stormyboy 1,352 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Not saying it's restricted or related to colour but blacks usually crop up when numbers are up, as does myxi. No direct correlation but I've rarely seen black rabbits where rabbits are scarce. 1 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 45,270 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Sounds like the men in black are dropping them off then when they are collecting the big cats off side of the road??? Is mixi not carried by a flea? Rabbits recover and pass on immunity to their young, until the warrens become overcrowded again? Too many rabbits in a warren, too hot,or wet(if its cold it lays dormant?) and you get outbreaks? Or we on the old conspiracy theory that black rabbits are just carriers that are purposely put down to control numbers? Whos behind it all? Government? Defra? Nfu? Or the f***ing Russians? Some cnut put me out of me misery Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 45,270 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Last time i was up in the Highlands and speaking to the keepers and old farmers, they said that a big cold spell few yrs before had all but wiped them out. 3/4 yrs down the line they started to get back to normal numbers. Rabbits start digging out the old warrens where rabbits had died and mixi starts up again??? Seems more truth in that imo than seeing black rabbits and those being the reason why it flares up in areas? 1 Quote Link to post

Nobody said black rabbits are the reason for myxi flaring up. Let me spell it out. Again. For the hard of learning. Blacks are recessive to common coloured rabbits and occur when numbers are higher meaning more chance for recessive genes to manifest, or in isolated populations where the same occurs. Myxi breaks out, as you've said in several posts , when populations increase, along with the vector of myxi, the flea. So no, the men in black aren't responsible, and fleas, to my knowledge ( which is fecking immense), are not bigoted or colour preferenced. They bite any old rabbit. It's all just coincidence- black rabbits = population increase, population increase = myxi. So there you have it, hopefully that's put you out of your misery! You can thank me later. 2 Quote Link to post
