The one 8,482 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 It a sign that the female rabbits are in season although this snow may knock it back a bit now Female rabbits in season Quote Link to post
steveS.Yorks 161 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 The reason is the Tannin in the bark their eating,the same chemical used to tan leather years ago before synthetic substitutes,they used to collect acorns and "tread" them like grapes with spiked boots in a vat to get it,bark's full of the stuff,not many rabbits are going to ovulate when their starving are they? Is mother nature that stupid,lol. 6 of the rabbits i got last week wer full of youngins mate Well i dont breed rabbits mate so i dont know if they produce red urine when they are in breeding condition,and ive seen young rabbits with snow down in my time,but ussually later on in a cold snap,my mate found a dead leverette last season at xmas? although the weather wasnt that bad. When you catch a buck and "piss it" when the snows been down a while and its "red" is it coming in season? Quote Link to post
watchman 256 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 you can pick what colour it is exactly how im finding it on my permission,might have to take a B&Q colour chart for the exact colour match Quote Link to post
micky 3,325 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 if you eat beetroot , its your shit that goes red ,not your piss. Quote Link to post
the white bhunter 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) exactly right micky as i said earlier on there is no arable land around the permission or market gardens its all dairy land so the beetroot theory is out of the window the only other expanation is the bark theory as they have been chewing hell out of the hawthorn bushes at the base and climbed onto lower branches to chew them this seems to be the only explanation or red berries even Edited January 11, 2010 by the white bhunter Quote Link to post
conor.k 2 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 dont think the rabbits are in season the cold and snowy weather would hold it back Quote Link to post
micky 3,325 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 exactly right micky as i said earlier on there is no arable land around the permission or market gardens its all dairy land so the beetroot theory is out of the window the only other expanation is the bark theory as they have been chewing hell out of the hawthorn bushes at the base and climbed onto lower branches to chew them this seems to be the only explanation or red berries even you missed my point mate ,i think the colour of food will show more in the discharge from the bowels, than the bladder ,so untill somebody shows me some red shit ,iwill go with the coming into season theory Quote Link to post
steveS.Yorks 161 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 You cant argue with blokes who breed rabbits if they say it turns red when they come in season i beleive it,but the buck piss is dark as well,maybe its both reasons? Ive caught loads of rabbits that have been feeding on Beetroot,if they eat enough it turns their flesh a pink hue,and some of the best tasting rabbits ive ever eaten were these beetroot pinky ones,just thought ide chuck that in.

the white bhunter 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 its a wide open question open to no number of answers but it still remains there is no beetroot anywhere in the area unless they can open jars so that isd out of the window so that leaves the in season and bark answers Quote Link to post
