Thanks for all the info, I am really enjoying feeding my dogs the raw stuff. I am desperate to try them on a whole rabbit or something whole just to see what they will do. I seriously cant find anywhere though where i can get hold of something whole. Any tips on where to buy, already killed, rabbits or pheasents etc.
Also i have read that someone said contact your local abattoir. Oh my god is that serious??? Do they seriously sell to members of the public??? I am one of these that is a chicken when it comes to ringing and finding out info, i know i know, im never going to find anything out unless i ring them but i just wanted to double check that this is a good idea before i make a fool out of myself and ring them.

Cheers

Well if you don't ask, you'll never know and since you are in mildenhall get yourself over to Martin Eagle's weekly poultry auctions at Elvedon which is where you will get all the rabbits you need already dead with fur on etc.
Not being funny or anything but if you won't ask or try to find out yourself, why should anyone do it for you? What's the worst thing which can happen? The person says "no, we don't sell that sort of thing here but you could try such a place"?
I can't imagine what it must be to go through life afraid to get information because you are frightened to ask someone a question. Must be awful to live in perpetual fear :-(
You have my sympathy.

Ok thanx for that. I will try to find out what day that is on and go and have a look.

It's on Wednesdays. It's a poultry sale too so you might also pick up some cockerels to kill for the dog. If you can't kill them, as one of the old boys there who will do it for you.

Cheers for that, i went to elveden and it has moved to Holywell Row now. I did go and have a look, i was feeling brave, LOL, i didnt buy anything though. They didnt seem to have any already dead rabbits, just plenty of pet rabbits to buy in the auction. Me and my hubs will go there another week and get some chickens i think and even if i cant kill them it will be good to have the eggs, LOL!!

Thanx again for the tip and also thanks for giving me a bollocking about being too scared of everything cos it made me think so at least i went and had a look. Thanks again!!!!

Also, i picked up a freshly killed pheasant from the road and threw it to the dogs and they werent keen. So i skinned it and cut some bits of meat off it to mix in with their other meanty bones and they still wouldnt eat the pheasant so they obvioulsy prefer chicken and meaty bones, LOL

rollickings are my speciality as any here will tell you
glad you went to look though. Next time you go, just ask any of the old boys about the availability of 'game'. If they have none at the sale, the chances are they might know someone who ferrets or lamps. Don't buy shotgun killed rabbits as they are full of lead pellets. You need ferreted or .22 shot ones.

I guess asking people for stuff is a lot less scary than telling me you are too scared to ask

Hey just a quick question, which has nothing to do with feeding but i may as well ask. Do you know much about VERY timmid dogs and how to get them out of themselves???

what breed? what sex? how old? how long have you had it? Does it live with any other dogs?
Dogs can be timid for any number of reasons and I would have to know a bit about the background before I could offer any advice.
If you wanted to PM me, I can give you my phone number and talk a few things through (I run a dog advice line). It's easier than asking a question here, then waiting for a reply, then typing another, then waiting again.
