maxwell 88 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hope fully these heavy frosts should put them back a bit Quote Link to post
The one 8,503 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 There wasnt a hard frost here till december so allowing three weeks for the pregnant ones to drop then get the message theres a cold spell coming its only now i wouldnt expect to see young rabbits Quote Link to post
Arry 22,363 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 We have always had the odd one or two right through winter but I was surprised to find seven out of seven. Trouble is we get one or two frost then it goes mild again. After tilling a hedge the other day had to take my jacket off down to a T'shirt then the trouble is you get carved up diving in the hedge to get a rabbit. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post

Bobtheferret 1,252 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Only good thing is with many people reporting low numbers if they start early and have a successful breeding year rabbits being rabbits next year could be a bumper year for them. I always notice the lower the population of an area the quicker they start breeding. Atb Quote Link to post
