Last October I released 4 Doe and 1 Buck Rabbits on some land close by me , in Novembet I added 3 more [2Does and a Buck] this morning I was up there for the first time since and the Dog put three Rabbits out of the Bracken which ran into an old reopened sett , I will add to these over the next year and they just may take off, the land is ideal South facing side of a massive Hill covered in Gorse and they should thrive . We shall see..

Rabbits were completely out of hand Farmers could not make a living so something had to be done and Mixi done it , it wasn't nice but it had to be done .

There are many strains of the Virus but the one that landed in Kent during the early 50s was the worst , most places had 100% mortality though one area in Nottinghamshire was untouched no matter how many times they tried to introduce it , Rabbits have built up immunity to weaker strains of the Virus but when the original strain pops up it is Curtains for that pocket of Rabbits , I have been told Soil Type plays a part in a Rabbits survival because a Rabbit living in Cold Wet Clay has a higher chance of secondary illness [Pnumonia ] which is the main cause of Death than living in the drier San

Rabbits have always had diseases that will wipe out a colony mainly caused by inbreeding and one of these is Syphilis which can often be mistaken for Mixi if the Sores are on the Face , years ago on places where rabbits were managed the population was reduced as much as possible and new Blood added, where I lived there was Four large Rabbit pens and these were opened April time so the new Blood could filter out .

When I was a kid me Mam and my Sister helped out at the hall when they had a Do on Pheasant Partridge or Hare was always on the Menu , the Birds would have been Plucked very soon after being shot or if it was a Bigshot Do they would have been Penned birds ,the Birds would have been hung in the Cellar which was very cold and dry and stunk of Cheese till they were blue then Cook would prepare them the texture was more like Paste than Meat and was lovely all the Offal Necks and Bones were boiled up in a Cauldron for what seemed Days then Stained and covered in Hot Butter till the Field trials s
