Bo is funny with raw food. He won't eat organs of any variety. She will eat RMB's but takes forever eating them, or just sits there with it mouthing it as if to say "I'm supposed to eat this??". She does eventually eat them though!
Minced meat would definately never be rejected by my lot.

so decided I had to do something different 
I may try cooking a wee bit for Yogi and then reducing the amount it is cooked.

lolHe loves lamb flank - and hopefully I should soon have a freezer full of lamb bits and bobs

Jake started of eating any meat I gave him, but now he refused to eat raw pork... he will happily eat it cooked, but he won't go near it raw! Not sure what changed, but as he isn't fussy with anything else, I let him off with it

My lab will eat anything and everything, never known her to refuse anything. If she ever does I will be very worried as it would mean she was very Ill.
