Jude - Eating Raw!!

[fearless]

What's the occasion for more Jude pics? He's been doing so great with switching to raw I had to brag! So the marvelous Jackie has been mentoring us on how to switch. I couldn't have got here without her help... THANKS JACKIE! Anyways so today was our first chicken (minus gizzard pieces earlier) and she told me to give him chunks and see if he ate them. He didn't, he went for the whole darn thigh instead! Yeah go Jude! Anyways here are some pictures of him eating raw and some cute ones I managed to snap as well that I had to share.


RAWR computer desk, I got you!

Atleast that pathetic slide is good for something?


Yeah go Jude! Get that chicken!

Oh I'm so happy for you an Jude!!!

Most kits LOVE bones and chewing and eating

So glad he took to it right away - this is often the most difficult step - large chunks you are more than half way there to a raw diet

[Sherry]

You go JUDE!!! What a great job

[fearless]

I'm so excited! I thought he would go for the chunks and I'd have to cut up the rest, boy was I wrong. I heard him eating [his cage is by the computer] look over and there he is gnawing away on the thigh. I grabbed my camera quickly and snapped a few and left him to eat so I wouldn't disturb him. I wanna grab him up and kiss him for being so good.

Looks like you aren't going to have to worry about giving him whole pieces of meat any more ;D

[Heather]

congratulations...you go Jude. You show them what those wee little teeth can do
ciao

[fearless]

Yeah I'm excited. I didn't think it would be this quick, I feel like I could give him a live mouse and he'd go for it. lol! He's such a good boy. Man I dreaded this... my two old boys snubbed their noses at cooked meat in soups. I'm just in shock how easy it is for kits. I'm surprised more don't try raw diets especially when they are young.

And here I thought I would be stuck with yucky kibble for weeks while he tried the meats. Now I have these two huge bags of kibble and no need for them, how long is this cr-- erm crud good for anyways? Forever?

[katt]

Yaay! ;D
BTW Check the bag of kibble most of them have a Satisfaction Guarantee. Marshalls ie Guarantees a Full Refund at any point if you are unsatisfied. Just return the unused kibble to the retailer and they have to refund you. Or oyu can donate it to a ferret shelter.

I don't know if you have a food bank(for people) near you, but our pet store takes pet food specifically for that purpose. That way, someone who is down on their luck can also get food for their animals when they have to use the food bank for themselves.
You can also donate to shelters.

[fearless]

Ohh good idea, I might ship it to the ferret shelter it's not close but it's worth it.

Hey, Jude! (Couldn't resist.) Congratulations!!! He looks so young and excited about raw.

[fearless]

That's how he got his name Hubby will not say his name without saying "Hey Jude, Jude de Jude Jude Jude Judey!" In the tone of the song, he's a nerd.

He loves it! I left him over night with the thigh, he ate all the cubes I made, and the bone is demolished! He still has some meat left on it for now, but I'll be giving him beef or pork tonight, depends on which I grab to thaw.

All of mine were kits when I switched them over, but Oz, Fiddler and Shiloh took some switching because they were still in a 7-10 month old range. When Hiro came home, he never had to eat any kibble because he went for the chicken livers in the bowl like they were his favorite ice cream.

Hooray Jude!!! You get that chicken!!! He's such a cute babyfuzz
