happy 0 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 If it was vhd they would be skinny and look unwell we had a pet rabbit brought to the door with it and they look terrible had to take it to the vets to get it pts.Reason being the young lass was with it and theyre pc lol otherwise i would have ebded it a lot sooner Found three in as many days. All apparently well filled, no injury, unmarked. Couldn't see any infestation. Healthy looking apart from being dead. I am in Lincolnshire which has been very dry for some time. Might that have an effect? What is VHD? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
