i have a local butcher who will give £2 for a dressed rabbit, and will take 25 a week. next comes another who pays £1.50 gutted with skin still on. couple of old folk i give them to for free, any left go for dog or ferret food as i dont eat them myself. used to sell a few to a local wildlife park when i lived in norfolk for their otters, place has closed now. always worth asking zoos or safari parks if they want to buy any for feeding to their aniamls, some will pay a couple of quid each but some want a guaranteed supply

No fellah its just a decent bit of scran (altho lacking fat)..... And no feeding rabbit too dogs with there jackets on wont affect there retrieve either

 

Just out of interest mate why dont you feed them the jackets too ?

 

I do fellah heads feet and all guts the lot......... Read my post again iv high lighted it for ya, Rabbits are great bit of food for the dogs just make sure you give a month in the freezer first cause of parasites (They say 3wks but i give a month)

 

Ahh fair enough mate read it wrong. I give mine whole rabbit with guts dropped out.the only problem i get is the bull x will eat them if i leave him in the motor with them. Atb

Oh dont get me wrong ALL mine would eat the lot if left in the motor with there catch, You think you would have caught six and be left with 2 the time you got home lol. But imo fresh rabbits are too bad for worms too feed

i minced some rabbits and chicken carcasses for added fat, and found she was a bit constipated, so had to add veg.

I worm mine every 3 months and i usually freeze mine for a week. A few weeks ago me and a feller of this site had been out on our permission ferreting. We left his 6 week old pup in the moter with a couple of rabbits while we bolted a few for the dogs. When we come back to the truck thr pup had eaten most of a full grown rabbit !!! She looked like she enjoyed it lol.
