Is there any areas you feel that we still need to work on?

I am still having troubles with them eating their bone-in meals. Even when I chop them up into smaller pieces. Tonight I figured I wouldn't feed them and just leave them to their devices with the bones they have built up from this mornings meal. Is this a good idea?
(If I don't get a response tonight then I will just go ahead and feed them their evening meal)

I would always make sure to feed meat with the bones. It's not good for them to eat a lot of bone without the muscle meat mixed in. You can fast them for a meal and then try the bone in meal again in the morning to see if that encourages them to eat.

Did fasting for a meal help any?

Can you post what meats/organs you are using? Heart is fed as a muscle meat, but we feed it for taurine too. You need 1 1/2 meals of liver, and a secreting organ

Are you still with me? I need a final menu from you with type of meat/organs/bone listed so we can make sure everything is balanced properly

So for meats I am using things such as chicken breast, ground turkey, ground beef, stew beef etc. For the 'organ' I am using beef brains and the liver is pork liver currently.

And the hearts are chicken hearts? If you can post a full menu such as Monday - chicken wing am/stew beef pm
Then we can graduate you unless you have any other concerns?

The hearts this time around are beef hearts. I just put in an order for another month of food for them so when I get that in and make it up I will let you know what their menu will be!

Monday: AM - Chicken necks PM - Duck Feet Tuesday: AM- Ground Beef PM- Ground Atlantic cod Wednesday: AM & PM- Mix of beef tails and duck feet Thursday: AM- Beef Kidney and Heart PM- Chicken Neck Friday: AM- Duck Feet PM- Chicken neck Saturday: AM- Chicken pieces (variety: legs, wings,neck) PM- Beef Kidney and Liver Sunday: AM- Ground Turkey/Beef/Cod PM- Chicken bone pieces.
It is highly unusual for there to be so much duck feet but I have recently come into a lot of them. Next week the duck feet is most likely to be replaced with small pork bones and winglettes.
