Rabbit

I bought half a rabbit for Daisy and tried to give it frozen (as she won't eat defrosted meat on the bone) she wouldn't eat it so I thought maybe it was too big so have defrosted it and cut it in two and am re-freezing. However, I cut a little bit off and tried to give it to her, she just spat it out! I also put down the bowl it had de-frosted in, to see if she'd lick up the blood but not interested! She's having tripe for tea so thought I'll mix the tripe in with the blood, maybe get her used to the taste a bit? good idea or bad?

Are many dogs funny with rabbit? Daisy is quite fussy, I always know she likes something if she eats it!

Will try again with the frozen portions another day too.

erm no the boys have no problem with rabbit


does the rabbit have fur on at all? some dogs can be funny with fur or feathers on meat, also rabbit is a lot gamier then other meats she's probably already had. Tough love tend to work well

Love it Ella haven't tried Darcy with rabbit yet. But she can be a fussy little madem too, except for tripe gone in 3 seconds flat

Ewwww Ella   No its been de furred! She was a bit slow with the mixed game at first but loves pheasant and venison! May try it again in the morning. I did mix the blood in with the tripe and she licked the bowl clean!

Does feeding the dog the rabbit not wreck the house?

I feed in the kitchen and put something down on the floor when she's having anything on the bone!

Ha lovely photo Ella

No idea why it would wreck the house, but no there's is nothing left when they have finished, they eat the lot fur, head, guts everything!

Bis loves rabbit too! X

Still no success but will keep trying!

You never fail with them graphic pics ella hahaha

They had some rabbit minced with something else in the shop so think I'm going to get some of that this weekend, hopefully it will give her the taste for it!

I love the pics   

Well Daisy had the minced rabbit and turkey in the week and ate it fine, so today I gave her the rabbit this morning, didn't eat it, gave it her again for tea, she had a bit but has left most of it!! I guess she really doesn't like it!

I guess like us they just don't like some things xx

Yeah, I'm not going to force it any more, she's eaten everything else!

She's not a bunny girl

 No definitely not!
