scalesntails 118 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Heart is actually muscle like meat rather than offal. Like any food though you need to feed other things too as it may be lacking in some vitamins. Variety is always best. I used to have a water monitor and the staple of his diet was lamb heart but I made sure I fed him other things here and there too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abridge 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Pig Hearts are no problem to feed, however, it's best to freeze them for 24-48 hours to remove the risk of pseudo-rabies in the same way you'd freeze beef to kill off neospora Hope this helps..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 i feed heart all the time , lamb heats are a good winter feed as they have more fat around them and pig hearts are a good summer feed as there very low in fat , i feed mine raw we mince them into icecream tubs and freeze them down for 1 week then feed raw with a bit of csj as a mixer we also feed raw tripe and household scrapes and all our dogs do well on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
