ADG, you are a bit of a distance and I'm off to France at the moment, so won't be able to make it in a hurry - but I'm up for it one weekend.

you are very welcome

I must say your photos are amazing...

do you eat the rabbit? Do you use the pelts? or do you give them away?

I remember Stoney (a crofting member who's posts are few and far between these days) said it was too much effort to clean up the pelts but it is a lovley fur, my sister used to have one

Just think how cosy your wellies would be, lined with rabbit fur.

you can freeze the pelts and process them later can't you? I thought i read somewhere....

some one else takes most of the pics I always seem to get loads of shots of patches of grass.
Yes we eat some, plus in my local a few of the boys inc the landlord swap a pint for a rabbit or I sell some to the Poles for 3 quid a piece.I have a skin curing recipe somewhere will try to find it
if anyone is interested in a pot filler I have a litter due soon of whippets

Hi,

Interesting pictures. I used to have ferrets as pets. No need to go rabbiting, living in the suburbs.

you would be surprised the places ferrets colonise Jandra

[Jandra]

Wouldn't it rather be the rabbits that colonize the odd places? I've never known ferrets to do much colonizing...

I'd definitely be interested in learning from you, we're just outside Peterborough in Ramsey and have a field that's heaving with rabbits :)
