Hector Vector Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Been out this evening Rabbit shooting and one of the bag had quite advanced Myxomatosis. This seems to be about very early this year; has anyone else encountered it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Not seen any yet. Given the numbers the wet then hot weather it can't be far off mind. Not seen so many bunnys for a few years. Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Saw a 3/4 grown rabbit with a bad dose of it today. First one I've seen for a while but it is usually around. Doesn't seem to make a massive dent in the rabbits anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonblasterian Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 It wiped a lot of rabbits out on one of my perms last year. Not seen any sign of it up to now this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 According to XC Weather this heat is set to last well into next week so I'd imagine that it won't be too long before we start to see it appearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
