How much RMB, meat, offal and veg?

This is a question on RAW or BARF!!!!

I'm so confused..

I was wondering, if those who feed raw, would write how many percentages of RMB, meat and veg you feed.

I know there are 3 "gurus" if you like...:

Ian Billinghurst,
Tom Lonsdale and
Mogens Eliasen

Now I currently feed after the 3. Mogens Eliasen... He says:

35% RMB (I feed that morning)
35% meat (I have offal, fish, meat and so on included in the word meat) and
30% veggiemix

The last 2 I feed at dinner. Luna loves her veggies, so I have no problem with her not eating it.

I want to continue feeding 2 times a day, but I was just wondering, how you guys feed

Hope its okay to ask?

J

I feed approx 40% meaty bones,55% meat and 5% veges.
Its not an exact science.....we all do it differently...so don't worry.Do what works for you and yours!

I would also say 35% of the diet as veg is too much but if its working for you then thats fine!

Mine get pretty much the same as Archers B/L
I also try as much as poss to give the whole animal ie: whole quail weighs approx 8oz so they may get 2 per meal each & no meat, if they weigh 4oz they get 2 each plus 8oz meat each. 1 chicken may weigh 1lb they will get that whole by itself. Sardines if they are large usually 6/7 will weigh a pound & so on with a large ladel full of veg/fruit cos they love it but its an aside, wouldn`t make their meals up of 30% veg

Well she's been on it since friday before last... And havent lost any weight (which she could without a problem)...

But I'm kinda getting the idea, that I feed way too much veggie... And I think I feed to little RMB

You`ll get the hang of it B/L
35% is only 5 off 40 so not too bad Hope all goes well

I'm afraid I don't worry too much about percentages J.....I just couldn't work it out so I just feed Murph RMB's in the morning,chicken wings mainly and then a prepacked Barf in the evening BUT I do throw in extra veggies if they are going spare and this morning he munched on a whole pear! heloves fruit so I just chuck him a piece now and then! Go by Luna's poos! If they're looking a bit soft, cut back on veggies, if they're a bit hard, add some veggies. You'll get the hang of it I promise and it really doesn't have to be exact!

Hi Ruth

Yes I know a lot dont use the exact percentages or grams..

But this is my way of controlling it in the beginning

Yeah she didnt have veggies today, cos she has a bit of a soft tummy
