champ 1 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 We always caught one or two black rabbits a season in a particular area in Ross but we always let them go because we thought they were bad luck. Did dispatch one on a days ferreting and the van broke down on the way home. good luck Quote Link to post

Deker 3,478 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) Hadn't seen any until about 4 years ago, seen about 5 or 6 since then and dealt with most of them. I have a photo of one but it's film not digital. Just like the picture above though, they are the same as the european but they do seem different. Watched them interact with normal bunnies and they seem to get on just fine! Still waiting to see my first white one! Edited December 13, 2007 by Deker Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,153 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yes there are more and more of them these days only joking just wanted to wind up some of the racists on here. But yes I have seen them quite a lot in Essex but have only seen a few in Kent since I moved here six years ago. Quote Link to post
