gogogadget 1 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 iv got a lot of rabbits out the back of my house,i noticed on sunday that a single hole had been dug probably about a foot to two foot deep, when i came back from work today it had been filled in, anybody know why this is? my thought is that their is young ones in the hole but not quite sure.

Rolfe 2 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yes .........could be a breeding stop as the doe rabbit will seal the kits in the chamber until she returns to feed them. look and see if it gets opened up again at some point. Rolfe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netter 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'll second that Rolfe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rolfe. He will be lucky to see it open, as the female rabbit will only go in with them for a very short time(5-10 mins). And try not to disturb it, as she will abandon them at the first hint of any disturbance. Well spotted though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogogadget 1 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 seen it open the other morning before i went to work and it was covered up again when i got home,anyone know how long will it be before the young will be on the top? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy.t 5 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 you will see them little bundles of fluff scampering about probably 6/7 i caght one and let my mates sister keep it as a pet lives with her ginny pigs bet thats a right laff to watch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy.t 5 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 there easy to catch they just sit there if the ferret scares them out or run about on top if they get into say a small imprint they trun away from the light and sit there you just have to pick them up but usually when one bolts i lift the ferrets from that burrow nahh i ment a wild baby rabbit with ginny pigs, allthough i spose it wouldn't be wild if kept in captivity from a baby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy.t 5 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 no its still younge yet it lives with 2 buck ginny pigs its a doe rabbit but i dont think they can breed i think its younge very extreemly small and fur on scrabbly little bugger lol let it go in my pocket all dark so my ferrets couldent get it and just took her back ahh, might not be a good idea to let them breed tho, might end up with a rabbit ginny pig highbrid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
