rob190364 2,594 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 just getting over it mixi I didn't think rabbits recovered from mixi? I thought once they had it it's game over? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No mate some rabbits can recover,,, they are usually left a bit lumpy and bumpy,,, in fact I always think it a shame when I catch such a rabbit,, would be far better left alive passing on its amunity . I always wonder though,,, if we didn't kill mixys ,, and preditors didn't kill them,,, how many more would get over it,,,,,, or in fact does the diesise actually kill that many,,, are the majority killed by preditors Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I suppose rabbits have that many predators that when they're severely disarmed like that they're easy pickings aren't they. Not sure why but I've hardly seen any mixi rabbits this year, has anyone else seen many? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,512 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Sound like it was recovering shame to kill it as it would breed some immunity into its kits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silentrunner2011 218 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 rabbit didnt move when the dog was slipped, he picke it up in its sitting position. so guess it didnt have much energy either so most probs mixy? was the only rabbit we cought that was like this and ive never seen 1 like it befor?

silentrunner2011 218 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 had to dispatch, would of died anyway as the dog is hard mouthed (bullx) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fitchet 788 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Sound like it was recovering shame to kill it as it would breed some immunity into its kits As already said ive caught a few this year which were just getting over it poor buggers. But lets be honest if the rabbits didn't have mixi killing a few every year we would soon get to the point where mixi could be introduced again ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate before mixy rabbit was in demand. People could go out at night with a longnet and kill 100+ rabbits a night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
