My italian greyhound LOVES mice. She prefers them smashed by the tractor. She follows the farm equipment when we cut hay and feasts.
Sometimes if they are alive she will play with them gently for quite a while. She's not much of a predator.
I am boarding two IGs right now and they are quite sure they are not even to be treated like dogs let alone eat that sort of thing.
Michael, I did give Wart- the 4# a chunk of chicken this morning and he wolfed it. Norbert is definitely the sissier of the two. Though there is a lot more attention paid at meals right now! Everyone is quite sure I should be getting the chickens too!
my 9.5 lb crested(who, like the IG's, is convinced he is most certainly NOT a dog) eats raw again, now, he can't have chicken, but he can eat anything else the big dogs do, even halved turkey backs with nothing special done to them.
when i was fostering a chi that was about the same weight, i just took the meat cleaver, turned it over, and gave the leg quarters a few good wacks to break the bone up, halved it, and gave one half as a meal to the little dog, and he would either just get that for the day, or a small meal(like eggs, soem canned fish, etc)that night.
i can tell you though, my crested can eat ANYTHING the big dogs can. It just takes him longer on some things, like marrow/soup bones. he has to rip off little strips, shake it up, then eat it.
My 4-7 lb Chi's can eat chicken leg and thigh bones with no help.
If I am feeding leg quarters I will just whack off a meal size chunk for the little dogs. For 1-2 lb puppies I will whack it a few more times.
I almost never grind anything for puppies, they do just fine eating their meal off of the big chunk. Chicken ribs are the right size for them for their calcium.
