flipbull 1,139 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Is feeding 1 or 2 chicken carcasses a day healthy for a gowing pup. I used to feed my pup 1 a day not if he had other bone though. Now he is a week off being 4 months and 21" tts and he can polish 2 off no problem. What I am asking would that be to much bone in his diet. Does seem that the cacass are more like cartlidge but I am no expert? Also I can get fresh carcasses for 50P a bag usually with about 20 carcasses in. There is still some meat on them to. They do come with quite a lot of skin on but I only give him a bit of it as he seems to regurgetate his meal back up when eaten sometimes. I was gonna buy some raw chicken mince off the net £30 for 56LB. But when I read the ingredients it says it was chicken carcasses and chicken thighs. I know thighs are quite meaty, which would be a good thing but for all I know the amount of thigh could be minimal. Would be good to hear what other members think on this matter.

white van man 3,187 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I only feed 1 mate. If I feed too much bone he struggles to crap it out so I give 1 carcass split in half. One piece for breakfast one for tea as well as some carbs, mince, tripe etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Variety is key. Mine will eat 3-4 carcass in one sitting no problem. Don't feed them every day though. Just mix it up. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flipbull 1,139 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks for the replies lads. Do any of you feed chicken mince if so what part of the chicken is used in it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saluki246 1,053 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Chicken is grand, but you need more in his diet them just that. Veg, pasta whole meal bread, good complete, oily fish, beef, rabbits ect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Chicken mince is generally the carcass minced. Meat, skin and bone. It's a good base diet. Bang some fatty red meat in and some tins of mackeral in tomatoe sauce and you have a half decent diet. Few bits of veg and pasta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flipbull 1,139 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 He gets all the other things foods mentioned above apart from tripe. Been phoning a rew suppliers today for tipe/mince base but havent found it at any decent price. a fella in ipswich had nit for 54p a lb but dont deliver to Liverpool. He wont entertain liver or kidney even cut up in tiny pieces the little fooker will either pic it out or turn his nose up (I wish he would eat it as most raw diets I have looked at say 5% offal). Think thats what I was trying to get at Gaz buying chicken mince (carcass) and using it as a base as he does tend to like white meat more. But where people are saying dont feed carcass every day the mince would be carcass so I couldnt feed that daily. Sometimes he turns his nose up to raw red meat/ and fatty off cuts so I do still have to feed hime some Beta puppy just to get something down him. I do throw beef dripping in with his foods if he is not eating fat. On a plus note he is starting to get some meat and muscle on him the fussy fooker. Do you think he could eat Gain 28 now he is a just over a week of reaching 4 months. Only want to use this as a back-up if he being fussy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 You could feed chicken mince every day. Mine gets a pound of chicken mince pretty much every day. Then other stuff on top. Offal, pasta, Veg, bones, tripe, fish etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chook1 184 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 This thread should help you. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/325143-who-uses-the-bloke-in-the-white-sprinter-on-saturdays-in-liverpool/ Tripe is 50p a pound, he sells it in 2lb blocks, beef is the same, chicken is 30p a pound again sold in 2lb blocks out of all the suppliers i've tried of raw minces the stuff he sells is better - my dogs eat it no problem, he does tend to run low on tripe quickly though, i know he had non in yesterday even though he stocks up on Fridays. Try heart as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
