Do rabbits have parasites?

Rabbits are very cute animals. Many people like rabbits and keep them as pets. They are very cute with their long ears, white fur and red eyes. Many little girls like to hold it in their arms, but you must pay attention to the rabbit's cleanliness. If you do not pay attention to the rabbit's cleanliness, many parasites will be produced in the rabbit's body, which will then be transmitted to the human body. Harmful to human health.

Generally, rabbits do not have lice, fleas, etc., but they may have psoriasis, and parasites such as coccidia that grow in their stomachs. However, these only spread among rabbits and are not contagious to humans. They can also be prevented and treated. When feeding, be careful not to feed stale food. West

Rabbit feces and urine will attract insects, so they must be cleaned up in time.

Parasites are any organisms that live inside or outside a host to obtain the nutrients or shelter they need to maintain their survival, development or reproduction. Many small animals live as parasites, attached to larger animals.

And viruses are also parasites. So be sure to keep the rabbit's nest clean and hygienic.

Rabbits are not easily infected with lice and fleas because their body temperature is relatively high (38-39 degrees, and a fever is only considered over 40 degrees), so lice and fleas do not like rabbits.

But it is not absolute. If there is a source of infection, such as contact with other animals with parasites, you will still be infected. Therefore, you should avoid contact with cats and dogs that have insects, and avoid taking your rabbit to grass that may be contaminated.

Arthropod parasites Mites are arthropod parasites that can cause skin diseases. To prevent mite infection, pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the environment, and be careful when taking your rabbit out.

According to my observation, the most common mite in rabbits is the hairy scabies, which also belongs to the arthropod family. The scabies are brown and very small, crawling densely on the hair. To the naked eye, you may think they are dust, but when you look closely, you can see that they are moving, and then you realize they are bugs. Oh my gosh! Scabies do not suck blood, but feed on rabbit dander. Scabies are actually not scary. Too many of them will affect the quality of the fur, and they cannot be transmitted to humans, unless you don’t like taking a bath or changing clothes.

If you don't use medicine, bathing (it doesn't have to be a medicated bath, any shampoo that rabbits can use will do) can improve the situation. Bathing with plain water without shampoo is also helpful. Not bathing and combing the hair frequently can also improve the situation. But it must be noted that scabies can survive in the environment, so the house must be clean and dust-free, and rabbits should not be allowed to go to corners where dust is likely to hide.

Rabbit mothers may scream and be horrified when they first see scabies, but experienced rabbit mothers will just smile and go buy medicine, or sometimes even ignore it. This is not difficult to deal with. If cats and dogs are infected with external parasites, there are many medicines that can be used, but rabbits are very sensitive to drugs. As for the problem of external parasites, there are very few medicines that can be used for rabbits. Be sure to choose the medicine according to the recommendations of the rabbit doctor.
