Beretta28g Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 They are a very able animal, jumping is common, especially during the mating routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 39TDS-I.m no expert but i think that you could reduce the rabbit damage if you take their tractor away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
