I am thinking of changing izzie from butchers tripe tinned food to a more natural food ie Chicken ,liver beef from a company called prizechoice.co.uk.
Can anyone give me an idea of how much I should feed her and should it be mixed with anything else.
She currently eats 1200g tinned food twice a day ,her weight is perfect on this.

Check out the Raw feeding thread
To pay the prices for that stuff i assume from pets at home is much more than if you go to the local butchers
you could get ahold of beef hearts there and mince that they make from all the offcuts etc in my town it varies from 28p a lb to 40p a lb also you may be able to get some chicken carcasses from a butchers that does the boneless roasts for sunday dinners etc
check that out
I have seen this brand you suggest in Pets at Home and it would take alot and the price would be high to feed enough for my lot
so it may be a suggestion for you
Plus with only 1 it should be alot easier to get enough to feed for the week

I usually base the amount on 2 - 3 % of the body weight. So for Juni who last weighed in at 120 lbs gets about 2.5 lbs a day. She gets moderate exercise and seems to be doing great at this ratio.

Hope this helps.
