Shot a black rabbit last nite is this wild or someones pet thats escaped? It could be either or it could be the decendant of a domestic rabbit that escaped and bred with a wild rabbits or its colour could have occured naturally in the wild, i think its called melonistic rabbit or something like that. Any photo what size was it? domestics are often bigger than wilds. CB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've had a few black rabbits when i've been out hunting, at the beginning of last year i caught a white rabbit the same size as a normal wild rabbit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BBB 7 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 feed em raw. just gut em. leave head, fur, feet on . never did my dog's any harm. they thrived on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Countryboyo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 All domestics rabbits are the decendants of wild rabbits. when coloured rabbits would occur naturally in the wild they were selectively bred to create new breeds. so they can occur in the wild. but are often domestic escapees. my cousins pet rabbit used to leave the garden and go into the neighbouring field regularly and it was impregnated by a wild buck and had a litter of hybrids.

dogger 100 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 if you feed raw rabbit to the dogs are they more prone to get worms? are you better freezing them first to kill any worms/eggs etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bevwallis 7 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 We get the odd black rabbit down here in Essex- one just the other day. I have never had any choking incident with eating whole rabbit- but i do try to make sure they have been frozen for a 5 day minimum before feeding because of fleas(which the dogs have caught from them before) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 So its ok for them 2 have the bones? I thought they might be a no no like chicken bones. I get a lot of different coloured rabbits in my area, black, ginger, and white legged ones are commenest here. My pack of assorted mutts get fed alot of rabbit, dogs do very well on it... and no, you dont need to worry about bones, as long as you dont cook them. Same goes for chicken and other game aswell!! Raw is the only safe way, plus they get all the nutritional value. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
