I saw a few in a field on monday

First time I seen them to

[midnight 657]

i uesed to see them years ago and did some research on it , colour variations ocur when the gene pool is small , so whites gingas blacks and pieds all happen naturaly with out the theory that pet rabbits have escaped and bred with the natives .

you need to introduce new blood as the mass extinction of you local rabbit population could be a reality as the genetic also increses / decreases imunity to desease etc , from what i understand shooting bucks and releasing fresh ones from only a few miles away will sort it out , its what the wareners used to do and look out for in there stocked land .

intresting stuff .

i have shot all the colour variants above on one 1,000 acre farm in lincolnshire a few years back !!

[mighty celt 996]
