Kent_keith 46 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 One of the rabbits I shot last had this on its leg, I binned it because it looked like a Parasite or string of eggs to me, can anybody tell me what it was???? 1 Quote Link to post

Kent_keith 46 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Don't take my word for it so best google it yourself but I read it only affects rabbits, dogs, foxes, and it does not cross over to humans, still don't fancy eating em though Quote Link to post

Kent_keith 46 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 True I could, but I'm not that hard up for rabbit meat, I wouldn't even feed it to my dog after I saw that thing on its leg, only good place for it is the bin, Just my option. Quote Link to post
