Much to Mr McGregor's chagrin, there seems to be a deluge of wild rabbits ruining farmer's crops ...
Wild rabbits are believed to be thriving thanks to an abundance of food, a decline in predators and a trend towards warmer winters.

But I read on Frances Harcourt Brown's page recently that she's witnessed quite a few rabbits (with her own eyes!) that contracted myxomatosis and that are recovering from it.
What are we to make of all this? Are there just more wild rabbits around, or they really becoming disease resistant?
