| Re: Price Range of Raw Diet? I have a 92lb male and a 75lb female. The male gets about 10 ounces of a hamburger/beef heart mix in the morning and a few ounces of a pureed mixed veggies. The female gets about 8 ounces of the same meat mixture and a few ounces of pureed mixed veggies. Dinner consists of about 22 ounces of chicken RMBs for the male and 16 ounces of chicken RMBs for the female.
I buy the hamburger/beef heart mixture for about $1.79/lb in 50lb lots. That lasts me about 45 days. The chickens I get for $1.35/corpse (a farmer sells me the corpse after it's been processed of breasts, wings, thighs, and legs). Those can weigh anywhere from 1lb-2.5lbs.
On top of that I feed some supplements, but those aren't necessarily needed just something I like doing.
I'd say I probably spend about around $3.50 per day, but that can fluctuate depending on the size of the chicken corpse. Some days I have to use 2 other days I use 1.5. |
