Diet:
Your kitten has been raised on 4 meals per day, along with a small amount of dry food left out at night. We feed a varied diet so the kittens are used to several different foods. Raw and Wet food makes up the bulk of the diet.
Raw Meat:
We feed a balanced pre-made raw from The Natural Canine (prey model diet), there are various raw food outlets in each state, and frozen patties suchLeaps & Bounds, Dr B’s & Big Dog for Cats from Pet Barn or Pet Stock, Glow frozen patties from Pet Stock.
While we do not currently feed Raw Meow mix, it is an easy alternative for making raw meat balanced if you are unable to easily source such meals elsewhere. It is a powder added to water and meat that contains all the vitamins and minerals required for a balanced meal.
If feeding commercial wet, dry or balanced raw then Raw Meow is not needed to be added, it’s only for human grade meat purchased at the supermarket. Their website is rawmeow.com.au
We also feed some Freeze Dry raw food from Completepet.com.au and
