Aussie Whip 4,099 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) 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.

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 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"... 4 Quote Link to post
