Chickens and Rabbits

Question
Hi, do you know if rabbits can get diseases from chickens?. Thanks, Hannah

Answer
Dear Hannah,

Chickens and other poultry often carry Salmonella bacteria, which can cause potentially serious health problems in rabbits.  It is best to keep the two creatures separated.

For information on litterbox training and proper care of your bunny, please see:

Hope that helps!
