Stevo Smith Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Ok i will be off shooting rabbits tomoz and sat.......i will be using a rifle so buckshot will not be an issue........the dogs will get the rabbits and i will keep some myself for a stew.........I was wondering if the skins need to be removed or not...i know they eat the lot in the wild but i will be removing the heads also cause that is where i will be making the kill shots and dont want them eating and spent round.........also what about the offal?

Saffmonster Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I don't want to think about it. I used to have a pet rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darc-Brittany Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm pretty sure you could give them the skins, I've seen videos of people just giving them the whole carcass. Not expert advice, just from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Smith Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just been having a look about raw feeding rabbit and looks like you can give it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Tao&Sky Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 You will need a gas mask after they have eaten them. ...........Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dygosamikita Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Not sure about how to feed rabbit..........we tried giving my two some deer legs with the fur still on, they wouldn't have anything to do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellystewart Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yup feed whole with the fur. I can't imagine mine having an issue with the fur but perhaps just start skinning them a little so they get the idea. I feed mine everything raw and for their Xmas they each got a calves leg! (couldn't get the skin on unfortunately tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calin Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 What rounds are you using? Depending on that, letting them eat the head shouldn't be an issue as long it goes clean through.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulusworm Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Sorry for the late reply. Would play it safe and take the heads off because of residue from the round. Am still trying to find my first permission so that I can do the self same thing. BASC membership sorted but no FAC for me yet though so gotta make do with my .22 air rifle.................... for now . Hoping to apply for that in the not too distant future.

Mazz Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Last year, Zoya captured one on her own, and proceeded to devour the thing. She instinctively shook the heck out of the poor thing, It was rather gastly to observe. Were we live, eastern Iowa, rabbits are known to carry tapeworms. They also are often infested with fleas. So those would be two concerns if the same holds true in your part of the Husky Kingdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
