Guys, no shit here, but my last litter, I started on RAW at 4 weeks, all ground. At 7 weeks, I would throw in one chicken quarter (6 pups in the litter) and they would go off on that thing like a pack of wild dogs on a carcass. I let them go at it this way from that point on. Yes, they did eat bone and all.

I know it sounds like BULLSHIT, but they handled it just fine. Next time, I'll video it and shoot it up this way.

The new owners didn't really believe me. I had one pick his up in person at 9 weeks. I held off on feeding so he could see it. He never saw anything like it. Another feller had is sent to the New England area. He put her on his "good old kibble". Kept sending me emails about diarrhea and so forth. Said he thought one day, "Hell, Ferg said they were eating chicken legs at 7 weeks......so I thought I'd give it a try. I threw one her way (she was 10 mo by now) and damn man, she put that thing away in short order - I couldn't believe it"

Long story short.......5 months is WAY old enough, IMO.
