hello,
My flame point ragdoll kitten who is 4 months old now weighs 5lbs 6 oz has been eating less and less the past 2 days since I have gone back to giving them the original raw meat source I started him on Primal chicken and salmon.
I had him on chicken and salmon for a good 2 weeks then tried to turkey which he hated wouldn't touch it, so I tried pork which was his favourite then to duck which he also loves but is very expensive meat source and then the beef and salmon which he hated and wouldn't touch so I went back to the chicken and salmon and he will eat it if I sit beside him and put little pieces of it right in front of him SOMETIMES but most of the time his either sniff and lick then walk away or just sniff and walk away. I even tried mixing it with the duck I still have and he wouldn't touch it. He has eaten 2 nuggets today and he usually eats 4!
I'm wondering if I should just go out and get him some pork again? It says on Primal that you should have a rotation of 3 different meat sources and right now Pork and Duck are the only two he really loves and the chicken and salmon is a hit or miss.
I also have a different brand of raw food that I got for free as a sample. I have plain beef and turkey dinner. I'm wondering if it would be okay to try him out on this by mixing a small amount in with his chicken and salmon or duck? I want to be able to give him more of a variety in meat sources so since he doesn't like anything else in Primal I was hoping I could add another brand of raw to the mix.
Questions:
1) should I continue to push the chicken and salmon and hope that he eats it or should I just go out and exchange it for pork?
2) is it okay to mix 2 raw food brands together?
3) is it okay to mix different types of raw meat formulas together? I've been doing this for a while but I want to triple check that it's okay.
4) people with cats on commercial raw... what do you do to give your cat a variety of meat options?
Any tips tricks and advice would be very much appreciated!!
