Piglet and pork pies - not the same thing. Whole rabbit and whole rabbit - pretty similar ;-) How do you lads who feed whole rabbit have the dog not eating them in the field? Simple dogs ain't stupid they know the difference in hot and cold game , same way when you send a dog used for pigeon shooting out for a runner they don't go and pick up all the dead ones out as decoys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pattstaff 157 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Freeze the whole rabbit for a week,defrost and fed the lot just as nature intended.Dogs need the vegetable matter in a rabbits stomach.I dont think theres better feeding than whole carcass feeding.

Good Man 196 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Rabbits are full of tapeworms ect, freezing for a month, kills them. However, i have in the passed also fed raw warm rabbit and venison and they thrived on it. I did have to worm them every month mind, as they crapped out long tape worms and segments on a regular basis! Their is nothing better, then watching a litter of pups, demolishing a whole deer carcass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
