That's why I use an old hand grinder that dates itself to the 1940's ;D ;D. Cheap often doesn't do the job and plastic parts have replaced metal making it harder to grind bone....oh just a word do not put bone in your blender (though I'm sure you know that). Unfortunately, I don't know much about the various grinders anymore. Hopefully, someone else can pop in. Once people were able to get commercial grinds, there is a lot less information out there for good grinders for bone

Most likely the older the better to be honest! Check flea markets, yard sales, antique shops, used shops, etc. Out of curiosity- are you planning on making a grind a permanent part of their diet? If not, why bother? If I do the odd home made grind, I've got an electric grinder, and I buy bonemeal.

yes, I plan to give them course grind as well. Mine like it. I think variety sometimes helps. They will eat the fine right now. Plus, doing the dog too. Know bones are good, but there are times it can come in handy.
Sherri you are gonna make me go shopping ain't ya? LOL! whats the point when you can order online these days. ;D
I just want a hand crank that will take some bone and not just meat. I'll be feeding mostly whole raw and whole prey. But I also want that option there as well. yeah maybe I make myself work too hard lol, but it'd be easy for a babysitter to have it portioned out and plop it in without them knowing whats truly in it ;D ;D ;D ;D

In that case- yes, you ARE going to have to go out looking most likely You'll want the old hand cranks that fit onto the side of a table. Unless, of course, you are prepared to pay several hundred dollars for one of the commercial grade electric ones ;D |
