la-vie-en-rose Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I threw a ripe quince into a thicket for our guest cocker spaniel to retrieve, went on hanging out the washing, looked down and he'd swapped it for a leveret.Tragically he'd broken its neck and it died in my arms shortly after.I don't throw anything too far any more - but, isn't it an odd time for leverets to be around?We live about 30 miles south-west of Toulouse, and usually see them in May. Can some-one tell me if it's usual, or another weird example of the results of changing weather patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Here in England I have know local rabbits to have 2 lots of litters in one year, maybe its a sign of mild weather ahead[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 In UK, I suffered 4 females on my lawn who bred 3 litters however, this year I have seen none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris pp Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 They can produce young up to four times a year and at almost any time, so not so strange.[:D]Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
