Lice!?!?!

[KaylorFarms]

If I kept a rabbit in the house, she wouldn't get lice would she?

No.

Only in the freakishly odd circumstance of your house having somehow managed to become infested by an almost rare parasite of an animal that doesn't live there.

I've always wanted a rabbit, but thought they had lice. Thanks everyone for your help!!

Just wondering, do rabbits or bunnies carry lice? I've heard a lot of people say not to get them because they pass lice on to you. Is this true?

I have never seen a louse on a rabbit but that doesn't mean it is impossible for them to have them. That said, lice are species specific. Meaning that a goat louse or a rabbit louse or a rat louse can live only on goats, rabbits, or rats and cannot exist on people. One bite on a foreign host and they are dead. If people have lice, and occasionally they do, they got them from another person.
