My raw fed girlies can be fussy about raw organ meat... however I have discovered that they love frozen hears and liver... so from now on after each breakfast they will all get a small chunk of frozen raw liver or heart to finish of thier meals...sorted !!

I'm sure its to do with the texture (think Lucy suggested partially cooking to me?) - mine think its something poisonous the way they react - liver gets partly cooked but will try frozen possibly.  The don't seem to mind heart raw defrosted though for some reason!

WhenI fed raw, none of mine would touch any meat unless it was partially frozen, used to make me clench my teeth just watching them !

Try blitzing liver with raw carrot (if you can stand the resulting mess), Rachel - mine love it like that but won't eat it by it self :)

> if you can stand the resulting mess


haha - liver cake is a favorite and they hated the noise of the blitzer initially but now sit waiting !

Might try it but not too keen on the sound of the mess!

I feed chicken livers raw and not frozen which they like and other offal but I don't like the smell especially liver so they are fed it all frozen solid. A nice size heart keeps them occupied for a bit other wise they swallow them whole :-O

I also feed fish frozen as the tend to do seal eating impressions and then we have regurgitation about three four times ( nice not !) so having it frozen they have to chew it and stops the regurgitation !

Fish is another thing they feel is wrong LOL! frozen again might be an option :)

mine will only eat tinned fish in tomato sauce or oil (except brooke !!!). Not often as I dont want to  over do teh salt in the tinned fish

Nando eats little bits of frozen liver too! I have to stand over him to make him eat it when it is in his bowl on its own and defrosted. He likes it but it doesn't excite him like it does other foods and he starts getting more interested in everything else other than eating!

Have you tried mixing oily fish with tripe? I grind smelts and mix with tripe that's the only way Moose will eat fish,
she's very picky lol.

I havnt but its worth a try. I use tinned pilchards usually in tomato sauce or spring water. I know some people say they are too high in salt but the tin doesnt show salt as added and they dont have that often

I think the tripe over powers the fish. Since I grind my
fish then make a mush with the tripe works great.
I only feed the smelts nice little oily fish. But so far only once a week
to expensive to feed more often.
