I am hoping for a bit of advice. The sanctuary we volunteer at has 30 rabbits kept in reasonably good conditions. They have have myxomatosis in the wild rabbit population close to the sanctuary -they have recently found 2 sadly. Their rabbits are not vaccinated due to the cost although the manager is looking into finding a way to do it.
1. Does anyone know if there is a cheapish way for sanctuaries and rescues to have their rabbits vaccinated?
2. How much danger are these rabbits in? The wild rabbits do not live very close to the sanctuary rabbits, about half a mile. They would have no way of being in physical contact although I realise myxi is passed by biting insects. Has anyone any experience of a similar situation? Will they inevitably get it sooner or later if they are not vaccinated?
I am hoping someone can give me an answer I can show the sanctuary! I very much realise that this is not a good situation for these rabbits to be in.
