Soon there'll be 'nuff lead in them berms to start mining! ;)

Good to hear the TDR is doing the job. My rabbit "problem" has almost gone away.... some disease (not Mixy) has decimated the population. Of course, the few that are left are still digging holes in all the wrong places. :x
But I'm seeing very few... not enough to warrant taking the gun. But if someone were to offer me a nice little TDR I could keep it handy (hint, hint)! :mrgreen:

We had it here a few years ago :cry: There is now large areas rabbit free :cry: Thinking about it,it must be close too five years ago now.
I recently checked out a few farms that lost all its rabbit population and there is still no signs of them I bet a lot of wild life has suffered because of the loss of rabbits ,stoats,weasles,fox etc

Not thinking of getting rid of the TDR, but certainly thinking of maybe losing some of the others, it's fast becoming the only one I take out, I think it appeals to the 007 in me 8-)

sounds like you are getting good lot of rabbits ,
at this time of year they are plenty of them around .
the ferret owners are always after rabbit if they got
kitts .

as for the lead as a plumber at one time most house
had lead pipes so don't think lead in the rabbits be a
problem its more fun putting it there with the tdr .
