Feeding My Pets
I took my two baby pet bunnies to the vet. I noticed that Bucky loved Ebbie a bit too much. Vet gave the bunnies an exam and recommended that I wait another month to neuter them and in the meantime separate the two little lovers. This is going to be a long month for them as they enjoyed each other’s companionship very much.
During the exam, the vet advised that I was feeding them too much pellets and they should have more fresh green leafy vegetables. She explained that she asked her clients when did they see rabbits in the wild eating pellets? She’s right, when do we see rabbits or any animal eating any kind of prepared feed in the wild?
When was the last time you’ve either observed or saw a special on wolves or coyotes eating a bag of Purina, Science Diet, or any kind of prepared food? We see them eating deer, antelope, rabbits, including any number of prey animals. I wonder how many die from eating their raw bones?
I’ve been feeding my dogs and now my cat, a raw diet. I feed beef, chicken, turkey, cornish hen, smelts, and pork. I’ve observed cleaner teeth, better skin and coat condition. I thought this would be hard and complicated. It’s very easy. It’s a bit pricey but way cheaper than dentals at the vet. If you’d like good information about the proper way to feed your dog, try B-naturals.
Lucky Cat, is now over a year old and he doesn’t throw up hair balls, his litter box does not reek, his coat is not excessively oily but is very shiny, and has no dandruff. I rarely see him drinking water though he likes to play with it. He doesn’t need to drink much water because it’s there in his food.
I also don’t feed my birds pellets. I feed them seeds, lots of fresh vegetables and sprouted seeds.
Feeding our pets shouldn’t be complicated. We are smart enough to feed our children, we are smart enough to feed our pets.

Interesting. I used to feed my birds seeds and fresh stuff and also my rabbits but haven’t tried it with my cats. I’m going to read up on it
