Hannah4181 260 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I've fed frozen carcasses and wings before . . . simply because i forgot to get them out of the freezer the night before. I used to work with big cats as well, and in the summer we made the tigers "blood lce lollies" . .. . literally flesh, blood and water frozen in a bucket with a rope in it, once frozen solid, we popped them out the bucket and either tied them up or put them lose in their pools . . . . they loved them, used to go nuts when they saw us carrying one over to the enclosure!

littletimmy 71 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 A dog i use to have collapsed after eating a block of frozen chicken mince, couldnt pick itself up without falling over again for hours and took a few days to fully recover. So i choose not to feed them like that now. better safe thgan sorry. Other dogs have on occassion stole and ate frozen blocks with no ill effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tsteve9999 456 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I put 4xlb bags of tripe and beef to thaw out on a table in the garden yesterday morning, when I went to it on the afternoon there was only 2lb in the bowl and a very contented lurcher lying nearby. He must have thought it was a carvery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
