Does anyone feed kitties raw bones. I have heard that they need to be raw, not cooked. Cooked bones will splinter. Does anyone do this?

Raw bones are fine :smile: Most cats just gnaw on the bones, not really crunch it into pieces to eat. Poultry necks are good for dental health. Raw bones from the supermarket or butcher shop are fine as are the ones sold in pet stores.

There is a prey-model raw diet that includes raw bones but I'm not sure in what form the bones are given (whole? ground up?). That might be something you could look into if you are feeding a raw diet.
 
The raw diet I have been mixing with FF has bones, skin, everything. I love the idea of giving the raw bones. Could I get some chicken legs, take off the meat and use those or would it be too salty.

I think it would be fine. Some packaged raw meats contain salt solutions and/or preservatives. Avoid these.
