lost scouse 46 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 people say to freeze them for 3 or more months to get rid of parasites or just worm the dogs more often if you feed fresh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kill um with crisps 7 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 would i be ok to give one to my dog raw of course? I give mine rabbit all the time mate. I gut um and then freeze um for 6 weeks to kill of any tapeworm cysts/eggs. They fit in the freezer better if you cut um in half. Once defrosted you can feed raw as i do ir cooked. If your going to cook um, let um cool down 1st but honestly there much much much better raw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Mine get thew raw and most often eat them in the field on a walk after they've caught them. I worm every 2 months with a vet strength wormer and have no problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,263 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I freeze for a fortnight and don't have a worm problem (nor do the dogs), defrost overnight and feed raw as it's easier, I feed main meal in the morning so defrost during the day if your feeding in the evening. If you skin and gut on getting the catch home or soon as pos, freeze for a fortnight, defrost for around 10 hours, then feed the dog will get a good dose of protein etc without all the crappy bacteria etc that comes with pet meat and you have to worm less often, all good stuff as far as I'm concerned. ps the usual warnings about the risks of feeding bones ie it's a risk so make your own decision rather than do what people like me suggest on a forum.
