Rabbit sizes.

[Brimmer 220]

Right aside of todays disasters, it gave me the chance to get a few rabbits of todays bag on the scales before gutting.

I had my suspicions of late whilst buckling under the weight that we had been hitting some biggies, and the jills probably agree, The last couple of weeks i've had to step it up and use my smaller hobs in the place of the jills to get things moving, a little more muscle has helped, but feel today that even these little hobs are finding the job a challenge.

 

Tonight I can understand why, heres a few photos, they are genuine, and not bullshit.

They really need to go on a diet, the biggest was 4lb 10 oz, at least 16 of them were 4lb ers, smallest 3 lb 7oz (Skinny c**t!)

Them dales bunnys have always been big boys and girls,, and the odd thing is,, the higher you get up there the bigger they get,,, where as sometimes in the more lush fertile valley bottoms there often smaller,,, wich I have never got my head round.

 

About 3 week ago I went down Suffolk lamping ,,, had 18 and what poor rabbits they were,,,
