camelion 4 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I dont know why people are surprised that the rabbits breed all year round, at one time crops were drilled in the Spring, now the new breed of crops are drilled in October, so the rabbits have plenty of food all year round.

rex 8 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I agree with Sully, on my normal daily walk route 2-3 years ago I would always see 30-40 rabbits about hedgerows etc but now I am lucky if I see 1, and its the same on the lamp, I always had a couple of garanteed fields that held 50-60 rabbits and the lurcher would take 3-4 rabbits in those fields alone, now I am lucky if I see 2-3. I have been reading quite allot about the new RVHD disease, has anyone else heard of this? I have found quite a few dead rabbits with no signs of mixxy. Im in the midlands is anyone else seeing this?
