Balancing A Rabbit

[Saf]

So I found this pre ground rabbit mix and both cats loved it but I know it's lacking in things so what do I need to get it balanced:

Here's the info on it:

A healthy meal based on 100% rabbit.

Composition:
100% Rabbit; Meaty backs, heart, lung, kidney, liver, ear.

Roughly 70% meat, 15% bone and 15% organs.

Moisture 63%

Ash 2.99%

Protein 18%

Calcium 0.65%

Fat 15%

Phosphorus 0.5%

Energy 205 kcal/100g

I use ground rabbit from Hare-Today and I still have to cut it with boneless meat and add supplements
"Whole ground rabbit includes meat, bones, head, and organs (liver, heart, lung, pancreas, thyroid gland, spleen and kidneys). The fur, stomach and intestine are removed.
Meat/Bone/Organ ratio: Note, heart and lung is considered a muscle meat for feeding purposes
75% meat 15% bone 10% organ [liver, pancreas, kidney]"
I follow a recipe from Making Cat Food but also spoke with Dr Pierson so we do 1:1 rabbit to turkey now instead of the old 2:1
I add lite salt, taurine, vitamins B and E, fish oil

In one pound of rabbit, you have 2.4 ounces of bones, so your final mix will be 24 ounces (for each pound of rabbit). You'll need to add 8 ounces of boneless muscle meat to achieve an 80/10/10 mix:

16 Ounce, 24 Ounce, Balance
Meat 70% = 11.2, 80% = 19.2, Add 8
Bone 15% = 2.4, 10% = 2.4, Add 0
Organ 15% = 2.4, 10% = 2.4, Add 0

For 24 ounces of food I add:

1 - 500 mg Taurine
1 - 50 mg B Complex
50 IU Vitamin E
3/8 tsp Lite Salt
1 egg yolk

Supplements are added based on supplement amounts in recipes from catinfo.org and felinenutrition.org (which use slightly different amounts of supplements in their respective recipes).

You'll want a fish oil supplement or you can feed some high-Omega 3 oily fish in the diet.

If you prefer, you can purchase a premixed supplement product for use with a raw food diet.

I think it's up to you whether or not you lower the bone content in that rabbit. 15% may not bother some cats, other cats need lower. If you're feeding rabbit exclusively you might want to lower the bone content, but in rotation i don't think it would be a big deal. At the very least I would add taurine because rabbit is naturally low in taurine.
