as has already been said foxes deffinatly take new born lambs, seen it myself when i worked on a farm as a young lad. personally i dont think they have any noticable impact on rabbit numbers.

 

i know to a fox that got into a laying shed with 6000 hens he had got to have been in there at least all night by the time he was discovered. and the fecker never even killed a chicken why that was i will never know.

Ffs what a stupid question to ask

[Aussie Whip 4,226]

Where I am rabbits seem to be there major food source,often see them sitting next to a warren squatted down like a cat,waiting to pounce.I think some target lambs mainly when just born.

just because you don't have the answer doesn't make the question stupid and it doesn't make you stupid either! You did that all on your own.

Seen plenty of foxes 'in action' after rabbits, when I've been setting traps in the burrows...

When they strike a rabbit, they are incredibly fast,..usually the rabbit panics and just gets snapped up, real quick...

It's amazing to watch...

However,..on a place with a lot of rabbits, I don't think foxes make much of a dent in the population.

 

I am always reminded of the old Poacher's saying,..." A Stoat kills a lot he doesn't eat and a Fox eats a lot, he doesn't kill"...
