harry waudby. 10 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Yesterday i was out at a permission (vicorage) where the garden and orchard is filled with rabbits due to the owner not being able to sort to them because of his age. i started early and bagged two straight away, but during the day i only shot and saw rabbits with mixie. Also i've noticed before that some rabbits have had there ears clipped (picture below) and i was just wondering if any one else had come across it before? Edited October 6, 2008 by harry waudby.

cometa300s 20 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 i havent mate bad stuff that. im guna take a look at the rabbits were shoot, see if they are the same. and if soo they are getting whiped out every one of them. Quote Link to post
hiho 5 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 is there any fences with barbed wire at the bottom as well as the top that could explain the ears. Quote Link to post
harry waudby. 10 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 no, no barbed wire fences for at least half a mile let alone on bottom aswell. the only explanation the local farmer could come up with is either fox :wacko: or maybe some one had been keeping track of them by clipping there ears, because all the ones with chopped ears had terrible mixie.

Guest hpool_hunter Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 mixi - what a c**t ... good shooting anyway mate Quote Link to post
outdoors kid 1 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 this could be diffrent but my girlfriend owns 2 pet rabbits after having them about 3 weeks she went out to clean them one mourning and found that one of them had both ears clipped and the ends were in the hutch, we can only assume they were fighting in the night and one had given the other a bit of a beating, maybe this is whats happening at your permission regards Quote Link to post
harry waudby. 10 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 thanks for all the replies, seems like the only explanation is because of fighting. still seems abit odd. cheers, HW Quote Link to post
