Everybunny has illnesses that they don’t show, bacteria is in them but their immune system is strong enough to fight it. I don’t get why you would want to rehome him. My buns all have pasturella in them but only one shows symptoms. I would never rehome any of my buns from a minor health issue. Most every bun has pasturella, EC and other illnesses in them, it only takes one big stressor for it to take over.

I think you might be over thinking the snuffles. You would have already contaminated Magpie a while ago before your other showed symptoms
(which she would have already had it from her mom) so I would keep him. Unless you really want to give him up over a very minor health issue. Now if you had a bunny that was paralyzed in the back end, then I would understand because tnat is a lot of work caring for a disabled bun.

If you feel he’s getting a very good home, it’s not unfair to rehome him. I agree with BH though on the pasteurella-issue, it’s unlikely that Magpie wouldn’t already have been exposed. It’s however of course up to you. If you feel worried about Magpie and Fitz isn’t getting the attention and exercise he needs because of the risk of disease transfer, then rehoming to a good, bunny-loving home would be a solution. I can see how Magpie needs to be as disease-free as possible in order to be a therapy rabbit, especially if her clients are elderly or in other ways immunocompromized. The likehood that she already carries pasteurella in her nasal cavities and mouth is very high though.

I understand. Like we’ve said in this post and your other post, she has a high chance she already got pasturella from her mom (95%) so you wouldn’t be helping her by getting rid of him. She already has it in her but her immune system is strong to fight it off. You can get your other one on immune stimulants to help fight off the infection but in both buns, the infection is there, along with many other infections that are dormant in their body
