DanAdams 10 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I went out on the lamp the other night and got a couple of rabbit, but anyway got home went to sort them out for the freezer so checked them over. One looked a little on the rough side, it's bottom teeth were almost touching its eyes they were that long and just generally looked quite old and rough. I started skinning it and between the fur and the skin there was like a milk liquid, looked exactly like milk, i decided it weren't worth loosing my best working ferret feeding it a dodgy rabbit so that one got burried. Has anyone ever seen this before? Thanks, safe hunting Dan Edited August 1, 2013 by DanAdams Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Sounds like an old Milky Doe, was it pretty skinny with a lot of subcutanious fat (just under the skin)? Quote Link to post

Forgot to say sorry it was a buck rabbit, a good sized buck rabbit that had a lot of muscle and fat on it. ATB Dan Quote Link to post
