Are frogs safe to be near rabbits?

Just had the shock of my life.....

Had a big cardboard box and thought Poppy may like to make a den out of it...so have taken it into her enclosure. As I took it in she ran into her burrow/dug out bit under her cage. I check on this burrow daily (as I dont mind her digging but obviously dont want her to make it too big and me not be able to get her out of it) so pulled back the cage to check and a frog was sat there:shock:

Dont mind frogs but it made me jump (and scream!!) :oops::oops: Is it safe to have Poppy in the same place as it? She doesnt seem at all bothered by it...I do know that frogs carry lungworm so will need to buy advocate to treat my dogs just to be safe. Are bunnies at risk too or can I leave it where it is??
 
I have a pond in my garden and my buns free range when I am out there working. I have lots of frogs in the pond and loads of tadpoles too at the moment. Once they turn into froglets they all hop all over the lawn. I never considered they may be a hazard to my buns:(

Something new to worry about. My cats sometimes bring a frog in but never eat them - I think they must taste disgusting!!
