rex rabbit and mosquitoes

Question
i want to take my rabbit out to my back yard,its fenced in and i took her out today and she seems to like it, the thing is that we have a bit of a mosquitoe problem. we dont go out without getting bit a good 15 to 20 times. will she be better off inside? will it make a difference to her? thank you.

Answer
Depending on where you live, some mosquitoes can carry a very dangerous virus that can spred from wild cottontails to domestic rabbits. If you have cottontails in your area, I would advise taking her outside when there are less mosquitoes. Alternatively, you can look into ways of reducing the number of mosquitoes. Make sure all standing water is dumped out. Try some cintronella candles or a bug zapper.
