04fox8 168 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Something happened around our way 18 months - 2 years ago....hardly a rabbit to be seen. Now, there seem to be more than ever..??? No idea what caused that. Strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,474 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 My understanding was myxi was on strain 9 of how many and wasn't up to much as more rabbits where recovering so as usual mans got involved again and came up with this . Apparently its a hot virus meaning it can be carried on clothes etc so maybe some guys are carrying it from one piece of land to another ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poacherkev 64 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've been looking the virus up today and if you go by what all the pros say this virus WILL kill over 90% of all rabbits If that's true it will kill off all us lurcher & ferreting men http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_haemorrhagic_disease Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weasle 1,119 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Saw a story on the net few years ago where they put out mixie and vhd on some plague of rabbits in oz or New Zealand, it was 99. Something fatal ( been a long time since I read it). Since I've seen plenty of very similar rabbits that get mild mixie every year ,suddenly get a dose that wipes them out,you see a few with mixie but most disappear ,a few survivors seem to be traveling from bury to bury,as though lonely, probably stunk out by the smell of all the dead,seen a few rabbits sat by the hedge hop in ,when you get there dead in hedge, head stretched up over there back looking in the sky. Disinfected nets box boots quite a few times last few seasons,because I thought I was spreading it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
