Mixy ??


Recommended Posts

Been hunting the local Rabbits as long as I can remember, cant recall ever seeing it here, until the bitch retrieved one last night with swelling on its eyes, gutted to say the least its my best local bit, my question in your experience is how fast does it spread and should I not let it rest and hit the same spot every night and get as many mixy ones as I can or would that be a futile attempt to stop the inevitable?

Fast very fast in deed

 

just get out and hit as many as you can may not stop it but you will slow it down

 

be fore you no it it will wipe the whole lot out bar a few who will pull through it

 

Its not nice not nice at all terrible disease and to think its man made

 

They may be vermin but even vermin don't deserve to die that way

 

HIT THEM ,HIT THEM HARD

Where abouts in east lancs are you , im in accy and mixy has wiped my permissions from garstang to great harwood over the last couple of years. Dont know how fast it spreads but its a sickener when you see your permissions being wiped out , even my bankers in harrogate have been done in with it . Id just leave it and get out looking for new land

We get myxi here every year. This year it seems quite a mild strain and it hasn't wiped the rabbits out, there's still plenty left. Those that the dogs caught seemed to be getting over it without having gone to skin and bone as they do sometimes. It varies a lot in intensity and symptoms, or do some survivors just build up better immunity?

On some ground Iv seen one rabbit with lumps all over it, eyes crusty n look at bursting point, pretty much dead, BUT that same ground still has loads on it. Lots of healthy rabbits too. Strange really, because on another permission I had few years back we saw one with milder symptoms and within 3 weeks we went back and literally didn't see one rabbit, where in the night before mixi you could easily see 200 odd.

It was round hapton not long back , looks like its reached your way now . Its a shame , the rabbit population has never been that big round here and everytime it looks to be getting better it goes bad again . The land i have over harwood had a fair few a couple of years back but in the space of 2 weeks you were lucky to see one

Garstang st Michaels pilling etc is full of mixy at the moment Neil its hit them hard again

I know garstang is , ive not got any land at st michaels or pilling but its not a surpise , Me and a mate had a drive round by st michaels on our way to a job in blackpool last week and didnt see anything about , didnt even see any dead ones on the road . Bleasdale , barton and claughton got hit earlier in the year aswell
