ruined runs

[ellir0305 9]

i was wondering if anyone has any advice for me;

 

most of the fields on my permission have recently had cows on them becoase of the wet the farmer was rotating the fields however this means that all of the rabbit runs are churned up along with the rest of the ground and i can;t see them, the bunnies are there but i don't know where they are running.

 

does anyone have any ideas or is it just a case of waiting a month or two for the ground to recover because i would like a rabbit pie for new year

 

Thanks

Can you still see where they pass through the fences to get onto the fields?? If so there's your answer!

think the fields needs rolled, think you will just have to wait a few weeks i would think

there are some frosts on the ay , you should be able to see the runs again once he frost has gone

will the frost "burn" the runs into the grass? but dont the bunies stay close to the burrows when its frrosty?

 

and unfortunately a lot of the burrows are in the field so there are no fence crossingzs only tram,pled burrows.

 

How would you go about using a body grip close to a burrow????

 

Sorry for all the questions i'm still learning

yip , the frost will kind of burn the grass , you will see

bodygrips are best used in cover or under fences , you can put them on a run but they require a tunnel of wire or wood and its not the best way ,try setting them in the burrow mouth , again , not the best method but they do catch

i only have the oe bg 116 so i will give him a go with a wire tunnel leading up where would be the best place to purschase a small number 2 or 3 fenns or springers 4s and 6s springer 4s are brilliant in my eyes i have never had a problem cant comment on the 6s though

 

thanks
