We had a little chat about that site last year. TBH I was not very impressed with it - far too much chicken for my liking but each to their own

Here is the thread from last year

Is it normal to feed a whole day of organ? Keepers would be sick the rest of the week. I give him a little bit of organ with a meat or meaty bone meal.

Well it would sort of depend on what they include in their idea of organ. Some will include hearts in their organ portion (I don't I feed it as muscle because it is a muscle) you can feed a whole meal of heart without any tummy issues, same with tripe - some feed it as a whole meal with no problems. I have never fed kidney or liver as a whole meal - not something I would be comfortable with. I feed kidney and liver as "sides" so Rubes will get say a 200g chunk of either liver or kidney with a turkey neck/wings or small rack of pork ribs -I've been getting them cheap I'm so happy. Oh I only feed liver twice a week max because the Vitamin A in the liver is fat soluble.
