Hello everyone, My name is Erinn, I'm a member of a few other boards but surprisingly no natural/raw feeding ones. I am mum to a Five-Ferret Army of Sailor, Pilot, Ranger, Diesel and Tank. Two of my five are currently on raw, and I'm working on getting the others over too. Sailor has lymphoma and adrenal which naturally makes her bowels quite irritable, so she is mostly on beef products as poultry tends to upset her tummy, though she does get the occasional chicken wing because she does love them. Diesel is my DMK rescue boy and he took to raw like a duck to water. When I was considering moving the kids over to a natural diet, I had started buying some meats and freezing them. Diesel climbed up my leg while I was bagging some meats in the kitchen one night and demanded that I give him some --- so I did and the only time he thinks about kibble now is when he feels like digging in it I look forward to getting to know you all here and learning more about natural diets!

Hi and welcome Erinn and military fuzzbutts Diesel obviously knows his own mind and what's good for him. Most of my guys won't give you anything for kibble either. I've never offered it to them to dig in though Is Sailor one of your furbabies on raw? Have you tried using some slippery elm to help her with her tempermental bowels? I found little Mischief could stomach rabbit, better than many of the meats when he was in the middle of an attack. Anyway, have fun, ask questions. The people here are friendly and always ready to jump in and give you a hand. Good luck. Hope to see you on board ciao

Hi Erinn! Welcome to the forum! I can just picture Diesel digging through the kibble going, "Nope, not this piece.. ewww not that one either.... yuck how can they put that stuff in here? Get it out! Get it out!" Glad to have you aboard! Cheers, Kim

Thanks everyone for the kind welcomes!
Heather, I haven't offered slippery elm to Sailor as a treatment --- but I will look more into it. Thanks for the tip. I've been looking for places to buy rabbit locally but I may have to settle for internetting it... boo!
Kim, I think that's exactly what Diesel is saying when he goes kibble-digging hehehe!!
