Anyone else feed an all RAW diet?

I tried to purchase a few rabbits from them and my mom freaked out that they had the heads on. We have rabbits at the butcher here but they are gutted and without heads. I'll probably try purchasing them again soon, and promise to hide them in the back of the freezer where she won't see them.

Tasha (that is your name, right? Sorry I feel bad that I don't know) - 2.5 pounds sounds a lot better! lol. But just watch his weight. My girls get about .75 lbs but the "rule" says they should get 1.5 (just 1.25 for Mandy though). He may gain or lose weight, and you'll just need to adjust the food amounts.

Buck is so friggin' active that I have to feed 1.5-2 lbs a day.

Yes, my name is Tasha! I will do that then, 2.5 pounds and then adjust the amount if he loses/gains weight. I have read that is is VERY easy to tell if a Dane is under/overweight, but Bailey has always looked too skinny in my eyes. He may just look skinny because he is literally ALL legs! He weighs 60 pounds, I just can't seem to imagine where all the weight is.

Woo hoo! We bought a freezer yesterday! It's actually a "freezerator". It is built just for the garage. It is about 16 cu ft of freezer on the bottom and 5 cu ft of refrigerator or freezer on the top! Really cool. Of course I wanted just a freezer, but my parents compromised since we'll be getting rid of the garage fridge anyway. I'm really excited. It's supposed to be here Tuesday, and then I'm going to place an order for some whole rabbits, lamb parts, buffalo parts, etc. the same day!

That's great news! My uncle gave us a deep freeze and we just plugged it in. It's nice, since I just packed 33 freezer bags of chicken leg quarters. They wouldn't have fit in my regular freezer.

I have a really tiny freezer right now. It's 6 cu ft, and I am only allowed to use 3-4 cu ft because I share it with my family. This new one is 15 cu ft on the bottom, so it's about 5x the size of what I can use right now. I'm trying to put together an order right now from a farmer who humanely raises and kills their animals! I love that now that I have a large freezer I can also support small farms who treat their animals right instead of factory farms
