What are the major differences? My beautiful Whippet/Bassett mix, Argon, has been raw fed for two years, and has never been healthier. I recently added a 16 week old persian kitten, Cheshire. I have had her on kibble while she transitions to my home (I am her third), but I would like for her to be raw fed also.
I have offered her pinky mice, which she was quite enthusiastic about, but I don't want to make the complete jump until I am sure I am doing things right.
Obviously, she will be getting much smaller portions than Argon, but what else should I know? Are there any meats that I should not give her, or that should be fed in moderation?
Argon does the Frankenprey model, but I'm thinking that whole prey might be better for a cat? She weighs right at 4 lbs. Is she too small for whole mice? The store charges the same for a whole mouse as it does for a pinky, so it would be a money saver if I could feed big ones.
She is also the first baby I will be raw feeding, so is there any difference between feeding her and feeding an adult animal?
Chesh is dazzled by Argon's meals, and has to be restrained from going in there and helping herself, so I think she would have an easy transition.
