minced rabbits or chopped rabbit

[markieboi 0]

was just wondering what would be better or what the ferrets would prefere minced rabbits or rabbits leg dadle ect as if it was minced it would take less space in the freezer

 

cheers mark

I tend to chop off legs and head at home once gutted in the field, leave the fur on, as this stops them sticking together in the freezer, they fit in the freezer a lot better this way, can get around 50 in a small square chest freezer.

take out one rabbit (each day) the night before to de-frost, then the jack russel gets the back half, legs chopped into 4 or so bits

the ferts get the rest, again chopped into large chunk size bits,

the local urban fox gets the skin

no need to fany about with mincing them for the ferts , just chuck them in hole. the wast goes in the dustbin

I chop mine up into chunks when space is at a premium, otherwise they go in minus the head & feet.

In your situation I would chop the rabbit into smaller pieces to suit your freezer, lots of tiny bones in a minced rabbit...OK for the dogs but a small harmless bone fragment to a dog would be a large splinter to a ferret.
