Outbreak - Sunrise Ferreting 5
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
A warm winter has allowed a terrible virus to break out, infecting many rabbit populations.
Myxomatosis was discovered in South America during the late 1800's. It was intentionally introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control the problematic rabbit population. Two years later the disease was introduced into France and found its way into Britain a short while after. It's unknown whether it was intentionally introduced into the UK, but once in the country, it was certainly encouraged to spread.
The virus is transmitted through biting insects. Mosquitoes spread the disease over large distances in warmer climates. In the UK rabbit fleas and tics are mainly to blame as they carry the disease on their mouth parts from rabbit to rabbit.
The symptoms include puffiness and swelling around the head, mouth, eyes and genitals. Infected rabbits often seem slow, weak and unaware of their surroundings. As it continues the rabbits develop a fever, struggle to eat and can go blind. The disease takes hold within days and kills most rabbits in under fourteen days as they develop pneumonia.
Humans, dogs and ferrets cannot catch myxomatosis as the disease exclusively infects rabbits. Infected rabbits that are found should be humanly dispatched and preferably buried to prevent present parasites from moving on.

Absolutely brilliant video. Its so good to see the next generation knowing and using the merits of their ferrets, to suit certain warrens. Loved the underground footage!. You have creative talent mate. Well done.
Great camera work ! I think so far your ferreting videos are the best quality I've seen so far.

True
That was super cool to watch! Ive had ferrets for pets and read that they make excellent hunters but this is the first time I ever saw them hunt rabbits. They are so freaking cute! And after watching them hunt, they're obviously even MORE intelligent than I already thought they were! :)
Brilliant ferreting video as always fella look forward 2 sum more soon hopefully before the season ends

Very intresting info about mixy, actually I thought that the dicease was harmful to humans and that was the couse of not ingest the infected individuals. Thanks for sharing both, the video and the info.
Wow that first rabbit you showed at 8:25 was in really awful shape. That virus is a real killer. Good work putting them out of their misery mate; I respect that.

If you want to gain POV of the ferret, there are some pretty small cameras you can find on eBay, you can use that in conjunction with the radio collar most likely so you don’t lose any range of motion and don’t cause any means to get bound in the burrow with he ferret.

Got something rigged up! It kind of works, but it gets dragged along the soil and bashed off rocks. Once I get some worthy footage I’ll show it. It will never be footage as clean as the usual method but I could start a mini separate series if it works out.
Been looking forward to these videos. It's awesome to see this because we don't use ferrets to hunt rabbit! Thanks for all the content. P.S. I'm from North Carolina, USA

+Tyson Pressly I think the cottontail doesn't burrow as much as the European rabbit? I might be wrong. I have used my ferrets to flush rabbits from long grassy areas but due to their slow speed it isn't very effective. That might explain why ferrets are not used. Joseph Carter uses mink to hunt small prey. I'm not exactly sure where in the US he's based. You may find that grows in popularity over time. Here's a link to his channel kzread.info
With a good speaker, this is a national geographic docu :) really nice footage
really enjoyed that good to see the action from the ferrets perspective looking forward to the next one
13:59 nice rainy, windy, cloudy and cold british weather, how I miss those lands and views.
Love your camera work
What a brilliant video, thanks. Was mad keen on ferreting but they have banned it now in NZ
great video

You should say at the end how many rabbits you caught and how many of them were sick
Cute little ferret 😍😍
Was that tunnel system completely dug out by the rabbits ?? YIKES
You know we as people tend to think of how cruel this is, but the truth of the matter is if these rabbits aren't kept in check they could easily over populate the area in a very short time..seeing how prolific they are. Thats alot of rabbits in the small area. Look at the rabbit problem that they have in Australia.

I have seen this before, two ferrets performing its master's will 🤔.... That's right it just hit me, the beast master.
good camera work, how do you get the camera down the hole and get light without scareing them
At 8:26 when bunnar was going into the hole then ferret came out and was like SURPISE MOTHERFUQER

+stinking polecat Thanks, some of the underground footage was a little out of shot but still usable. At the start of the season there was infected rabbits up on a nearby hill, over the course of the season it's spread down to the bottom of the valley, and there are still infected rabbits there now.
Nice

How do you get the camera down there
I snare snow.shoe hares here in Northern Canada and have never seen that disease thankfully. I've snared and ate literally hundreds of hates over the years and never seen a hare with a disease thankfully.
Hi what camera do u use to film in the holes? Thanks

Hola
I wish I could buy a bunnie bu4 actually alive, it kills me to see them die even for ferrets.We have rabbits outside but cant catch them
I really like your video! Its really cool to be able to see the action inside the rabbit burrows. Im curious though, what do you do with the rabbits? Is the meat still edible after been bitten by ferrets?
@ZeusPolecat
7 жыл бұрын
Thanks. Yes the meats still edible after being bitten by the ferrets. The ferrets will be fed first and any extra will be eaten by myself or others. The rabbit bodies infected with myxoma were buried to try and prevent the spread of the disease.
where is the info about the virus?
