There's a big push again in Australia to persuade the government to allow myxomatosis vaccinations for pet rabbits.

Details can be found here http://www.scribd.com/doc/49688189/The-Bunologist-Feb-March-11

There are particularly acute problems at present. Following all the flooding, mosquitoes are abundant and myxomatosis has reached epidemic levels, with many pet rabbits falling prey to this most distressing disease. To read a statement such as this is heartbreaking 'South Grafton’s Rabbit Sanctuary lost 80 inhabitants in just one afternoon last month as an outbreak of the myxomatosis virus continues to take its toll across the Northern Rivers area'

Those who don't live in Australia can help by signing the petition that can be found here http://www.gopetition.com/petition/41908.html

Signed Smile I've also send in a toy bunny to the Minister as part of the Radical Rabbit Campaign.

I can't wait until this summer is over. I have been so paranoid about letting them outside. Bruce has been very indignant about not being let out, I wish I could explain mozzies are out there so he'd stop huffing and stamping his foot.
