Ilene, tell him you want femur bones and NOT knuckle bones. Knuckles are so
friable that they can power right through them and then puke up pieces for a
day or so.

Now, that being said, I do let my crew have the occasional knuckle that's
still attached to the femur... rather like the kneecap section so to speak,
gads considering my knees or lack thereof that makes me shudder, lol!

Are these for recreational chewing or for teeth cleaning? For teeth cleaning
I might suggest a whole different section of bones for you.. Gina, do you
concur?

A real coup here I have to brag about.... friends just got a moose and I'm
getting the legs, hoofs and all.. I am beyond excited!!
