Duck hearts

[wolcar]

Well, I finally built up the nerve and thawed out the duck hearts for my boys. They absolutely loved them. Gus was growling while he the them. I love when he does that. I also liked how they could just be scooped up. I made sure to portion out the liquid as well.

Are there any concerns regarding the duck hearts I should keep in mind? They are considered a muscle meat, correct? My boys really loved them.

I feed hearts 3 - 4x a week as the meat portion of the meal. They're high in taurine, which is great. The only thing to consider would be they're nutrition dense, so somewhat caloric - if you feed a lot of them, they may gain a little weight.

Aww...... I'm so glad you worked up the nerve - and were SO well rewarded for it! But yeah, being able to just scoop them should make it easier.

Yea, they've been in the freezer for a while, lol. I actually portioned them out with slightly less ounces than they normally get so that's good since they're calorie dense.

It's so nice to see them enjoying their food like that

Hearts make a nice meal and seems like most animals love them, my cat and ferrets had some duck hearts for breakfast today actually.   I usually chop up liver and make them a meal together several times a week.
