<p>Gave Bess a lamb's heart this week. She didn't know what to do with it, so I cut it into slices and she wolfed it down.</p>
<p>Yesterday I had to work, so I gave her her mince in the morning, and left a couple of hare's shoulders to defrost. She hadn't eaten her mince by the evening, so I just gave it back to her again. She kept running to where the shoulders were defrosting! I think she'd been smelling them all day and had been looking forward to them, but I'm being stricter now. She…</p>

Well, today Bess had minced tripe which she wasn't so keen on. She needed to have some offal, but won't it it raw yet, so I flash fried some kidney, chopped it, and mixed it into her tripe. Best thing since sliced bread apparently!<br />
<br />
For supper she's had her first heart. She was a bit overwhelmed by this big blob in her bowl so I sliced it for her. She ate it quickly enough then!<br />
<br />
Will go and choose her dinner for tomorrow in a moment!

An hour and a half? No wonder they were tired!<br />
<br />
I'm trying the tripe mince tomorrow - she's been iffy about tripe to date so will see what she makes of the MVM version. If she eats that she'll get a veal bone to try.

<p>Oh wow Trish, Wish you could have taken a video clip and put it up for us to see. I just love that happy happy meal expression. I am glad she enjoyed it. I will have to get some for my guys and hope my picky bunch will tuck in rather than just sitting there saying "what the hell are we supposed to do with this" which is what I got from shop bought rabbit lol</p>

<p>Well Bess had her hare shoulder tonight - in fact she's had two of them. Harder for her to eat than the rabbit, but she didn't let that stop her and munched her way through both. If she could have put a smile on her face she would have. Her expression was something like 'now that's what I call food, Mum!' So lovely to see her enjoying something.</p>
<p>And she ate all the beef mince at breakfast time. This is going far too well at the moment.....</p>

<p>Trish, Barkley cannot take most fish oils. Salmon makes him ill, even eating a couple of prawns will make him ill, however, he can take krill oil :-) I put a few squirts of this on his food.</p>

<p>Unfortunately Bess isn't going to get her hare shoulders tonight, despite the fact she's been interested in them defrosting all day. I bought some salmon oil and put it on her food on Tuesday - she was quite ill afterwards, but I never considered for one minute it was the oil, as the Prize Choice mince I'd defrosted looked a bit grey, and I put it down to that.

<p>Unfortunately Bess isn't going to get her hare shoulders tonight, despite the fact she's been interested in them defrosting all day. I bought some salmon oil and put it on her food on Tuesday - she was quite ill afterwards, but I never considered for one minute it was the oil, as the Prize Choice mince I'd defrosted looked a bit grey, and I put it down to that. Gave her some liver earlier (have to cook it at the moment, but she needs offal so I try to encourage her to eat it), and put some more salmon oil on it. She likes cooked liver, but wasn't too keen eating it today which I thought was odd. Then poor love was very ill again.</p>
<p>So I have to put it down to her being allergic to the salmon oil. So the hare shoulders are back in the fridge until tomorrow - she's obviously very dissapointed, but her stomach needs time to settle.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what I can substitute for the Omega 3 oils if she can't eat fish?
