  4. You need too ferret in the winter, and have a freezer, not every one does this, but this is my method, i skin the rabbits and carve a pound of meat off them, this is for the dog the remainder is bagged and goes to the ferrets. Anything you want to know about feeding, hutches etc, do a search on here and tons of info will come up.
