Tapeworm

[mixer123 3]

ferreting today we got 4 rabbits when I got home I skined and cleaned them out 3 were grand but 1 had a lump on its back leg i was thinking it was tapeworm cysts (spelling) If I put the other 3 in the freezer for a few days will that kill any thing on them

Put all four in freezer for 3 weeks.

freezing them will kill anything,chop out the cyst and give that one to the ferrets.

[The one 8,594]

As said just cut round the cyst bin that bit and use the rest ,A good rabbits 3Lb of good meat its a shame to waste it

cysts are filled with a watery liquid and will probably have a tapeworm inside them

absese are hard and will have puss in them which will look a bit like lemon curd and they stink
