finally licked it off. she licked the spoon and then spit the meat soup on my shirt.
she is a drama queen
Day 2 (1/04/2014)
Morning:
forgot to take kibble out this morning.
Sadie:
ate 1 Oz of soup mix
thinks it is just the best stuff ever
*In cage soup & kibble - gave 1 oz and left a full bowl*
Gizzmo:
put some on her nose. she took 4 licks off the spoon. did not spit this time
she is still a drama queen though
Angel:
ate 1 1/2 baby spoon full of meat soup mix
is still not really into it though
Night:
food left in cage all afternoon. will leave food in over night like normal. I will also be leaving 1oz of soup mix in Sadie's cage along with kibble.
Sadie:
at 1oz of meat soup mix off a plate. licked plate clean!
she is so loving this.
Angel:
ate 2 baby spoon full of soup mix & licked the little lid to the container clean. I will try a plate next time.
she is warming up
Gizzmo:
ate 2 1/2 baby spoon full of soup mix. I have also not tried the plate yet.
I think we may be having a break threw but I don't know yet.
~UPDATE ON SADIE~
she licked the plate clean so I gave her another OZ of soup. It is 11:58 I will check again before I go to bed and if it is clean will give her another. mom said to let it be thick like pudding this time to see how she dose instead of adding a bit of water to make it soupy.
