Yes, a list of meats she can eat would be great as well as general nutrition info about what she should get in her diet each day/week.Okay, this may be a little long First here a base meal plan (courtesy of Sherry)- -4 days, bone in meats -2 days, muscle meats (one of which needs to be heart- heart is very important for the taurine) -1 meal 2oz liver (raw liver must only be fed once a week to prevent an overdose on Vitamin A) and 2oz of another organ (if possible) Other meal, whatever you like. 75% muscle meat 10% edible bone 10% organ 5% roughage Ok so does that mean for 4 days I feed her only bone in meats? Or 4 days, I feed her at least one bone in meal on that day? This morning I fed her a chicken wing (looks more like a drum stick... maybe it is) and a chicken gizzard. What else should I feed today? Can we work on a weekly meal plan for me? Thanks!

Or 4 days, I feed her at least one bone in meal on that day?Your second answer, over four days (or eight meals) you need to feed bone in meats. This morning I fed her a chicken wing (looks more like a drum stick... maybe it is) and a chicken gizzard. What else should I feed today? Can we work on a weekly meal plan for me? Thanks!Has she had any heart this week? Have you been trying anything else besides chicken yet? If not look at the list I gave you and try to start offering her a new meat. And of course we can start making a weekly menu! Here are some "menus" that were graduating worthy, you can look them over and start coming up with your own, then you can post it here, I'll look it over, and we'll work on it until we've got it where we want it.

I think the above must be a typo or misunderstanding It's 4 days(or 8 meals) of consumable bone a week

Well let's see if I can remember...
Yesterday she had...
Tuesday morning: Chicken drum stick and a chicken gizzard Tuesday night: Cornish Game Hen wing Wednesday morning: Chicken breast sliver, ground pork, chicken gizzard Wednesday night: ?
I think I gave her a heart on Monday. How many hearts a week can/should she have?
So far all together she has had chicken breast, chicken wing, chicken drum stick, cornish game hen wing and drum stick, ground pork, pork chops, chicken hearts, chicken livers, beef livers and frozen whole prey mice.

So is it better to stick to one type of meat per day? So like chicken wings, chicken breast, hearts, and gizzards in one day... and the next day pork and so on? I have been mixing it up with multiple meats a day.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, class took up my day.
I think I gave her a heart on Monday. How many hearts a week can/should she have? She should have at least two meals of heart a week.
So far all together she has had chicken breast, chicken wing, chicken drum stick, cornish game hen wing and drum stick, ground pork, pork chops, chicken hearts, chicken livers, beef livers and frozen whole prey mice. Alright looking good so far but I think it would be great if you could start introducing some new meats to her for more variety. Also you should start feeding her 3x a day for about 5 months, this may also help with her biting issue, she may not be getting fed enough. So, if you could start doing that it may help with that problem as well.
So is it better to stick to one type of meat per day? So like chicken wings, chicken breast, hearts, and gizzards in one day... and the next day pork and so on? I have been mixing it up with multiple meats a day. You can do that but as long as she is getting at least 3 different proteins a week it is fine.

She is doing great with everything. She is even eating more of the bones now.
This morning she is eating a few chunks of lean beef, a small piece of beef liver, and a chicken wing.
Yeah, I bought lean beef chunks and ground lamb so we'll see how that goes.
