can rabbits catch human colds? i have a killer of cold its just started to peak today and i am concerned this may effext gizmo, i know this sounds silly but i have looked through my books and cannot find anything...help please:oops:
 
No don't worry! I think it's called 'zoonotic' or something if an illness can be passed from human to animal, but rabbits cannot catch colds from us.

It's not a silly question though- other animals such as rats can I believe.
 
im soooo relieved can finally have a day off work tomorrow to get over this evil virus without affecting the baby! thanks mandy:D
 
Don't worry, when Darcy was a baby I panicked I'd given him my rotten cold and rushed to the vets with him...:oops: :oops: Thankfully the vet was nice and just laughed a short while...:oops: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rats can't (they can catch strep throat though) but guinea pigs and hamsters can I believe :)
