Melissa Blazak Webboard User Reg: 03-15-2002 Posts: 591 Loc: Southern Ontario Offline	Has anyone out there fed whole whitebait? They are 2-3 inch little fishies found in big bags in the frozen fish section of the supermarket. They are not gutted (too small for that) and for people are usually flash-fried and served as tapas. Because of their size it looks like there would be no problem feeding some at a meal. Hardly any bones to contend with and they are a whole fish. Even anything up to a small (4-5 inch) fresh or frozen whiting or sardine. It would be a nice supplement to a canned salmon meal. BTW, about beef knuckle bones....I wish I would have given them to my dog a lot sooner. All that $$$ spent on chew toys that he didn't care squat about and 1 beef knuckle bone kept him outside in the falling snow for 3 hours.

My pup couldn't decide if it was better to roll in it or eat it. Then he poked a hole in the skin and decided eating was the better choice.

On a side note...I have had the pleasure of driving for 1/2 hour with my dog in the back of the wagon covered in "eau de rotting carp". MUCH worse then the horse sh*t incident. I'm sure he'll eat these little ones just fine....now that he's gotten used to BARF. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
