kentlad 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 A few months ago i was out with my mate on the downs and i commented to him how many rabbits there were and how promising it looked as there seemed to be no mixy, However as usual i spoke to soon, as over the last couple of weeks the rabbit population round my way has been hit realy hard its a real shame as this seems to happen every year. My terriers are catching mixy rabbits every day when ive got them out, I'm allways a bit worried though can dogs catch anything of mixy rabbits? all the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigdazz 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) well in the summer its never to bad as they spend most of the time in crops but now the crops hav been cut they spend more time in the ground which means more rabbits in the warrens that tends to be why you see more this time of year Edited September 12, 2006 by bigdazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FastDogz 155 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 When i was lived in W Yorks Myxi was there constantly!!! I dont know how the Rabbits didnt disspaere completely But your dogs are safe :thumbs-up: My old Terrier caught quite a few and lived to tell the tale..Until he chased a cat into the middle of the road Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 This is my first year shooting rabbits, what signs for mixxi should I be looking for? Havent seen anything sus yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FastDogz 155 Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Main signs are Rabbits with Gooey Manky eyes,dull lifeless fur,failure to move properly. Although my dog used to take Myxi rabbits (kindest thing to do) I once saw a really young un down a quite country lane and i had no dog with me..It was near the road and didnt react when i appraoched I nearly filled up...I had to used the nearest wall.
