I just get mine from Asda. Smartprice chicken wings are really cheap. We used to give them away when i worked at a buthcers many years ago.Again, the mince beef and beef chunks are from the supermartket too. Mince beef can be cheap at times. I beleive my nearest Pets at home sell the Prizechoice so i might tr it sometime.

Lol! I spent ages worrying about exact nutrition, but i read up, n received lots of advice (from ppl at the great dane forum- worth checking out if ur considering raw /barf feeding) n i am popping in daily dose of vitamins- just to curb my paranoia!

Someone said that we dont give ourselves (as people) the exact required amounts of vitamins each and every day. I dont measure out my own daily food intake to ensure exact proportions of vit c, calcium, etc but you sorta end up getting enough of everything over the weeks anyway! Thought that was quite an interesting point!

Egg? Does that not give a cat the runs? The whole carcass thingy, what is that, a whole chicken?

I also read this on Lady A breeders website about how raw food is dangerous to cats and now i'm worried. How true is this?

What does a Bengal eat?

The myth that a Bengal must eat a Raw diet is very dangerous for a cat, realistically it is NOT A WILD ANIMAL, it mearly looks a bit like one. Feed your kitten on quality kitten food and treat occasionally with chicken (raw or cooked) and fish (cooked).

WARNING: Many breeders tell you to feed your Bengal on an exclusively raw diet, this is very dangerous for a domestic cat. Cats need a supplement called Taurine, cat food manufacturers put Taurine in their food and it is perfectly adequate for your Bengal. When you freeze or cook a meat product it all but destroys the Taurine in the meat tissue. What this means is that your cat will not be getting Taurine in its diet if you feed it on an exclusively raw diet as most even "Fresh" meat will have been chilled or even frozen since culling.
