Steve be prepared for every short cut you sat nav uses to get to the towes to have signs telling you to turn round or turn the sat nav off!

Hares can get myxie, but it is very rare. This one certainly didn't show any signs of it at all....just after that photo, he leapt up and darted off up the hillside. I think he was so frightened when he saw us that he lay as still as he could, for as long as he could and when we got too close, he took off...looked quite young. This one is a Brown Hare, common to the lowland farmland in southern Scotland.

 

Have a great time at AT Steve!

I have never seen any with it and the rabbits round here are often whipped out by it.

 

I googled it and most sources say NO

 

I did find a link that said a captive one was thought to have had it, but given how devastating the disease is, I would have thought that if it did affect hare if would have had some impact.
