Moko asked:

Hi all,

I feel a little stupid asking this, but does anyone know of a way to make rabbits bolt from their borrows without using ferrets. I think I read somewhere here that smoke doesn’t work............are ferrets really the only practical way?

Cheers Moko

note the reference to 'Practical way'?

I don’t think Moko was looking for an answer that involved the use of explosives, setting fire things with lighter fluid, the use of artillery pieces or the assistance of the local fire brigade.

please only post if you actually have a sensible method for bolting rabbits from their burrows

Hi

I'm afraid to say that i have never found a better way than ferrets.

My Uncle recently moved to the area and has kept them for years, they were most effective on the warrens on the farm where i live as they had never been ferreted before.

I'm really good at getting the rabbits to run back down the warrens! :D

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? :)
