        I unfortunately caught covid and wondering if I should be worried about Dorian and Miu. I have heard of rare cases of cats or dogs getting sick, but nothing on rabbits so hopefully I haven’t put them at risk. I have been feeding them and petting them (well mostly just Dorian as Miu is mostly pet me with your eyes) Anyone else had to take care of buns while sick? I am hoping that I can hang out with them still as they are company, but don’t want to put them at risk either.

          I did find this article from house rabbit society: https://rabbit.org/covid-19-2/

          Though it is more focused on rabbits transmitting than catching. It did seem to imply that they were asymptomatic though.

            There was a study that showed it was technically possible for the virus to replicate in their nasal cavities. Keep in mind that they were artificially infected in a lab setting. It should also be noted that none of the rabbits in the experiment exhibited any symptoms. Verdict – Unlikely… but even if they did get the virus from you, it wouldn’t make them sick.

              Thanks @LBJ10! That makes me feel better, I tend to be such a worry wart with the buns. Also knowing that I don’t have to be trying to avoid interacting with them makes things easier as watching buns is good medicine!

                Nothing wrong with washing your hands, etc. before interacting with them. But I don’t think you need to avoid them. 🙂
