I shot a rabbit last night that was outwardly in exceptional condition to say the least,but,when it came to paunching it this is what I found........a big bugger too!

We went threw a bad patch of them last season on one permission that we started measuring them :laugh: . the rabbits where loaded with them and there condition showed it

[martin 332]

I find that there are more tapeworms when there's sheep around,was that the case with you Bob?

[The one 8,513]

Aye but i dont have much sheep ground ,the worst was one farm with highland cattle they where just ornaments and wandered where they wanted we where getting 20 ,30 each outing and they where really wormy .I think that may have been due to the rabbit numbers on that ground though ?.

Seen tape worms in rabbits before but found one recently in a salmon. thot that strange never heard of them in salmon before checkt on internet its supposedly quite common

it definately doesnt help their condition, i have done a lot of pest control on Home office land lately with no stock on it and yet they were badly infected with liver fluke and tapeworm.

Can u still eat it

[The one 8,513]

I bin the guts and freeze the rabbits and still use them for ferret food

Liver fluke or 'Coccidiosis'

Are the bad cases of this really spotty white liver what does it do to the meat is it still okay? I thought it was just early mixi?

 

Thanks, Lewis

I've seen a lot of mottled livers from myxy'd bunnies. The young bunnies all seemed to have mottled livers though.

[The one 8,513]

Aye i think its natures way of thinning them out

[Lewis Ste 245]

So is it a natural mixi? I'm confused?
