Really scary, isn't it? :twisted: We HAVE to have some genes in common SOMEWHERE!

JessicaR":2x73ff1r said:general rule is you feed 2-3% of their body weight. It all depends on how active they are. Feed more if skinny less if overwight. I would remove the fur, I would also remove the head but that is just me. Seeing our dogs munching on a head would be too much for me I would love to raise rabbits and chickens for my dogs but I just cant seem to get passed the killing part and I dont know anyone that would do it for me.

Me too! Plus I've always just loved Rex. Don't tell Hubs, :lol: His name ain't Rex!
I also want Satins. I'm thinking Mini-Satins, even. My Rabbitosis has really been flaring up lately.

You will LOVE Satins! I too want Mini-Satins, but couldn't find them here. Oh well.
Color-wise, I am particularly fond of the red. That flaming scarlett is gorgeous - but so far, it doesn't seem to matter what color the rabbit is - if it has that Satin's shiny coat, it is a stunner.

bramble hedge...you are giving your dogs some organ meats though right? I ask because it's important that they get some.We process our buns just as we would for ourselves - that is they have no internal organs, head, feet or skin. Hubby just cuts the carcuss in half with meat cleaver and they get half each.
Hi seeing as how I raise rabbits and own a 8 month old Great Dane and my mixed breed had a litter 3 months ago was wondering if you have fed your Dane this diet as a puppy...I am just looking to create a healthier diet and supplement some of their kibble to decrease my expense of buying tons of the expensive high quality dry food...I always have excess rabbits and am thinking would be a good way to cut down on kibble while giving them a healthy option. I'm worried if I go full raw diet that they won't get necessary balanced nutrients that puppies, and especially Dane pup needs...do you have any digestive issues especially with the Dane feeding both dry and raw?remember that rabbits have very little body fat. dogs fed raw need other meat also. we have tow dogs that eat all raw and tow that are partial raw eaters. We put all butcher scraps from our beef and pork, bones, organs, everything in tubs in the winter and a chest freezer in the summer. toss each dog an appropriately sized chunk, takes all of 3 minutes. our dogs are beautiful and very healthy. the 8 year old great dane, who eats partial raw, doesn't have a speck of plaque on her teeth.
as far as the rabbits go, if I have one for the dogs, it simply gets tossed at them whole. they are carnivores, they dont need help.
