Kacie Maffitt Webboard User Reg: 04-09-2007 Posts: 185 Loc: Athens, Georgia Offline	So I'm thinking that I would like to give my guys a lil 4th of July treat, but I'm wondering if it's a good idea ... Just a couple of months ago my supplier of feeder bunnies (also breeds pigs) had a young 30# pig that didn't fair well after his castration. Pig was humanely gassed and put in the freezer. When my friend offered him to me for the dogs I grabbed him and stuck him in my freezer. (I'm never one to turn down free dog food!!) The thing is that this guy was never gutted or anything, so I've been hesitant as to whether to feed him or not. So he's just been sitting down in the bottom of the freezer. Anyone have any thoughts about me letting my guys loose on him? Synchronized Chomping

Debbie Bruce Webboard User Reg: 08-23-2007 Posts: 1196 Loc: Centralia, Missouri Offline	My dogs eat pig and pig guts quite often. It's called "prey model diet". I know that watching them eat guts can be a bit disconcerting (think "Lady and the Tramp" with a twist), but it's perfectly natural.

Thanks, ladies, for you're input! Piggy's almost thawed, so I'm about to let my pups go wild on 'em ... minus the worries! Funny thing, pigs are the only critter that I'm afraid of (deathly afraid), I am *not* looking forward to opening that bag ... hmmm, I may actually just let my boys have a little fun unwrapping him, too!

Can't believe you'd do that to us. I thought you cared. I know! What a meanie I would be if I withheld the glorious guts and gore from my favorite dog folks But I guess I do care, and I couldn't *not* record their largest "prey model" meal to date! It's not too gnarly, though, since I really couldn't bear to see so close to starting my own steak dinner... Um, and you may want to turn down the volume a bit ... I'm not very camera savvy ... 4th of July dinner Synchronized Chomping

You are my hero and I very much appreciate you sharing.:smile: I knew you cared. I think that is officially the winning vid for "Best Raw Feeding Video". Now I gotta' go find a whole pig.:smile:
