I wouldn't eat a rabbit full stop. The last time I did my mother had mistakenly left the putuitry gland it and I got it and was sick for a week.

Myxomatosis only affects rabbits but there is a real risk of botulism if it is not fresh.

I wouldn't eat a rabbit at any rate, even a healthy one that was freshly killed. To me there is something macabre about eating a rabbit, a bit like eating a cat or dog.

As you are breastfeeding you've already fully realised that you shouldn't eat anything that could be in the least dicey.
