Aye your no resting them and they probably stink of ferret . So no rabbits going to enter a burrow that smells of a predator

i was thinking that but there does see to be fresh shit outside the burrow but still does not mean anything there ill give them a weeks off then cheers for info

I might be wrong and im sure someone with more knowledge will correct me if so but i believe rabbits generally shit in the same place .. usually outside or close to a hole.. this is because they can re-eat it to get the rest of the nutriants out of ... so even if there not staying in the warrens there will always be fresh shit outside a warren where rabbits are local ... if thats where theyve been before....

 

pretty sure thats correct anyways :)

least you got 1... i put a post up earlier mentioning i got 0

You need to get more nets really as they know when holes arn't netted daft as is sounds, and 90% will bolt out of the holes with no nets on. But the sets certainly need a rest.

 

that is the biggest load of crap ive ever heard... .. ive netted up half the bank and had the other half not netted for the lurcher . and there is no way. 90 percent bolt from the unetted holes...

calm down.. I very much doubt he did a mathmatical assessment and worked out the % of rabbits that bolt from nets and into nets.... surely you could see this was a figure of speech?

 

to put it into simpler words... getting more nets will help.. IF (like me) you dont have a running dog^... as ALOT of the time the rabbit will bolt from the holes you figured you would chance not netting up... sods law<<<< ... I.. as with many others on here no doubt (when learning for example).. have had covered bolt holes or hidden somewhere that youve missed and SODS LAW (not statistic) says the rabbit came out of that one!

 

oh and to the terrier comment... not any terrier makes it a problem,.. I mentioned this before but you need to put the time in to breaking it to the ferrets..it can be done if you can be arsed :)

As youv'e found shite outside holes counts for nothing they could be play hole or anything mate and they need rested more than a week unless you have ground polluted with rabbits over the next door neighbours fence
