RAW People-Pheasant

[LBF]

I managed to get a Pheasant down @ the pub and was wondering peoples thoughts on feeding Pheasant neck?

He has the meat from shot rabbits from time to time but no bone as I understand rabbit bones can be quite brittle? Even though he is a small boy (under 7kg) he copes fine with duck & lamb necks.

Thanks in advance!

Mine are fed whole pheasants, sometimes even in the feathers if I don't have time to skin them, with no apparent problems.

Mine get fed whole pheasants minus the feathers!

Daughters whippets eat whole pheasant, pigeon and rabbit. Fur feathers and bones. The bones only become brittle enough to splinter when cooked.

Feed while phessie regularly, I pick out shot. I do find mine get bored of it though. Tend to breast it for myself and dogs get the rest.

Just to say raw rabbit will be fine bones teeth and claws are fine.

Thank you for all your fab replies!
He will be having everything that I don't want.
We also have a lamb head in the freezer with teeth and eye intact-not for the faint hearted ha ha!

My dog caught a wild rabbit last week and scoffed the lot there and then. I often feed raw chicken with bones included. Just wish I could get regular fresh rabbit and pheasant. I live in Norfolk but do not know any hunters or gamekeepers, buying from the butcher is too expensive.
