phoebe03cat Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi.. thought I would post here on behalf of my two dobermanns as I'm looking to source some wild game to supplement their raw food diet. It's getting really hard to source rabbits for them, but I'm also trying hard to get some whole-food variety into their meals. Does anyone shoot in the Essex area (we are based in Chelmsford, but will travel) who would be willing to sell anything suitable as available. I don't know much about shooting but guess it would need to be rifle shot trapped or ferretted. Just thought a post might be worth a shot Would also be grateful for any other links which could be useful. Thanks for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 You clearly need someone local to you, to make the exercise economically viable. I would suggest putting a notice in your local Gunshops, Post Office window and other similar locations. Alternatively, get yourself a ferret and some nets.
