FWBO 4 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) I live on a relatively thin peninsula and due to culling by a fancy hotel and the control of a cricket club, there are no rabbits on land that was previously swarming with them. The cricket club spread a lot of mixied rabbits about as well. I am hoping to get the rabbits going on a few permissions using ferreted rabbits. There is plenty of food and cover at the sites and I was looking to dig some artificial buries to release them in. Anybody that could assist by allowing me to come ferreting with them and take some live bunnies. cheers Edited July 30, 2009 by FWBO Quote Link to post
ferret1 6 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Dont let anybody know that you are doing this as local farmers will not be happy especialy if crops start getting damaged. The hotel will not be best pleased if they find out either. I would nt bother and travel further to get permission. Quote Link to post

max abell 196 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 It is highly illegal for this cricket club to spread myxi though very hard to prove Why anybody feels they need to spread this sickening disease is beyond me when there are plenty of ferreters out there willing to control the rabbits humanly ????????

FWBO 4 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was really worrying about the legal stuff. I've sent a PM just to talk about the theory... No not Leasowe - though I did used to have permission for a golf course nearby there You must have an idea where I mean because, to the best of my knowledge, there are only two areas on the Wirral with rabbits. As you near Neston and Ellesmere Port they seem to appear again - strange Quote Link to post
