jf1970 328 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Cheap ones wont do the job, get something like a Hobart mincer. Pricey but worth their weight in gold and last forever No reason why folk cant feed both minced and whole. If you get a lot of rabbit then you cannot freeze and feed them all. I collect rabbits till the freezers are bursting and have a day skinning and mincing, add chicken, venny, fruit and veg. It's then put into plastic cartons and one of the freezers will be filled with convenient but natural food, and i still have a freezer free to start collecting again. The dogs also get whole rabbits (fur, guts and all) venny carcasses, chicken wings/turkey necks etc. do you defrost the rabbits, mince them, package then re-freeze again?

Moll. 1,769 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 do you defrost the rabbits, mince them, package then re-freeze again? Yes, it doesnt do the dogs any harm, they dont suffer food poisoning the same way humans do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,769 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Peas, broccoli, apple, blackberry, elderberry, cooked pasta, pre soaked dry food, veg oil, a bit of garlic puree, and probably other stuff i cant remember now. It goes through the mincer with the rabbit so it all get mixed up together Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,769 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 There are some on Ebay at the mo, from £300 - £500. Rabbit is not nutritious enough by itself, so i add chicken and other meats when i mince. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snifferboy 659 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks Moll thats more of the sort of reply I was after much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 i mince lambs , pig, ox hearts and tongues, and whole tripes every couple of weeks and pack it into icecream tubs it makes for easy storage in the freezer , if your going to mince stuff buy the biggest mincer you can afford then they last forever the little cheap one aint no good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drillerkiller 0 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 My bitch was bought up on chicken frames, rabbit and various other meats and offal and veg, but when she got older she stopped chewing it enough, so had to stop feeding whole as just too risky, or at least chicken and rabbit. I think its def best to feed whole but there is also times and situations when you need to mince ( ) But too get a mincer up to the job cost lots! More than I can afford. Feeding whole is by far the best, just as long as they chew it up enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
