suicide rabbit - Page 1

With regard to dog health and food, what is the theory of the suicide rabbit? I forget and cant find it anywhere. Not joking but feel free.
Thanks

Ya got me, never heard of it.

Not to suggest our dogs would reject a meal containing more than one
type of protein;  commercial dog foods often put two or more meats
together, so why would you worry about using that in a raw diet ?

As to the 'suicidal' rabbit in that link:  The dog would almost certainly
ignore it.  Very doubtful whether a wild dog would leave one (larger) kill, to
go chase another, smaller one.  That would be a waste of the energy/
calories it had just eaten, running after the second prey.  Groups of e.g.
hunting dogs, wolves, lions etc may sometimes tackle more than one
animal when hunting, but that recognises the greater number needing to
be fed, and the chances of  one or more targets getting away from them.
A single feral dog that had just killed ?  No chance.  Red Foxes often
ignore rabbit warrens living right next to their dens, at least until times
get really hard and there is nothing else left to hunt.

Unless of course this was a very well-fed and very stupid pet dog.

Thank you.

Suicide Rabbit has nothing to do with raw feeding. It comes from the Berhard Flinks Building Drive and Focus videos produced by Leerburg.
A dog needs prey drive to catch the rabbit and to catch the decoy.  You need to make the dog work for his reward and not stuff the sleeve in his mouth like a "suicide rabbit"
