Made a vid where I get the bug twice, but not how I'd anticipated. (WARNING: I cuss a couple times.)
I became lazy and started herding rabbits into the traps to save time, however the game consistently wiped the food items in my inventory and I didn't receive meat on pickup. Oh well, at least carrots are easy to replace.
NOTE: If I set traps and don't frighten the rabbits into them, I can safely collect them without incident.
Hope this helps
