Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I know many of you will have seen odd coloured rabbits but here in wiltshire seeing a rabbit is odd at times .Took Local out for a stalk the other evening and thought i'd take the .22 to see if the ginger rabbit was about that id seen previously .The long and short was that although we saw plenty of does ,we never saw a buck but did manage the ginger rabbit off sticks as i rounded a corner .Shot a normal one for comparison to feed the dogs as well .

cbw 4 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 So are these cross breeds/hybreds or just mutants? CBW Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 i think they are wild mutants as you put it mate .Certainly no tame stock near this one of mine . Quote Link to post

postiepaul 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Can only remember ever seeing one ginger, and that was caught while ferreting in the 1990s. It was in fine condition like the one pictured, and there was almost certainly no domestic in it. Quote Link to post
The one 8,482 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Looks a nice big rabbit next to the normal coloured one Quote Link to post
