This is a chicken wing that I used kitchen shears and a hammer to break up the bones. I kinda mixed everything all up. Is this how it is supposed to look? There were some sharp shards and it scared me ha! Any opinion is appreciated. Attachments:

It's probably fine for her. I know those bones sometimes look like lethal weapons but they can handle them without much trouble. There is a learning curve to learn how to eat bone but the kits get used to it quickly ciao

don't worry; sometimes I still get a bit :-\ about some of the bone pieces I see (I've even caved and removed some of the worst ones, because I couldn't convince myself to give them *that* particular bit of bone when it looked more of a weapon than food, LOL), but ferts (and any carnivore) adapt quickly and I've never had a serious issue (we've had a few stuck in teeth and the like, and that kind of stuff). Kibble, on the other hand, had a tendency to scrape their throats bloody on occasion :C not fun.

One advantage they have is the stomach acids are really strong, and more likely to round off the edges of the bone prior to digestion than anything else

You do realize you can leave it out for quite a while before tossing it? That way she has a nibbly if she wakes up hungry
