BUT, she hates raw chicken. So, searching through Leerburg, I found these links: http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/4168732/site_id/1 http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=12&Number=147756&Searchpage=1&Main=15530&Words=%26quot%3Bbeef+bone%26quot%3B&topic=0&Search=true#Post147756 http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=12&Number=199123&Searchpage=1&Main=19789&Words=+tail&topic=0&Search=true#Post199123 http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=12&Number=202487&Searchpage=1&Main=20087&Words=+tail&topic=0&Search=true#Post202487 http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=12&Number=202508&Searchpage=1&Main=20093&Words=+tail&topic=0&Search=true#Post202508 which basically told me (I could be wrong), beef ribs would be out and oxtail (cowtail) okay to feed her. Any other soft red meat bones out there? Squirrel season is this weekend, so I am hoping to get a few squirrels, but I would like try other meats. Any suggestions? Look! I DO fit in the bag.

Ox tail would be O.K. every now and then, but wouldn't be good as a reliable source of calcium. Ox tail, while softer than other beef bones is still pretty hard. I would want something a little more digestible. Now, I'd also make sure that ox tails were given to not-so-aggressive chewers, too. She doesn't like rabbit either?

There are rabbit breeders around me that breed for meat. If I can track them down, I can try a bunny. Pork neck bones are soft but will it be to rich for Lucy's stomach? That's why I hadn't gone to pork yet. I just got the gut settled from the kibble. Oh well, we got time. thanks for posting and reminding me of rabbit! Look! I DO fit in the bag.
