Hello my weasel is on 10th day of no kibble whatsoever, I'm trying to figure out how to introduce larger chunks into her diet, because she's currently on commercial raw, I am starting to notice a stronger smell from her mouth, and am hoping I can just throw chicken wings to her and she'll instinctively just eat them....however I know this is just a fantasy. so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
T.i.a

What is her commercial raw like? Is it grinds and in which form, patties that get crumbled and smushed up, or little nuggets?
Have you ever tried giving her slivers or small pieces of actual Frankenprey?

Its pretty mushy, there are some smaller chunks, however Lexi doesn't seem to really enjoy those yet. I'm vegan so I don't particularly have meat to share with Lexi, didnt dawn om me until JUST now it may be a good idea to get some for her.

If it's all been soupy/puree-like so far, she might take a bit to take to the large chunks. How old is your girly again? Four years, wasn't it?
Unlike with kits, she might not take to the large chunks right off the bat, and you may need to gradually introduce bigger sizes to her, starting with small slivers and working your way up in size. Give it a shot with some bigger pieces first to see if she'll accept them, and if not, then start with smaller.
Chopping up some boneless chicken thighs are pretty easy to start off with, since chicken is a mild protein, but if there's a particular protein in the commercial she really, really loves, you could start with a muscle meat of one of those too.
