Could you give me some reviews? Your thoughts on it?
Cassiel has been on raw since I got her and am looking at viable alternatives since my groceries aren't carrying a lot of organ meats or things of that nature.
I'm also almost out of kibble for my cat so she'll be making a full time switch.
Help is appreciated.

Hare today is a great resource. The processing is very fast and everything comes nicely packaged and completely labeled. You're best to put in a really large order, because S&H costs are pretty expensive. My first order arrived Fedex and was delivered to my neighbor's house, since i was at work. By the time I got my package, there was minimal defrost. It's all really well packed. I order a variety (my own, not the variety pack they offer) of the course ground bones/meat/organ blends. Some are a hit, some are a flop. Your first order will probably be a mix of hits and flops; you just wont know what Cassiel likes until you offer it to her. My guys' two favorites are the course ground duck and the course ground rabbit. Duck hearts are also one of Brady's favorites; he steals and stashes them so Jack can't have any. Neither will touch the whole ground quail (it isn't dressed, so there's feathers in it) or the course ground goat I don't know what the problem is with goat.

So feathers could be a bad thing huh? But that would help with teeth right?

Feathers would be a good thing, if you can get her to eat them! Mine wouldn't even consider putting it in their mouths but it's certainly worth a few bucks to try on Cassiel

I'm also almost out of kibble for my cat so she'll be making a full time switch. Help is appreciated. Have you tried any local Asian or other Ethnic markets for organs? There may even be discount versions of those like I go to where you are. I can get rabbit, goat chunks, live fish, all kinds of cheap bulk whole fish, duck organs, pork organs, beef organs, whole duck...the list goes on and on. I haven't even utilized any of the other ethnic markets but a lot of them carry more goat and lamb stuff.

I use them almost exclusively (I still prefer store bought cornish game hens and I get my chicken hearts/gizzards from the store, as well as turkey breast). I started off with the 10 lb sampler and some chicken/duck necks and turkey/duck hearts and quail feet to see what they would like. After that, I started selecting my own products and my guys eat a wide range of stuff, (hare-today's quail was the only f/t prey they'd eat, ha). They have great customer service, and are on the ball to make sure they resolve any problems with shipping before it becomes a hassle for the customer, which is nice I love it, and my ferrets love it, so I put up with the prices (but I'm also lucky that - while I'm in school - I'm still at home and my parents don't even tolerate the idea of me paying for the majority of my stuff, so I get to spoil my guys rotten thanks to them!). I generally pay $100/month (including shipping; ~ 20lbs of just meat). However, sometimes I the bill can get up to $250 (~40+ of meat) if I need to do a major restock (Pixie does best on the duck/pheasant/goose which tend to be the most expensive).
