Alternative to RAW diet

I am very interested in trying out the whole prey diet! You just let them eat everything, even the beak? I wonder what I would do with a whole bag of small dead animals and no pets to eat them if they didn't like it haha.

They eat everything...start out with the small prey such as day old quail and graduate from there...and maybe pinky mice or fuzzy mice...zuri is so much happier with the prey...I have a video of her doing the happy dance but it is private so i don't get hate mail ;)

You could always do what I do with food my cats won't eat. I give it to the vets office to feed their colony of feral cats. I swear I'm single handedly fattening them up. LOL

I do that Arline, but no one wants whole prey ;)

the No Kill shelter would not take it and I'll ask my vet's tech tomorrow...I can always donate the bags to someone who feeds whole prey on the forum or elsewhere...all I would ask is for shipping.

Well maybe that's the difference, feral colony vs shelter cats. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone that can use the food you have. Good luck Paige.

Ooooh I want to see it! Maybe share the link with us?? I saw a video on youtube of a Serval doing the happy dance with a mouse :) It was so cute!

I don't understand the hate around feeding our animals what is natural to them. HELLO?!? They are carnivores. What I can't stand is vegetarians or vegans who insist their animals must follow their own feeding beliefs! Nothing against being a vegetarian or vegan at all!!!!! But I have met some people who feed their dogs vegetarian dog food....

That wasn't bad to watch Paige. I love watching them throw things around like that. So cute. Zuri is such a pretty girl. She does like her whole prey too.
The few times I tried pinkie mice on Dash, I just got the stink eye and look like "Really Mom, Really???" Then he tried to bury them and walked away. LOL
