1. The Forum Rules have undergone some minor changes and updates.  Please take the time to read them; it will only take a couple of minutes of your time. By doing so, you lessen the chance of incurring the wrath of the moderation team or making yourself look foolish to other members.

    90% of users posting adverts in the Sales forums need to be reminded to read the rules as their posts are wrong.  This is unnecessarily time-consuming and will no longer happen - if your advert doesn't follow the Sales Rules it will be deleted and you'll have to start all over again.

    To close this box once you've read it (and the Rules), click on the X in the top right-hand corner.

    Thank you.

Even if this is just your own personal opinion, RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS.'

  3. Dear members,

    Our membership (like our country) consists of people from all walks of life; different in far more ways than can be listed here and each with a different view based on their experience of life - regardless of their colour, religion or cultural heritage. Every single person in the UK has been born of mixed race – we are a multi-coloured and multi-cultural country.

    As many of you are aware there are a handful of individuals amongst this membership that persist in making provocative, inflammatory, racist and otherwise offensive comments. This has been happening across the forum to a certain degree but is most especially prevalent in the Adult section.

    The moderation team has tried to stay on top of this, however unfortunately because of the ‘offensive’ nature of much of its content we don’t monitor the Adult section quite as much as perhaps we should. As a result much of this behaviour has gone unnoticed unless it has been reported to us. While the team always intended to take a "light touch" approach to the Adult section it would seem that some people aren’t quite adult enough to be left unmonitored after all.

    This behaviour is, and always has been against Forum Rules as well as the specific stipulations of the Adults forum and it will no longer be tolerated. We feel it's time to draw a line in the sand and as such from this point onward offenders will receive an immediate and permanent ban from the forum.

    In order for us to achieve our goal of restoring the forum to the friendly and tolerant place it once was, we ask that ALL members be mindful of the content they post and help us to stop unacceptable behaviour by using the 'Report' tool at the bottom of any offending post - the results of which can be seen only by Admin/Moderators.

    You should all receive a copy of this message by PM.

    Just had a phone call from my vet... She suggested they were possibly abscesses. She herself wouldn't eat them. But if pushed she would of course cooked properly.

    Abscesses like this can be caused by worms amongst other things.

    I suppose it all depends how hungry you are... ;)

    You've missed hepatic coccidiosis - I've been getting quite a bit of that on one of my perms.

    Just to add to the thread; there is a massive amount of rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (variant 2) in my area. It kills so fast and cleanly that it should have been used instead of Myxomatosis, which is staggeringly cruel.

    Note to those who view bunnies as pets rather than as food; a vaccine is available from your local vet. It has cleared out a friend's rabbit hutches within three days, she lost twenty bunnies and the remaining five have now been vaccinated.

    I was thinking that I could have eaten very well on that, but fortunately she is not telepathic. There is a little row of gravestones (painted rocks) in the garden now. I'm not sure whether to to sympathize or be cold-hearted about it.

    This was a brilliant thread and a subject that gets brushed over lightly quite often. I have dispatched quite a few bunnies with mixy in the Salisbury plain area when I used to shoot for John Salvage (a farmer in Tidworth)RIP it was so sad to see them suffering like that. I had never come across any of the others but will be more aware from now on thanks guys great thread

    Old thread I know, but an interesting article on declining rabbit population from page 29 onwards…..
    https://www.bto.org/sites/default/files/publications/bbs-report-2019.pdf

    Essentially rabbit numbers have dropped by as much as 83% in some areas of England due to the Haemorrhagific Fever over the last 13 years.

    Anyone noticed steep declines in numbers?
