Start hopping again

[abjerner]

Hello Friends
Here in Denmark we have not been allowed to come together since September to train our rabbits because of Myxomatosis, so I am so excited to see if my rabbits still will hop. I hope we will be allowed to start one of the next days.
Whole Denmark has stopped all rabbit activities. So many Rabbits have died or have been put down because of Myxomatosis.
I cross my fingers and hope the best. We have our first competition the 17th of February in easy class. I have a Dutch kit, Kikkoman, and I have not trained him much because of the illness, so as soon as we can start, I'll train him for the competition. 1 month will be enough.

Hello
Now we have been allowed to start training for hop and shows again after 4½ month with myxomatosis so violent as we never had it before. Here in little Denmark we use to have 2 or 3 brake out each year. In the last month of 2007 141 rabbitries had a break outs and many rabbits died or were killed.
So happy to have started.
First event is the 17th of February in easy class straight in our own club. I have to be the judge, so somebody other have to start with my 2 rabbits in easy class. Not always the best to let others handle the rabbits, but I have to be the judge.

Hi Aase,

It's great to hear that the myxomatosis is clearing up around there. It's awful that it was so serious, though. Were any of your rabbits infected? We also have that disease over here, but it's more of a low level on-going disease, not something that pops up now and then. I think this is because of the levels of wild rabbits here, and the diseases that they could possibly carry.

Good luck with your competition!
Rachel.
