Rabbit Caught This Morning


Recommended Posts

Hi lads

 

Caught this rabbit while ferreting on one of my contracts this morning, I noticed that a lot of its fur is missing one side of its face, it had a fair few fleas on it, would this be the cause? to much scratching or maybe was born like this?

Buck rabbit by any chance Froudy? They do fight amongst themselves a bit sometimes....

 

Yes, it could well be old Mixy scabs that have been scratched off. If rabbits didn't get over mixy, then we wouldn't have any by now. This is why I don't kill mixy rabbits unless I have to. If they recover (which they often do, depending on the strain) then they pass on immunity to their young.

i always thought immunity was exclusive to the host that survived and not capable of being passed onto to offspring :hmm:
