How to kill a rabbit
I used to do the freezer thing with pet mice (when life was no longer comfortable). My parents refused to pay for the vet to do it on something so small and so would either freeze them or put in a plastic bag and fill with exhaust fumes. The freezer option was better in my opinion as we would put a bit of bedding in a box and put said animal in they would be comfy and relaxed and curl up when they got cold. I was very quick because mice are so small.
Hi Folks I haven't been here for a while but it is good to see the regulars still going strong.Boots wrote:It's a blood born virus as far as I know Ina. So it would be spread by cats or dogs if they ate them, or contracted their fleas, I think.
I imagine mossies would do it here too, but you don't have mossies there do you? Anything that transfers blood..
To the thread.
I beleive that myxie is spread between rabbits by the rabbit flea. It is usually spread in close contact under ground. Rabbits that live in undergrowth and not underground rarely suffer from this disease.
