I have a picture, let me see if I can find it. I would say about the size of a silver dollar... I'm not sure how else to compare the size. It was a rather large chunk, mostly cause it was skin. She did eat a tad more here and there after she ate that whole chunk, not much just a nibble. Then she went to bed.

Alrighty, I'll do that =] It was so weird cause it wasn't even on the plate, it was off to the side cause Jude was working on it before he got distracted. It had no kibble on it... and she ate it.

Hungry probably got the best of her That, and she wanted to know why Jude was eating it

She had kibble she could have kept digging for in the plate, but she choose to eat the skin. But yeah probs wanted to know why Jude liked it so much. I'm waiting for them to stop snuggling in the new bedding and go try again.

Great! You should expect some stinky stools (and dark ones from the heart). All normal. If they're weird in color, don't worry too much. It's just the tummies adjusting.

Alright I cut the pork into fine strips and put some gizzard in the bowl, of course Jude went right for the gizzard, Zoey is very interested in it. She hasn't tried any yet but she keeps trying to steal the gizzard Jude has, he's not letting her have it. lol.

Oh and I meant to add, if she doesn't try the pork in the next few hours I'll try kibble sprinkles, then blend it in the food processor and if she still doesn't try I'll try adding whole kibble.

Alright so Zoey has been eating really well today! I don't want to speak too soon but she's been grabbing pieces of pork/gizzard out of the food dish and stashing them in corners of the cage. She is currently chowing down on some chicken. I put the combination of all three in a food processor [seperately] and put them all in the same food dish. She's eaten a little of the gizzard and the chicken, not sure if she's touched the pork but probably has. She also took the chicken thigh bone (some meat left on it) and tried to stash it. I can see that now I'm going to need a feeding den. lol. I just need to look at a way to clip it to the cage so that it doesn't move around, my cage is too small for a large one on the bottom level with the size of the litter box I have and the pointless slide. I'm so proud of Zoey!
Do you think tomorrow I should skip the kibble? She's eating the meat now, she doesn't just search for the kibble. I did put the kibble in the bowl as an encourager.

I think if she is willingly eating the raw on her own, you can ditch the kibble. Hopefully it'll make her hungrier too!

Hopefully. I'm waiting for them to finish up what's left in the bowl so I don't have to pick out the kibble.
