I applaud you for getting a rescue. There are tooooo many out there. For a first timer, an older one would be good, at least 18mos old or more where their personality is who they are at this age. Research all you can, and if you fill out an application and are denied, no not stop trying. I was denied by a Basenji rescue, and Uzie is my second where I found him right here 'free to good home' so we drove two days to pick him up and he is thriving without fenced in yards. (not for everyone as not everyone lives on 10 acres or more…I get this....!) but he has blossomed and doing well. So, don't give up!

Foods basenjis love
-
Mine love:
tan bark (chew up)
dirt
cat poop
dead dried up birds
old food found around picnic areasNot necessarily in that order. Bon appetite!
That's pretty funny, but just think of what the Basenji's in their native enviorment eat.:eek: :eek: :eek:
-
What is the consequence of letting them eat the skins. I never heard that.
Canned hash huh?:eek:
You know, I don't remember, will have to look were I saw that.. I do skin them first and then mash them up….
Yup... canned hash....

Please pardon my ignorance…but what the heck is "hash"???
-
corned beef and hash comes in a can….it is in the spamalicious and vienna sausage family and is a camping breakfast favorite as well as some peoples' breakfast for those who enjoy salt in the morning.
a very salty meat, some variety of pork with bits of potatoe in it...heat it up and eat with eggs....
stinky salty maybe meat product that can taste really good at certain moments.....l

Oh, by the way, I would not touch it with a ten foot pole… gggg But the smell makes my B's go totally nuts!

I'm in hysterics, because we have always said there should be a dog food that is "cat poop" flavored.

By the way, our little Juma will eat almost anything in front of her. However, boiled hamburger meat is fun to add a bit to her food.

I'm sorry for anyone who likes canned hash-but, isn't that what it is? Canned "cat poop" flavoured sorta "meat"?

AAAAAHHHHH Ok I do know SPAM..grew up on the stuff. Don't ask me why?? I can't even look at it now

Here's my take on why dogs eat cat poop. The cat gets chased and terrorized by the dog. So the cat gets back at the dog by the poop having a magic spell on it that makes the dog hallucinate that it's a juicy steak hot off the grill. So the cat sits up on the fence having the last laugh watching the dog eat.

Mystery meat
-
anything we are eating. He is not fond of carrots or any raw vegetable.
-
Yogurt
Cottage cheese
eggs
lean meat (chicken, beef, bison etc.)
Steamed veggies (esp. broccoli)
fish (cod and salmoln are big hits here!)
And Storm loves raw asparagus (almost as much as he loves cat box crunchies! ). -
and peanut butter..
-
Food. Plain and simple.
-
He also eats anything that is not food so long as it is REALLY disgusting. Like say…... hippies or something.

**Now I know why I feel a special kinship with my B's.:rolleyes: I like corned beef hash too…:D
My guys seem to have a special fondness for anything that comes out the exhaust end of any other animal. They think our horses are Bon Bon makers that move.
I know what your thinkin......the kinship don't run that deep!
