That rabbits alive! Did you let it go to spread its seed?

 

Sadly no There is a few like that running around this one spot though.

Always a fair sign of a high population of bunnies. If the mutations are able to survive until adulthood and pass thr genes on.

Only last season out on the lamp, in the same field sat right next to each other near the hedge row seen an all black and and an all white rabbit sat together, caught a couple of those with the white patches between there eyes aswell but saying that there is a few f****d up rabbits round here, caught a few with teeth about 4 inches long curling right out there mouths aswell.!

This season, I've had the one above that JB posted when ferreting and I've caught a really light sandy, almost golden one on the lamp. I've also had a few with different white marks on them, and lamped a black one the other night, but was too far off to run. In previous seasons I've had a variety of others, including mixed colors, blues, etc etc etc.

 

Most of these have feck all to do with folk releasing pets etc.

 

The Agouti color is actually made up of a huge range of colours if you look at it, and any of these can be expressed more prevalently as a form of mutation. This is after all where our tame, coloured rabbits come from, folk selectively breeding for these traits until they true breed.

 

As said, it's the sign of a decent population usually.

I took my beddy whippet out with the torch last night and see the white one again. So slipped her off and she stopped half way to take a dump!!! By this point ole whitey was gone!

If any of my dog stopped half way across the field after a rabbit theyd be going to doggy heaven

We try to take the fancy colours out first as thats what the land owners see first , But there never pure white or black up close they have flecks of grey or ginger threw them anybody noticed that ?.

Bustamunky good to see you getting out. Nice to see you enjoyed our little ferreting trip. I've had quite a few odd coloured ones. Blacks and sandy but never white. Probably this years rabbit as white colours of any prey animal don't tend to be around for so long because they're so visible.

[Bustamunky 7]

Mole man yea been out a few times now,

Little ferret ive got is bit smaller than you old male

Great little worker when she wants to be,

A lad who lamps bunnies got the white one was more grey than white but bigger than your average wild bunny

[Mole man Kent 26]

Must be a domestic bunny that's comfortable in the wild. When you next out. What locator did you manage to get mate?

[Bustamunky 7]
