How to Hold a Hare

At the seminar there was a demonstration by John Curtin on how to hold a hare.  They are very delicate creatures and care must be used in picking them up.   Grasp the ears firmly and gently scoup them from underneath.    Do not grab across the ribcage or by the scruff of skin on there backs. Cradle them firmly against your side with you hand around the front leg.....as in this picture.

When taking a hare from a net always wait for another person to assist.........Never pull the netting from them but get your asistant to gently ease it of.....bit by bit............
