RABBITS & CHICKHEN

[Guest Frank]

I am suplementing my whippets diet with raw rabbits and chickhen carcasses, venison ect.

 

I freeze the rabbits for 2 weeks, so as to stop worms ect.

 

She also gets red mills tracker complete, half this and half rabbits & chikhen.

The tracker food is 20% protain and is ment to be used with meat.

 

I have fed rabbits, hares ect in tha past to lurchers, but found because i did not freeze them, they surferd from worms.

 

What you reckon to my way of feeding now folks?

 

Ill get my crash helmet on now, just in case. :11:

got told it was 4 weeks to kill off all the worms and eggs etc, i was freezing for less than 4 and when wormed my pup had what looked like a few worms in her sh1t even though she's wormed and weighed every 3 month.

[Guest Frank]

Thanks so far folks.

 

So 4 weeks is better then 2, ok cheers.

 

I think she will be better off with this deit, then feeding just complete food.

 

I want the best for her, as in the past, (back in the early 90's) i had 4 lurchers, variouse crosses and would put in a half a carcass of deer, throw them whole rabbits ect, but, had to keep worming them

 

Want to do it right this time round, although, they seemed to thrive back then.

Agree with socks, dump the dry food.....

Sounds allright to me ,reading some posts you would imagine dry complete food would kill them lol.

[Guest JDF]

same as yourself Frank,he's stopped eating the dried food though much prefering the meat so i'll do away with the dried food altogether.

[Guest Frank]

Cheers. :thumbs-up:

 

I will give her some Red mills tracker and some rabbit, chickhen, lamb, venison.

 

That should keep her going.
