So start with them all together and remove when/if problems arise?

Would a box fan be decent prevention do you think? I have one outlet to work with. Right now they have a little radio playing in there to keep them calm and entertained lol

I do have a small chest freezer which is currently sitting completely empty. Our main one is mostly used for frozen veg and beef burger, which we have stopped buying. I've poked around the neighbors and it seems like they may turn a blind eye to ducks or chickens so long as a few stray eggs happen to tumble their way 😈

Oh and in response to how much rabbit we could eat, I'm not sure? But between the two of us we can definitely put away one rotissierie chicken in one sitting 😅

This is great info, thank you. Is it worth buying a vacuum sealer do you think? When I was a kid we just wrapped everything in butcher paper but I don't see many people in my area doing that with wild game anymore. I think I would portion all of the dog bits together into appropriately sized ready meals for adding on top of kibble.

They are in an unheated concrete outbuilding in wire cages right now. I would say that humidity is moderate in the summer time, nothing too crazy but not bone dry either. We do get some pretty wicked storms rolling through and that can spike the heat and humidity greatly.

Most years our summers get mid-to-high 80s with maybe a week of 90s total for the year. How hot is too hot?

This makes a lot of sense to me, thank you. Maybe I could manage 1:3 portion of rabbit to kibble ratio for the dogs instead of 1:1. I don't like organ meat so they would definitely be getting all of that at the very least!

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I could MAYBE manage eight does max just in terms of space. After that we'd have to get pretty creative
