squab 2,875 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 so why boil them lolbecause if you haven't the freezer space to freeze them for 2 weeks to kill tape worm then boiling them will kill the tape worm cyst yep makes sense cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never boil or freeze. Where are the tape worm cysts likely to be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Tapeworm cysts are normally in the liver or intestine but you can have them intramuscular ... So in the meat ... You can normally see them in a horrible looking fluidy sack but that is at the later stage in the early stages you wouldn't see anything but if you fed it to the dogs it would still cause tapeworm etc .......

Neal 1,857 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 All mine have gone straight onto chicken wings and turkey necks as soon as I've brought them home at eight weeks or so. Gives them a great work out at that age but within months it's just crunch, gulp, crunch, gulp...finished! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
