I would do the transition slowly personally - thats what I did when I changed all mine over. I actually started by giving them small pieces of raw meat alongside their usual food as I wanted them to be eating chunks of meat and bones rather than minced up meat a bones. They still have meals with chunks of meat (I sometimes use the Feline Future supplement http://www.felinefuture.com/ ), but I do use the minced packs quite often.

Cue Gillian and her very useful links.....

 :innocent:


The Food 4 Cats packs come in just over 400g blocks (sort of sausage shaped!). I've never tried to split while frozen, not sure it would be that easy, but I usually defrost the whole block (or several LOL!). Mine have about 50-100g (although some will eat 150g!) per serving (2 meals a day) but they are all adult cats.

This is one of the best links about raw feeding I think http://www.catinfo.org/ and this one is good too http://www.rawfedcats.org/

Thanks for the links Gillian, off to have a proper read in a mo...

One more question, they are currently being fed Whiskas Kitten which is what the rescue were feeding them, do I need to try and do a slow transition between the two or should they hopefully digest the raw quite easily anyway? :scared:

Raw Feeding
« Reply #1 on: July 29, 2009, 19:33:21 PM »
I am seriously considering a raw diet for our three monsters but need somebody who can explain to me in really simple terms what to do!  :evillaugh:

I'm looking at the Food 4 Cats website, and things are priced by the kilo but sold by 100g (I think! :doh:).

What I can't work out is how much I would need to feed 3 kittens per day :-: also, does it come in a block (like mince you buy from Tesco) and if so how do you split it while it's frozen without defrosting the lot?

Sorry for the stupid questions :shy: really grateful for any advice  :)
