brooktrout Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 This is the last survivor of five born this year at the place where I work. I will keep an eye on him to hopefully photograph his progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 He's still a babbit bet a fox/cat/bird of prey gets him before he's a year old. I was shooting some rabbits in a field at day time when all of a sudden I aim on a particularily large one and notice it has lop ears, went a bit closer and saw it had a blue tag round its neck, god knows how it got where it did, anyway picked the little fella up and found his owners searching frantically for him (walking down the road). Am annoyed I found his owners a rabbit that big would have had some fine eating (j/k) Keep us posted on the little mans progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Meant to add... apparently its bad luck to shoot a black rabbit. Plenty of them around where I used to live no one would shoot them, farmer used to say well they eat the same amount of food as a regular ******* rabbit!! Must be an intelligent rabbit if it can read then RS You're right about it being an albino though, probably some relation of a domestic rabbit which escaped/was released IMO.

Columbus Polumbus Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Black rabbits are nothing more than genetic throws every now and then. The black rabbit is also part of the urban legend / myth in that, the reason nobody shoots them is because in times gone past, the keeper would leave them alone so that if a poacher was working his land he would take any colour for food and so the keeper would know if the black ones went missing it was a good indicator that a poacher was working the land and he would be extra vigilant. That is why it is supposed to be bad luck to whack em. Nothing more nothing less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy the bull Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 i see tons of them on the side of the m6 motorway by haydock race course in lancashire.......seems nobody wants to shoot them.....saying that nobody wants to shoot the brown ones either..........probably to close to the motorway for comfort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
