Groat 2 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Being a full time Rabbit Trapper for many years l have had quite a few of them over the years, usualy in my rabbit traps (Drop Boxes) What seems to happen is when there are a few in one box there seems to be a dominant Buck rabbit that for some reason starts to pick on the odd one or 2 and as a result chews the ears off them! This is sometimes also acompanied by a lot of scratching and biting around the hind quarters? Quote Link to post
