Myxomatosis in young wild rabbits

We saw a litter of 5 very cute wild rabbits being decimated by myxomatosis. Within one month of them being old enough to leave the nest, their eyes started to swell and the rabbits eventually lost their sight. All we could do was watch... We found a couple of dead bodies in the garden the other three just disappeared. None of the five reached adulthood. The video clip below shows how the illness progressed. Don't look if you think you might not like it.

Blind wild rabbit - Myxomatosis

The young rabbits that we have been watching from our dining room window for about one month are now showing signs of myxomatosis.
Guessing that they started to venture outside their den when they were about two weeks old, they should be only about 6 weeks old.
Their eyesight deteriorated very quickly (within one week).
Their eyes are red, swollen and even runny. In the clip below, you can see that one of the siblings with a healthy eye.
You would not believe these are the same cute rabbits that I posted picture of recently.


Below are pictures of an older rabbit I took a few weeks ago with the same condition.
