Yeh mate mine love em aswell n pick there own on walks, I'm not sure of the nutritional properties for em but there is defo alot of goodness in em n my bitch picks n eats loads n they don't seem to do her any harm, I guess foxes will do the same..maybe I should pick a load while there here n freeze them as a treat for the dogs..

TAXI DRIVER 549 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Freeze them for a couple of weeks or boil them before giving them to the dogs or else the dogs could get the blackberry worm which can be deadly. Quote Link to post
