    Sorry to butt in... but I've been reading all the replies because I hope to convince my parents into feeding raw. I'm planning on making a PowerPoint with all the information that I've gathered, including prices etc. Ok I have one question: "For very fast eaters (like ones who gulp down food withought chewing it), would boneless chicken be okay for them?"

    Yes, boneless is fine. But they will need some souce of calcium.

    You'd be surprised, though. My three are major gulpers! Kiki is the worst. Today they got their first chicken leg, bones and all. Kiara took the longest to chew it!

    Also, I fed it FROZEN as an extra percaution. If it's frozen and big enough to where they can't swallow - they HAVE to chew!

    I think I read (correct me if I'm wrong) If you have a "gulper" feed them large amounts and make them chew? (something along those lines, don't remember word for word) Sorry, dont know about the boneless or not, but I read something about that.

    Okay, thank you! Who knows? Maybe Molly will take more than 10 seconds to eat her food!

    You may want to try it out! I'd start with a raw frozen chicken filet. For me, I was paranoid so I started them on raw fish. Nala swallowed it whole, Simba chewed it, and Kiara put it in her mouth, spit it out, a billion times and then finally ate it!

    I don't know how Astra is going to react if we do give it a try. She is really picky as it is, so I hope she'll like this food. I'm mostly worried about Prince and Molly. They eat like it's their last meal on earth!
