Question
This morning one of our rabbits was dead in their hutch. I am pretty sure it was wet tail. I have a hamster and two other rabbits. One of the rabbits was in the cage with her. The hamster is inside of course. The rabbits are outside though. Can I spread the disease to my hamster? What should I do for the rabbits? We are going to pick up dry tail for the other rabbits and hamster. Is there anything else I should do? I am also switching them to different cages. There has been no diet changes in the food. Thank You
