Feeding

[rob190364 2,594]

Is it OK to feed dogs and ferrets on pretty crows, squirrels, pigeons etc. as long as they're regularly wormed? or is there some reason why it's not advisable? Just bought my first airgun from a lad off here and I was just wondering what I can and can't use for dog and ferret food.

 

Cheers

I wouldnt give crow to anything but the bushes mate but squizzers, pigeon, most birds, rabbits are ok for the ferrets. Rabbits are ok for the dogs too. I wouldnt give the dogs squizzers and i would nt give pigeons to the dogs neither as there aint much to them once youve cut the breast off to eat yourself and i just give it to the ferrets.

Ok cheers, I'd just give pigeons to the dog whole, that's ok isn't it?

Yes its ok mate but pigeons good meat for us, if it were me i would rather have it myself! Lol! Just either pluck or skin it and gut it then drop it on the floor for the dog. I still think you would be better to cut off the breasts and let the ferrets have the rest though. Cut the breasts into thin slices, fry off some onion and garlic, drop in the meat, give it a good stir, add salt n pepper, various herbs, a handfull of dried cranberrys, 2 handfulls of frozen peas, let it simmer till almost done then add a tin of chicken soup. At the same time be boiling a cupfull of rice, once the rice is done strain it and put it in with the rest of the dinner. Give it a good stir and serve, its lovely!
