jayjay 264 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 had a few gingery fawn looking ones over the years, also had a bluey looking one once, there were 1 or 2 fawn looking ones knocking around up one of my farms last summer but they seemed to disappear for what ever reason......there was a place just down the road from me that many, many years ago held a lot of dutch looking ones as poxon has mentioned, they ranged from black and white, brown and white and the typical wild rabbit colour and white, they must of been the results of one or two that had escaped or been released, but over the years they have faded out and don't tend to see them now as the the rabbit numbers in the area have declined...…. all the best jay Quote Link to post
TOMO 24,876 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 had a good few fawn ones over the years ...and most other colours too.....I have a pic somewhere of me and a mate ferreting and we get 2 fawn ones from one burrow Quote Link to post
DundeeLurcher 51 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 there was a housing estate down by me that was overrun with rabbits. Every colour u could imagine this was about 15 years ago. the council done a cull now you only see the odd wild one around now. they must of been breeding with escaped pets also they lost there fear of humans.

king 11,664 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 An eccentric guy in the next village down used to release rabbits he bred to breed with the wild rabbits the lads said there's all different colours there. He told few lads that the river authority use to use scuba gear in his pond at night to steal his carp.. A bit of a weird guy.. 2 Quote Link to post

Used to have a strange guy we’re I used to live buy loads of frozen chicken to feed the foxes he’d pretty much bait the hedge lines up on the corner of a little spiny.....soon as dusk came foxes would be crossing all over the fields they were big old fields to get to this spiny it was always active round that spiny we court on to what was going on by fluke but was handy to know the reason why they were so interested to get to the spiny.the land management definitely twigged on because we kept finding shot foxes left at the feeding spots Quote Link to post

We've had loads of rain now last week or so and starting to get cooler at night so hopefully be getting out some more now. Glad to hear she's doing well for you mate after last season injurys hope you have a belter of a season 2 Quote Link to post
