Lewis & Clark on their expedition of the future western states were starving and freezing from the winter cold. They soon learned from the Indians (Native Americans for those insisting on being politically correct) to not waste time, energy and food by cleaning the rabbits they obtained. Instead threw the rabbits whole in the fire, cooked with the fur on and consumed them ala natural.
If it will work with a rabbit, ought to work with a HBG.
I was reading on a web forum from Australia that they are raising guinea pigs as livestock for table fare. One method of cooking these delicacies is to toss them on the fire, fur and all! I suppose, but that just don't sound too appealing to me.
You ever look at your kids hamster or gerbil in a cage saying that might go well with some biscuits and gravy?
