i dont know about the fleas but i wouldnt leave them play with the tail al the time becouse i had a dog 1s and [bANNED TEXT] he seen the fox then he was going for the tail al the time till he knew the sharp end

The correct way to preserve a brush is to soak it in meths for a fortnight then shampoo it but this takes away all the foxy smell and becomes just a toy .Supervise pups with tails mate as any lumps of fur pulled off can cause choking .

i find if its for the pups to play with leave the bone in the brush as it will last a bit longer , and dont wash it, as they get to know the smell of a fox .which means fun to them later on

[thurso jack 3]

ok will do, how long a period will it need to be in the freezer for?

 

fletcher watch it!

We always put salt into the end of the stump where the tails been cut & tie the end up with the bone still in the tail, hang it up somewhere to dry for a couple of weeks & the tail will be fine & fleas dead.
