Ferretboy111 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I use frontline spray which is from the vets and expensive, real use is for cats, but crickey it is good- lasts for 6 months intervals i think. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubby Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 feeding ferrets with fur should'ent be a problem, as rabbits should be frozen for at least 3 weeks before hand to kill any tapeworm that the rabbit maybe carrying, leaving them with fur on, stops them sticking together in freezer, frontline spray is best, as stated it kills ticks too, as both fleas and ticks get onto your ferts when you put them down the rabbit hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 We chop the rabbits up into 3rd's (with a big cleaver) and then freeze them for eating later. This way I can quickly grab a 'ready meal' in the morning and defrost it in time for their evening feed. Works best as we often end up with 15+ rabbits at a time. /mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
