Hi folks! I just found this thread. It's a Rabbit Year in this part of the world. I can look out of my window at any time of day and see a baby bunny or two (thank goodness I have plenty of dandelions for them to eat) and they are so darn cute! Usually, the foxes and coyotes keep the rabbit numbers down, but I have not seen a fox or heard the coyotes howling for over a month now. Rabies is not common this area. However, canine distemper and mange are rampant. The distemper is killing not only the foxes and coyotes, but also raccoons and skunks. If only there was a way to innoculate the wildlife!
