Wxm 1,638 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 After seeing several posts on here and FB of large amounts of trapped moles, i was just wondering what happens with the caught moles. anyone use them for anything other than taxidermy?? not sure if id fancy eating them but wondered if anyone prepped them and minced them for the dogs (if possibe) or feed them to BOP / ferrets? is catching them and diposing of them it or is there more use to them?? wxm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frann 882 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Doubt you'd get even dogs eating them, I heard even ferrets turn their nose up at mole? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 My neighbour is a pestie, reckons he heard of one bloke feeding one to a BoP and within a few days the bird was dead.. Not sure if that's true or not.. Moles are venomous, but not sure if that would effect the meat though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
