you can eat myxi rabbits but id rather not, myxamitosis means the whole body seems to rot away, there is very little muscle on myxi's and pussy features really dont do it for me on my food. must say i havent seen a myxi rabbit for nearly a year now, it seems to come in waves round here and a lot more rabbtis are surviving it nowadays. in one way myxi's are good as a quick enter for a dog to build their confidence but theres no actual sport in myxi's i've caught them many times by myself.

Now's the time myxi rears it's ugly head a few warm days and it will be rife

myxamitosis is a disease, was natural to our rabbits american counterparts the cottontails which only gave them a minor illness, someone brought it over here and released it to our rabbits on purpose and the results of it are devastating, its passed in a variety of ways and in the 50's destroyed the idea of eating rabbit which had for a long time been the staple meat of the uk (which is now chicken i believe) it kills the animal slowly, robbing it of its senses and causes pain and suffering, the rabbits eyes go all gooey, the anus and genitals can become swollen, the rabbits muscle rots away, you end up with a feeble bag of bones which cant run from any predator. luckily though nature gives animals the power to adapt and many more are surviving nowadays and breeding passing on a resistance to it.
