Prey Model Raw Feeding
If you have watched our cat compilations you will already have seen the clip of Bengalmanor Warrior Shere Khan helping himself to a DOC (Day Old Chick) - these are his favourite treats!
Khan is on a species appropriate diet, meaning he has fresh raw meat products. This is ideal for a feline, as they are obligate carnivores.
Raw feeding IS NOT simply feeding meat- you need to have a balanced diet. Khan has DOCS daily as whole prey, but his wet food is a specific mix of appropriate organs and muscle meat, to ensure he is getting the right balance of nutrients.
Contrary to rumours, raw feeding will not make an animal vicious, in fact it can reduce the amount of hormones, toxic chemicals and bacteria that they are exposed to. Khan knows the difference between food and pets and, while interested in playing with the birds and lizards in the house, he has never hurt a pet and if he catches an intruder in his outdoor run he will bring it to us alive and unharmed (Moths excepted!).
Khan has an amazing Sagittal Crest and perfect teeth; a result of his whole prey and chicken necks. In this video you see how strong his jaw is as he crushes and consumes his DOCs and chicken necks in awesome time.
