Didn't think they survived in captivity, but when I looked it up I found this site:

For several reasons it can't stay where it is and we can't have then on the nursery.

 

Would a leveret do much damage? I ask because we had one that kept spending the night on our veg beds for a month or so but I've not found any damage. There's quite a few adults about as well.

The Leveret isn't the problem. It's the others that frequent the nursery that are the problem.

Even though it is fenced off ,they still get in ,horsey people leave the gates open or trample the wire , so in time , I may have to shoot them , including Mum.

Boss has a terrier which accompanies him and would find the leveret and terrier it.

It can't stay there and if I move it ,the fox that lives in the wheat will have it and if not that ,the pair of carrion crows that are bringing their fledgling up right next door would love to butcher it.

Etcetera etcetera ...

Not particularly fond of horsey folk myself either, but shooting them for leaving gates open seems a little extreme.

It alleviates the problem.

We have some very decent horse people , but it only takes one awkward old woman .

Thread about mushy could quite easily turn in to a rant about " country lovers" having worked on a nursery myself and as a fencing contractor you ge to see the blind ignorant arrogance of the type. Always in the countryside pursuing their pleasures trashing it. Doggy poo bags suspended like Christmas tree decorations. Ground and plants trashed by dogs and horses and offroad vehicles. For sport or solo pleasure. Gun cartridges. Litter. Trees debarked. I can see removing humans would greatly aleviate the problems.

Hares do damage trees foxes make a mess of poultry. But nothing leaves a destructive mess like selfish human being that only care about themselves.

 

Mr mushypants would be my mate even if did damage a tree of mine.

Exactly Goaty. I think we are overdue a global human cull...
