  1. them ex german army ones with the full length zips down each leg with the furr lining are hard to beat for £20 a pair. most ex army market stalls sell them.

  4. i was told its passed from a fly , so its in the air. Never heard of humans passing it either from clothes or boots.?? Can be passed by the fleas, and they can transfer from the rabbits to dogs / ferrets etc and moved from permission to permission etc. is also spreed by birds and live stock as well as fox`s,badgers,hedgehogs infact anything a tick or flea can hitch a ride on whilst feeding. Yup. But we don't have much control of the rest . . . . . . I just think sometimes if you have been in one area and killing mixi bunnies and you have land in a totally different are

  16. Yes but it is getting hit every year because your leaving them on the land.Get rid off them and you get rid off mixy.Yes they can breed again but if it on the land they will get it in the end if a rabbit survives it does become imune but that immunity is not passed on to any offspring. killing and removing infected rabbits will not work as the virus is spread by the fleas and tics that feed on the rabbits, buzzards and foxes will clear most infected areas rapidly, only nature has the ability to sort infected areas until such time as they either develope full immunity or man creates a cure, n
  17. just leave the holes that are in the open if you know what i mean, personally i tried nets a while ago and found them to be pants better off without them. if youve smoked it well and theyve had a good lung full they will be alot slower than normal. if possible block off areas with old boards or plastic/tin sheeting so they carnt get far. and most of all have fun
  18. seal as many holes as possible just leave enough for 1 terrier to cover if it does bolt its highly likely to be disorientated by the smoke if it doesnt bolt it will die underground. i use a petrol hedge trimmer engine mounted on a block of wood, just add extra oil and fannys your craddock
