My little Hannibal The Cannibal

OK so remember I posted pics of Pita eating a chicken bone? Several people asked me if he was breaking it open and eating the marrow, because the marrow is good for them.....well.....

He's discovered the secret within the bone



aaahhhhh bliss....

Is it okay for them to eat the bone. Mine love chicken but I have never gave them the bone. Do you give them the leg or part of the chicken wing?

They eat the marrow out of the bone. They love it and its very high in protein

Calypso screams if he doesnt get his share. He loves his hot wings! I have to watch tho as all the doggies wait for him to drop one. Its Ok for Doggies to have RAW bones but not cooked, as cooked bones splinter but Birdies can have them cooked.

Pita is too cute.

I even find it a little creepy when my guys eat scrambled eggs. There's something not quite right with that either but they like them and in limited qualities it's a nice healthy treat for them.

Mine loves the marrow..and just chewing on bones it invaded the left overs of last nights steak seemed to have fun getting its feet dirty ..any excuse to shower (:

Anyone know if there's and dangers in it chewing on any other animal bone apart from chicken?
