lawrence 657 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 depends on if your feeding them after freezing or feeding fresh, if from frozen just stick to your usual worming routine,although nobody has explained to me where the idea of the 3 week time scale to kill worms came from, i don't leave them that long and never had any bother. from fresh you'll need to worm more often but for the price of a couple of drontal tabs, i've no problem with feeding whole carcess fresh rabbit myself, though most will disagree.

waidmann 105 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 feeding whole is undoubtedly the "most natural" approach( all greens,calcium,protein and fat are included). any carbs will be to the biggest part half digested(corn etc in the stomach of the rabbit). i'm not sure where the three wek freezing comes from but i have heard it alot.a mate freezes for a week for the same reason. as far as worming goes i would go for the 6 weeks above,changing types of wormer every now and again. i don't feed whole but will start when the dogs a fully trained and catching for themselves( i don't want to jepardise the retrieve trainig we have going to date). atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevin kiely 66 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 if there are fleas in the fur of the rabbit wouldnt they cause tapeworm if fed whole Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I feed them whole and intact, mine like them best still warm! I worm every 6 weeks and have never had a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I worm every 6 weeks and have never had a problem. just out of interest do you not have any " self service" meals while out lamping or "in the car accidents"? some thing thats always bothered me about feeding game. i cook the rabbit before feeding to try and avoid this. allthough mine are still pups really (10 and 5 months). i'm sure they would get stuck in to it and love it. always been a biy carefull with it i suppose waidmann Quote Link to post Share on other sites
inan 841 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 i feed mine every 2 month and had no problems I should think they might be a trifle underweight by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
