[rawfeeding] Re:How much fat?

I use pork picnics often. I trim most of the thick fat off for my large male (170lb). He will not eat the whole thing at one time, not yet at gorge and fast. After trying to let him eat what he wants and then removing for next meal we had exploding butt, did not eat enough of the bone for him, even with the fat trimmed. He has always had a touchy stomach. No harm in going slowly. I now hack off some of the meat to feed with some chicken legs, then give the rest on the bone the next day or 2. The 30 lb female is only on raw for less than 2 months and is still a little prissy about large pieces. She gets some of the hacked off meat with her boney meal. I would go easy on the fat to start or have lots of paper towels and enzyme cleaner on hand. We are looking forward to the day when I can just drop the whole picnic on the floor and let them eat it at will. I try to remember that most meat we buy is far fattier than the wild counter parts and wolves don't have to wait for us to get home from work to go outside to potty.
