MATTI 34 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Rabbits eat their own pellets a few times over to get all the protein they can, so maybe the 2nd rabbit was just eating undigested grass from the gutted one. Or maybe it was a fox in a rabbit skin jacket right under your nose, Good hunting. MATTI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
