Raw Feeding

[Gillian Harvey]

I would do the transition slowly personally - thats what I did when I changed all mine over. I actually started by giving them small pieces of raw meat alongside their usual food as I wanted them to be eating chunks of meat and bones rather than minced up meat a bones. They still have meals with chunks of meat (I sometimes use the Feline Future supplement http://www.felinefuture.com/ ), but I do use the minced packs quite often.

The Food 4 Cats packs come in just over 400g blocks (sort of sausage shaped!). I've never tried to split while frozen, not sure it would be that easy, but I usually defrost the whole block (or several LOL!). Mine have about 50-100g (although some will eat 150g!) per serving (2 meals a day) but they are all adult cats.

This is one of the best links about raw feeding I think http://www.catinfo.org/ and this one is good too http://www.rawfedcats.org/

Thanks for the links Gillian, off to have a proper read in a mo...

One more question, they are currently being fed Whiskas Kitten which is what the rescue were feeding them, do I need to try and do a slow transition between the two or should they hopefully digest the raw quite easily anyway?

I am seriously considering a raw diet for our three monsters but need somebody who can explain to me in really simple terms what to do! 

I'm looking at the Food 4 Cats website, and things are priced by the kilo but sold by 100g (I think! ).

What I can't work out is how much I would need to feed 3 kittens per day also, does it come in a block (like mince you buy from Tesco) and if so how do you split it while it's frozen without defrosting the lot?

Sorry for the stupid questions really grateful for any advice
