mallakoff Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks evankirsty and AndrewL I've got a question about rabbits in Australia. After all the diseases we gave them are they ok for my dogs to eat ? I'm sure this is a common question but couldn't find a post relating to it Quote Link to comment
Dooley Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Although most are probably ok to feed to your dogs, and y with Myxo or Calici are also probably highly infected with worms due to thier poor health so I tend to steer away from them and only feed out healthy bunnies. Quote Link to comment
mallakoff Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Been doing some late night walks with 'em lately ,there's been a tons of possums around ,cheeky little buggers just sit on fences and tease the dogs ,The WH X IH has a good standing jump she's gonna drag one down soon. (I have just been informed that's it's probably illegal for my dogs to kill possums, so I'm taking extra care on those late nite walks now.) Edited February 2, 2012 by mallakoff Quote Link to comment

Cheers Dooley thanks for the reply .Do you just look at the condition of the rabbit and can know it health? ie: not a skinny little mangey scag but good healthy fur and muscle condition etc...Am i on the the right track here? As you can see I'm totally new to all of this, and what is obvious to you seasoned hunters I'm not to sure of. When you skin the bunnies you should be able the see the little cyst's of worms right? or are they internal ? I've been looking at pics of tape worm infected bunnies in the Running Dog Maintenance book. They advise to freeze the bunnies for a couple of weeks to kill worms. Still if i saw some shit like that on rabbit I'll toss it 'n not let the dogs eat it ,looks pretty rank I'm doing some reading about myxomatosis online as I don't really know about what they did in the 1950's to the rabbits in Oz...erm trying to learn as much as i can. Thanks for the help Sam just looking at these some of these answers in regards to myxomatosis and dogs what do you guys think ? http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080110014507AAy4dqK Edited June 5, 2012 by mallakoff Quote Link to comment

Jackban Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 If you are worried at all about the rabbits freeze them for 2+ weeks and that will kill any worms or bugs that they may have. They are good for dogs, but they cant live on them as they have a very low fat content. Quote Link to comment
