From the sound of it there are enough rabbits for a myriad of uses. Just remember "if you eat nothing but rabbit you will die"

That fountain od odd facts QI featured it one night. Trappers in canada for the hudson bay co were becoming ill despite having plenty to eat.
Seems rabbit lacks some vitamins we need so when your diet is just rabbit and nothing else your body uses up its vitamin stores and you get sicker and sicker. Adding veggies or red meat fixes the deficency. Its just something that has stuck in my mine ever since I saw it.
Dont think the Pud is in danger though.

Yes you are right, the vet told us something similar so we supplement the rabbit with a good quality dry food so all his vitamins and minerals are met.
