Hey everyone,
One of my abysinnians (male, neutered) just goes absolutely insane for human food. Anything I eat, he has to try and eat some as well, I've caught him sneaking green beans, corn, french fries and now just recently he threw up a bunch of almonds (made me especially worried since I know almonds can be poisonous!). I do not ever give him food off my plate because I do not want it interfering with his diet.
He is on a raw diet, I rotate between chicken (chicken necks and liver) and turkey (turkey heart, turkey and turkey liver), and he gets plenty of freeze dried treats. I do not make the raw food myself, but buy it from a reputable pet store in my area. I have another aby who is just fine and couldn't care less about what I'm eating.
Any ideas on how to curve this insatiable behaviour for food? Is he just too hungry? Should I be supplementing his died with more?
This is the brand of raw I am buying: http://www.mountaindogfood.com/home.html#&panel1-1
He eats about 100g of raw food a day (its what the packaging says is appropriate)
Thank you for all your suggestions!
