How can RHDV2 reach a rabbit that never goes outside?
On people's shoes, clothes and hands.
- On people's shoes, clothes and hands ✔
- The family dog catches it and passes it on
- It can't, indoor rabbits are always safe
Why: RHDV2 spreads easily on objects like food, bedding and equipment, and on people's clothing, shoes and hands. It infects only rabbits and hares, not people or other pets. Wash hands and leave outdoor shoes at the door.
Huh, didn't know that: USDA says there is no cure for rabbit hemorrhagic disease, which is why prevention matters.
What do rabbits say before a meal? Lettuce eat.
