How completely marvelous. Congratulations on the new pups, and on
being such a wonderful raw-food provider.

I wouldn't think you'd want leftover bones, really -- very little of
the diet needs to be edible bone -- but meat / fat trim would be just
dandy.

Yes, yes, and yes. All these are wonderful.

So wonderful that I might just move there.

Per day, they should have something like 2-3% of their adult body
weight. Standards should be, what, as much as 65 or 70# as adults?
I'd say start out with 2 pounds a day, split over at least 3 meals. So
FEED those puppies. Go easy on the liver -- it can produce loose
stools. Maybe try whole chickens, whacked into feedable parts.

I also saw your post about your older dog, and I concur completely with
Sandee. Get that little girl going on raw so she doesn't have to be
jealous of the pups for TOO much!
