borntoshoot 1 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 went to chack my snares this morning and they were empty, probably due to the rain last night, but on my way down to have a look at the wood i managed to pick a mixi by hand and neck it and gutted it, will pick it up tomorrow for the dog, its covered by a big log and a load of fern leaves and stuff so it should be ok. but feck im gunna have to cull them all, i dont want to but im gunna have to, i want to keep it sustainable ammount of meat and theres not that many as it is.

Yep all perfectly fine to eat although the serioulsy infected ones wont have much meat on them. Only rabbits get affected by it. JoeD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoeD 24 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ok to feed the dogs but i really dont fancy eating one :sick: it cant be good to eat summat diseased can it ? It isn't harmfull at all to us, the dogs, ferrets or whatever you feed them to, once prepared it just looks like any other rabbit prepared, just a lot less meat on them. Most people don't eat myxi rabbits because they don't like the way they look, and it puts them off and thats fair enough, me on the other hand think thats a waste of an animal and threfore if I don't eat it, then the ferrets will.
