Raw minced meat: beef or chicken. Raw rabbit previously frozen to kill tapeworm cysts: take off bone and mince, or just skin and gut and put into their bed and let them suck on it! I make little cuts all over the muscles so they can tear shreds of meat off with their gummy little jaws if they haven't got all their teeth through. By the time they get to the age of the pup in the photo (about 5 weeks here) they know just what to do with a carcase:

hi mate, right when it comes to weaning time do this as normal but use a mix of minced chicken and beef. make a up a very weak gravy and pour just enough over the meat to blanch it so it is slightly cooked allow to cool so it is just about warm and feed to the pups. make sure its finely minced as they will half suck and half chew to start with. as they get older add a small amount of blitzed down veg to the meat and take away the gravy ... as they get older again throw down some meaty lamb ribs along with their food... its that simple realy mate
