RE: Yuck
Hi Sue, I know the flea is the intermittant host for tapeworms, flea ridden chipmunks were the plague of my life when I had cats and no the consumption of fur didn't help control the tapeworm. The cats caught the fleas, obviously the kill was fresh and then passed them onto the dogs, dogs nibbled the itchy fleas ingested them and bingo tapeworm! Kitties have gone to heaven, fitted carpets were removed and Pergo put down and touch wood no more fleas and no more tape. Judy Kelly used to breed field trial beagles and they were wormed for tape regularly because of consuming the odd flea infested bunnie. When working the fields they'd eat whatever they found that was tasty even if a bit hung and yep they got tapeworm. I wouldn't rely on fur and feather with fresh or rotten flesh. Oh and by the by many birds have lice so that's another nice thing to have around! Now the crow !!

RE: Yuck
Yes, the hair from an animal does act as a natural wormer. While living in Alaska, I would get a road kill carcas of a moose. We would let the dogs eat the entire leg, hair, hoof and all. I know, it sounds gross. I think I would be concerned with why the chipmunk died, was it diseased?

Darn. Fulton devoured a dead chipmunk while out walking with the kids. What now? Feed Fulton a smaller dinner -- about 1 chipmunk smaller. --Tom Jaskiewicz From New Hampshire, where the bitches are (& Gita & Kepler)strong, the dogs are good looking, and all [EMAIL PROTECTED]the puppies are above average.
