torchey 1,328 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don,t know whats happening this year as the population seems to have exploded,is it the same every where else??i,ve lamped them,roadkills all over[a friends got a few in his freezer that he,s picked up] phone calls asking if i have lost any,theres also a polecat and albino spotted in the lane outside my house,probably a reason why the rabbit numbers are down...

BunnyBolter 16 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 glad to hear theyre on the up be good to see a few my way Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 see a few dead on the road but always have done, haven't noticed an increase. Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,467 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Never seen one myself, people round here must look after them better or their too tight to lose them Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Most of what you see on the road are probably collarless losses searching for roadkills and getting whacked by cars, I would have thought that wild feral ferrets would stick to cover and be very weary, the ferals we see here are only glimpsed as they sculk away into cover, dont see many though.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I saw a big poley in the road yesterday near my house. Was wondering wether it was a pet escaped/lost or if it was feral. Never seen one before. Quote Link to post
