I tried offering my dog rat meat, she is use to eating raw, frozen raw, feet, eggs. But she didn't want the frozen rat. But she loves her live rats, so I decided to skin it. The frozen ones have a particular smell. Kind of like how they smell alive, but wet and just not appealing. Fresh pre killed rats are a lot worse, especially when you get to the organs. She still didn't want that rat, furred or skinned. I am not sure how other skinned animals smell, but if they smell anything like that, I may be turned off of meat completely. Do they all smell like that? Deer, rabbit, poultry?
Have you skinned anything yet? I was 100% confident that I would be fine with the sight of everything, but toss the smell in there and I was a little woozy.
Squirrel Jerky? Sign me up! I haven't had squirrel in years and you can't beat squirrel and gravy on rice. =D So take what I said about rats from someone who has already eaten squirrel.
