I plan to use the rule of averages method to feed our four once they get fully transitioned from soup to raw next month. Currently I plan to feed frankenprey, but I will try to incorporate some whole prey and/or complete grinds and will adjust these meals according to the table.
Current weights: - Lamb (F, 2 years): 613g - Wolf (M, 3 years): 935g - Bear (M, DOB 4/30/17): 801g - Ruby (F, DOB 4/30/17): 686g
Amount of food needed per day/week: Females: 1-3oz per day Males: 2-5oz per day (I'm banking on the higher end since Bear is a tummy with teeth) Total per day: 6-16oz Total per week: 2.6-7lbs
Weekly meals: 9 bone-in = 54-144oz 2 muscle = 12-32oz 1-2 heart = 12-32oz 1-2 organ = 6-16oz liver, 6-16oz other
Weekly shopping list: 2lbs hearts 2lbs organs (1lb liver, 1lb other) 2lbs muscle 3.5-9lbs bone-in
Please double check my math! Let me know if I've forgotten anything! <3

Bear and Ruby are very, very likely to eat a lot more than the averages rule, since they're still kits of not even 4 months old yet. Kits can eat up to 4x the amount of adults, so yes, Bear and likely Ruby too, are indeed tummies with teeth right now.
