Yeah I am thinking of doing the same, because I don't wanna mess his tummy up, I'm gonna start on natures menu first until I can get my head around all the quantities etc they have some in the Petshop in st Thomas, so I'm gonna get some Friday, so many people of said it's fine to wean them others said cold turkey, and others said give him it for lunch and smaller amounts of kibble for brekie...so confusing

Kibble and raw have different digestion rates so I'd swap straight over Hun.
