nhamm2 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Okay guys; please don deerstalkers and grab a magnifying glass; your suggestions please on what has eaten just the back of the head of this rabbit and left the rest. Perhaps a weasel or stoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benellimelody Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 One of the weasel family - Most likely a stoat - they kill from the neck and eat that first but often come back and eat along the back of the rabbit (Depends on abundance of prey) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez325 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I woud say a weazle or stoat although they usual drag killed prey into there den to consume- so my jury still out aon this one Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferretboy111 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Id say it just died and got eaten by crows and rooks by the look as it has no eyes left. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhamm2 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks to all your responses, looks like stoat/weasel is the prime suspect. Although I could see why a high powered bullet rifle could also be brought in for questioning. Perhaps the butler did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
