I've had similar thoughts about relocation but totally failed to act. Has the relocation worked ?

It's a concern in East Anglia and if anyone comes across a hare with myxi or rvhd symptoms there is a study " This project is being run by Dr Diana Bell, a senior lecturer at the University of East Anglia School of Biological Science, Norwich. She is requesting members of the public who find or photograph hares to email her at d.bell@uea.ac.uk ".

Another thanks, I've been putting off repairs recently and this is encouraging me to face up to the job . Don't forget to add top line and purse line videos
-
Same for my area of East Anglia, creates some issues for me as the farmers and friends are very alert to hare coursing and I can't afford to be judged deliberately out on hares. When ferreting on land with hares I walk between warrens with the dogs on leads
-
For the hob I had done last year the vet was very careful in telling me everything that could go wrong . Fair enough. Equally I am on my fourth vasectomised hob and for each of them the op was successful with no side effects and another 5 years of service at least in each case
-
That is amazing if still valid. I know they had several done and of course there is the issue that these hobs are entire and will need a separate cage for about half the year so they may be hogging cages
-
That's a good idea, it's how I found the vet we used. It's a much better and usually cheaper experience if the vet is familiar with ferrets
-
Btw these are independent vet practices, very different pricing on anything non standard compared to the big corporations
-
I've had two vasectomized by the vet practice I've used for our ferrets in 15 years since we moved to Cambridgeshire. If I remember correctly about 120 pounds in 2011 and definitely 200 in may 23 Anyone in easy distance of Essex ferret welfare can take jills there for a reasonable fee. The vet they use is doing several ferret vasectomies a year and i understand is still only charging about 100 pounds so next time I'll go there.

Consistently low numbers of rabbits this year

Most days I wish my collie x was as driven with rabbits as he is with cats and muntjac. He has an 11 out of 10 setting when a cat appears -
Bloody hell that worked with 2 of them. , batteries out as well

Fair points. Badgers in east Anglia have become incredibly common, even 40 years ago they just weren't in evidence and today they are everywhere. I hadn't thought about foot traffic, that has gone up a lot and also plenty of new build houses in our area with lots of cats, I lost a ferret this year and looking for it around our village at dawn and dusk I was amazed by the numbers of cats. Deer certainly cope better, muntjac are a massive pain for me as my dogs are mad for them -

It's difficult to be certain with RHD because the numbers just collapse and you don't see carcasses but I feel it's the main problem. I have in the past ferreted and shot on one farm and numbers always bounced back
