    lamping

    hiya mate the 1st thing i did was take him out with dummy bunny and got my brother to run it down the beam so that the bird associated the light with food, then when i wanted him to come back, shone the light on my glove and called him back, he took to it really quickly, also ive had a good mentor and lads round me that always offer advice, where are you mate? youre more than welcome to come out with us on the lamp if you want to have a watch?
  5. how old was she mate? i didnt think they lost there feathers untill they were 1 year old?? because when they 1st get there plumage, about 8 weeks is it? they keep that for a year and then moult for the 1st time? not having a dig mate just putting what ive been told, cheers for the reply mate bought her in september 08, moulted for the first time march 09 she was born in 08 yea so shell be the same then mate, she was bought this year so she wont be moulting till next year, got some feathers so she should be ok now

  12. like i said mate i wouldnt swap my male for anything, my mate has had 2 females and they both prefered going after feather, and usually not even registering a bunny. dont know if thats luck of the draw or wether females tend to prefer feather, as ive never had a female i cant realy comment, i hope you do get a bird as it sounds like youve done your homework and spent the money on its up keep so heres hoping everything health wise turns out ok
  13. about aug 10th mate if all goes well. ive said i would like a female and im first on the list but i think i wouldnt mind a big male either so not to bothered his males usually fly about 1.7 but i will have to see what he has once he can sex them. but just got told on friday at the hospital i need a urgent op on my spine and knee which will be in 4 to 6 weeks then 3 days hospital and 6 weeks min complete rest so im just a bit nervous in case it takes longer or op makes it worse which they said is 50/50 it could which will really pis* me off as ive re-done my whole garden to fit the mews, broug

    lamping

    hiya mate yea i lamp mine, he does ok, but hes still only young, he caught on the very 1st time we took the lamp out, and the second whent racing off after a duck that was sat below a tree on one of our permissions, i have found though that he prefers to fly through the beam toward the rabbit rather than straight down the beam from the glove, its a completely different ball game to going out early morning, i didnt think id enjoy it when i 1st got asked to try it but now id recomend it to any one who wants to try something new
