derek2012 32 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Still getting rabbits full of young as well mate Quote Link to post
breeze 1,226 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 They are just about breeding all year round lately mate, so not that big a surprise to me. Don't know about where you lad's are from, but we have hardly had any decent frosty morning's yet around these parts . . . So mild temperatures = breeding Quote Link to post

hawkingyorkshire 6 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 same here mate, we need some good cold morning frosts, that will do it in many different ways, cover, mitzi and breeding! Quote Link to post
hawkingyorkshire 6 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Don't like killing rabbits with young in though! not my thing! 3 Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 A good prolonged cold spell and they abort there young and reingest the goodness from the fetus , but if this Cary's on there will be fluff balls by January . I was out yesterday and the nettles were sprouting new growth : / 1 Quote Link to post

hawkingyorkshire 6 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 i think its because the banking we did hasn't been ferreted/ disturbed in ages, just like some places up north thats why there's so many, they just breed all year round without anyone knowing Quote Link to post
