its down in cork to in a few places the only thing its grand for pups to get rattle of them

When any of my places get hit with myxy I stop killing any of them. Think of this. If one rabbit in ten survives the disease then this is the rabbit that will breed more partially immune stock. If you

Yes but it is getting hit every year because your leaving them on the land.Get rid off them and you get rid off mixy.Yes they can breed again but if it on the land they will get it in the end

MIXY,S A CUXTOF A SCOURGE FOR US .

EVERYONE KNOWS THOUGH MIXY IS USUALLY INLAND.

COASTL,E BUNNIES ONLY GET HIT LIGHTLY 30/70.

WHEARAES INLAND BUNNIES GET RATTLED 75/25.

I NO OVE 2 PLACES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN BLIGHTED WITH MIXY.

RABBITS ARE A SCOURGE, BUT LONGNETTING,KEEPS THE PLACE CONTROLLED,NO GAS .

PERMISSION IS JUST A ON YE GO.. :thumbs:

due to the very mild autum and winters we have experienced over the recent years the fleas and tics have been active for longer so the virus has been around for longer. from my observations it seems to go in 5 year cycles. year 1 the area will be descimated then over the next 4 years it will recover to roughly 3/4 of the origanal population. its as if they have a sort of semi immunity with just odd ones falling to the virus. then in year 5 a full on outbreak again. then the cycle continues loosing a 1/4 of their number every time so the population gets smaller and smaller.
