Does anyone know if it is safe to handle my pet rabbit while I am pregnant?

Rabbits do not have the same risk that is associated with Toxoplasmosis when cleaning out a cat litter box.





They can be the carrier of some zoonotic (humans can get) diseases. Some transmitted by fleas. So there could be some risk. I think a domesticated pet rabbit is a pretty small risk myself.





The best thing is to talk with your Physician, and even your veterinarian can give you information.





I would not clean up the cage, and make sure the rabbit is flea and tick free.





If you do have to get rid of the rabbit hope you find a good home, I know it can be hard to do, but you have to put you unborn's health first.





Best of luck

I had a pet rabbit (she was litter trained and kept inside) when I was pregnant with my first son. My doctor said having a rabbit was safe, and I could even change her litterbox. Pregnant women are NOT to change a cat litter box, though! Since cats are meat eaters, there is something in cat feces that is harmful. So, unless your rabbit eats meat, you're safe.Does anyone know if it is safe to handle my pet rabbit while I am pregnant?

A rabbit is perfectly safe to have an handle while pregnant.
