    So drove down to my ferreting partners house today to see how his house to see how his stock were getting on he now has 3 kits 2 nice poley hobs and a little silver jill ..so we were talking and we said we would go for a drive to our permissions and brought the deerhound cross and his collie grey pup did all our local ones and the rabbit population seem very good and some new burrows ...then we went to some of our far away permissions and we were on our biggest one 400 acres of rabbit heaven its intensively farmed dairy farm with the best of grass and the rabbit population has exploded the

  10. Andrew Beirne
    last season we worked mostly hobs apart from my jill and ferreting partners 4 jills and no hobs on pest control jobs ...for the Sunday outing we where taking out 5 hobs and 2 jills...jills are fantastic they seem a bit faster and if ya get a good one they are priceless and will guaranteed to put plenty bunnys in the nets the hods are a little slower will kill most of the time but saying that we had a smallish albino hob who did bolt alot of the time and we also had a jill who had got the knack of killing em straight away

    I think I will put them back together they are handling well and the exercise would be good for them
  16. Andrew Beirne
    when im in school what I usually do is check them in the morning and give them fresh water and remove any few remains of the food from the night before and take a rabbit out of the freezer then when I get home I clean them out give them all there feed and handle them for a while
  17. Andrew Beirne
