No, but I went looking for it because I was worried about handling dead birds killed by unknown predators.

I can understand that good pair of throw away gloves for that chore.

What animals get rabies?

Rabies is a disease that naturally affects only mammals. Mammals are warm-blooded animals with fur. People are mammals, and so are most of our pets like cats and dogs. Lots of farm animals like cows and horses are mammals, and so are wild animals like foxes and skunks, raccoons and bats. Birds, snakes, and fish are not mammals, so they can´t get rabies and they can´t give it to you.

Would it have not made more sense to ask me how to keep the water clean and not have to buy zombi shrimp?

Opossum do not get rabies either. I have one living under my house.

After I grill it crawls up in there and chews the good crusty stuff off.
