jac 12 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 got it in salt water . will make a nice treat for her Quote Link to post
DRP 3 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 No need to put it in salt water mate, dunno why you'd do that. Even if its got myxi, just give it to her straight, won't do her any harm. You may need to skin it first though if she hasn't had many rabbits before. Quote Link to post
jac 12 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 tried that, fussy dog would not eat it. so am cooking this one for her, better then wasting it. hopefully she will get used to eating it fresh as she gets used to caching them . Quote Link to post
DRP 3 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think jac meant (I'm assuming here) getting her used to eating the rabbit raw, not freshly caught, lying down in the field for a quick rabbit snack whilst still out. Shouldn't be cooking the rabbit though jac. Just skin it, that'll do the trick. Would probably help if you get her onto some proper food ie chicken carcasses ect. All the best. Quote Link to post
jac 12 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes, I take it home first. Dog has never liked Raw food, just wont eat it. Have to boil bones for her. Funny as her mum and grandma love it raw. Gave her the rabbit skinned but she wont touch it, loves the fur though ran around with that all night lol. She's still young so she may get a taste for it in time. Quote Link to post

jac 12 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Elkhounds are great Hunting Dogs. Although they hunt Elk and Moose, they have also been successfull at hunting Badger, Deer, Bear, Mountain Lions, Raccoons, Rabbits, Squirrels, and upland Game Birds. my dog Hunts Rabbits Squirrels and Birds.
