Really well. THe beef hearts did very well and I found a pack of just chicken hearts. they're going to get liver tomorrow because they need some. They got chicken wings and lambchops and organ soup (not enough liver in the soup though) the last few days..

Ok good....just wanted to point out, liver is very rich so once a week feedings of liver is more than enough...if you feed too much liver they get black, tarry and liquid poops as well as an overload of vitamin A which isnt good for them (I know this b/c I learned it the hard way lol....my little girl was eating wayyyy too much liver and she started to have some issues because of it) so I just wanted to mention this
Just keep up on the variety of meats and your well on your way!

Wow, this whole process has been pretty easy... they're just about eating everything I throw in there except the kidney. They get liver one meal once a week and a variety of other bone in/chunk meats the rest of the week... They all seem very healthy

ok well you seem pretty close to graduation then!!!! Dont worry too much about the liver, my guys dont eat it plain either, so I blend it into weekly soups with other things they like, so you can do something such as this Now the next step is to send me a weekly feeding sched., and include one day for organs, usually everyother day should include some sort of bone-in meat since bone is an essential part of their diet for example: Mon: cornish game hens (bone-in) Tues: beef Wed: chicken wings (bone-in) thurs: pork Fri: rabbit (bone-in) Sat: chicken breast Sun: hearts and gizzards (organ day)
