What does a wild Siberian husky use to kill its prey?
In the case with dogs, most of them don't kill their preys as their wild wolf cousins do because of their domestic history (raised by humans who feed them) UNLESS they are either feral dogs or dogs who were trained for hunting purpose. So how these dogs who do kill preys killl them is also different from the way the wolves do it. Sometimes it depends on how one was raised and its personality. If the owner suppressed it's hunting drive as a pup then it won't likely see any live animals as prey and thus will not do harm to them (unless it runs feral).
Like all large breeds, Siberian huskies (the ones with a hunting drive kept intact) generally pick on small non-canid animals like groundhogs, wild rabbits, and mice. And due in part to the husky's hunting dog ancestry, this breed is an expert at catching and KILLING smaller animals with little training required (although you'll need to keep that dog away from domestic rodents).
So to answer your question:
How they kill their preys vary depending on their respective environment and sometimes how their human hunting companions trained to to kill.
Example #1: Feral Huskie's Hunting Tactic
A feral husky (and there's a lot of those in Canada due to bad owners who abandon them) usually scavenges on dead animals but will simply chase down a live groundhog if one is available. The husky allows the groundhog to escape into its den but does not leave the sit, simply using its nose to track down exver alternate exits the groundhog may use. Once the groundhog emerages from hiding, the dog will leap at it and deliver a fatal blow to the stomach and then its dinner time. Feral huskies also eat squirrels, ducklings, goslings, and feral cats. Killing them the same way they would do on a groundhog. In the case with waterfowls, they'd chase off the parents and then grab the weakest of the offspring. They don't go after large hoofed animals though due to the lack of strengths (afterall, huskie's are not wolves).
Example #2: As a Hunting Dog
A hunting dog cannot kill a large animal like a deer or moose without the help of their human companions. The Chukchi people who bred the early Siberian Huskies did most of the hunting but occasionally allowed their dogs to do the killings for them. In this case, one hunter would fire a projectile at a medium sized hoofed animal, taking it down and then the huskies would run ahead and bite the prey in multiple spots until it's dead. This method lasted for thousands of years prior to the improvements of hunting rifles. Huskies usually aim for the neck to suffocate which give the hunters enough time to finish the animal if necessary.

How much food do you feed a Siberian husky puppy?
Veterinarians suggest feeding your dog twice daily, as opposed to once a day, because it allows a more easy, healthy digestion. Siberian huskies are bred to be runners, and they require large amounts of food when active, especially when in their natural working mode as a sled-dog. Less active huskies, most of which are adopted as stay at home pets instead of sled-pullers and runners, tend to eat less because when inactive they are burning less energy and calories, and therefore need less food.
I had a 60 lb. male husky who I would feed 3 cups a day, 1.5 cups in the morning around 6am and 1.5 cups in the evening around 6pm. I now have a 45 lb. female husky (females tend to be 10-15 pounds lighter than males) who I also feed at 6am and 6pm, but she eats about 2.5 cups of food a day, 1.25 cups at each meal. For any other questions about how much to feed your dog daily, refer to the weight chart on the back of your dog's food. For puppies, you may also refer to the chart, or, because of their rapid growth rate and different sizes even within the same litter, consult your veterinarian.
How cold a temperature can Siberian Huskies tolerate?
