that virus is really bad in NM right now. The way I understand it rabbits 5-8 weeks old or something can survive it. But pretty much wipes out the rest of them.

serious breeders have long had a quarantine shed for rabbits going to and coming from shows . they have rabbit shed only boots and take it very seriously. no one goes in their rabbit buildings. it isn't just a virus but there are a lot of things that harm and kill rabbits and always have been.
their reputation as a breeder and lively hood is on the line should some disease get their herd new will be around so fast if someone gets one of the many diseases rabbits can get. CNN got nothing on farm wives for fast delivery of news.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

That rabbit virus is a real thing. Wiping out large numbers in NM. Cottontails and jack rabbits both. This is not good. Those desert rabbits are a subspecies. They dont look exactly like jacks and cottontails in west ks or east Co. They can go a long time without a drink of water. I don't know if rabbits from other places can fill the void.
