We gave up when Myxie came (1st time around). We do now use rabbit for the
dogs when we can get it, but it is surprising how difficult that is

Mixie is a terrible disease. We still see outbreaks in various places, but
some of the rabbits do recover now. Still, if D finds one badly affected he
will put it down. The disease doesn't transfer to humans and in theory you
can eat a rabbit that has it but most people would have to be pretty
desperate to do that if they saw the rabbit before it was skinned and
cleaned. When I get them it is as meat in a bag; D does all the prep out in
the field and leaves the skin and guts for the foxes and crows, but he won't
bring me one that has any sort of infection.
