I just started my male on raw. We started with a mix of chicken backs & qtrs. He loved them & has had no issue with vomiting or poo. It has been about 2 weeks (going on 3 now since we started). I have started to add a little venison & chicken gizzards/hearts & canned salmon (1 time). This has worked well too. The only issue I have had is when fed split chicken breast.....he won't touch them unless I cut into large chunks which he then vomits because he is swallowing the chunks whole. Problem solved....I grind those now.
My question is that he seems to be skipping a meal now most days . Is this normal? He will sometimes refuse the chicken qtr/thigh but will gladly take a back from me. Could it be that he is just getting his fill & doesn't need more or is it time to start adding new meats because he is bored with chicken? I do weigh out his food to the appropriate weight for each meal. I'm using the 2.5% ideal body weight to calculate (because he could stand to take off a couple of pounds). I just want to make sure that skipping is normal & ok.
