Hi guys. My first time on here and I'm a first time owner of a beautiful young man (possible not a man!!) BT. Alfred is 4mths old and came home yesterday. Any dietary hints or tips and advice in general would be greatly appreciated xx
What's a BT?
well done i feed our 2 bt's good quality dog food with peas corn banana strawberry and some mixed salad greens...they will just about eat anything....they will eat most fruit and vegies...just do a google search.....it will come up with heaps of ideas for you
Personally I wouldn't go with any brand of dog food. I wouldn't feed that stuff to any animal I cared about.
For the meat portion of your critter's diet, I'd get something that hasn't been processed into an unidentifiable brown mush. My bluey gets mostly chunks of kangaroo meat (grosses me out no end, being that I'm a vegan haha, but I chose to have pets that need meat, so I can't complain) and raw egg occasionally for protein. He LOVES his egg, drinks it so fast that it comes out his nose sometimes, and I have to encourage him to slow down.
Aside from that, a mix of vegetables, some fruit, and as many greens as you can convince your critter to eat will ensure a balanced diet. I also like to add calcium and vitamin supplements to some of Banjo's meals, just to be sure he's not missing anything. Obviously you don't want to go too crazy with the supplements, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Keep everything in moderation and mix it up.
Also on a side note, I'd hop over to Google and run a search for things you SHOULDN'T feed it. It's important to know what to feed, but in my opinion it's just as important to know what to avoid.
All the best and feel free to post as many pictures as you like.. Haven't you heard? We love pictures!

There is nothing wrong with commercial dog foods providing you are buying good quality and not cheap garbage like chum, pedigree etc...
I can't agree with you, but differing opinions aren't a bad thing, and that's all this is: my opinion. I do want to mention though that price isn't always proof of quality, if you are going to use commercial dog food definitely find out what goes into it as best you can.
I know. Price doesn't really count for much.
K9 and Barf are both excellent quality foods for dogs. I have used K9 as a meat portion for my lizards and not had an issue. There is even a big breeder of bluetongues that has suggested to me using Supercoat cat biscuits.
