Bucket o Beef Whole Mince

[Deleted]

Does anyone else use a whole mince? I get mine from Bucket o Beef, and they deliver. Yay!
I have a whole chicken mince, and a whole chicken/beef mix mince. It includes organs and bones. No additives. I have four kilos of it, frozen in small portions.

Not sure how much of it he should be eating. He seems to be thinner than when I got him but I don't know if that's because it's more summery weather now?

I use commercial raw in the mornings And yes, given that you are going into summer, he'll have slimmed right down. They can gain/lose up to about 40% of their body weight seasonally. Might be a good idea to weigh him monthly and keep track of it so you've got something to refer back to and not be so surprised next summer!

I was aware there'd be some weight loss but wow. It seemed intense. Feel like a silly newb.

That's okay! It can get very worrying, especially if you aren't sure whether the loss is seasonal or illness. That's where keeping track of it comes in handy.
Our 'bino Vincent was 2 1/2 lbs summer weight, 3 1/2 lbs winter weight. Frodo is just over 3lbs summer and 4 1/2lbs winter ;D
Others are no where near as drastic in their seasonal change.
