ollie Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I would say fox mate. I have saw them taking the head or the tail of lambs and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duncan Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Almost certainly a honey badger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Almost certainly a honey badger. On a more serious note, I would say fox or rats. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6br Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 A fox always takes the head off same with chickens and lambs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Years ago I met a family friend who used to keep chickens, goats, lambs etc etc. one day we went out to dehorn someones kid (baby goat not child ) Anyways, when we got to the house, on the front door mat was the back half of a rabbit, it was complete from halfway down the saddle and had both back legs complete with ****/tail. When the guy answered the door we commented on the half rabbit on the mat to be told "Ohh yeah thats the cat, he always eats the front half only, always has done.

woodentermite Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 that does sound like a cat actually or a fox they will go for anything thats hanging off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodentermite Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 cats always eat half a rabbit usually from the head down and it will be clean. i've also learned recently that hedgehogs will eat poults and you can tell this because they always eat from the rear end.
