What animals can live with rabbits?

Oh another important thing to consider when cohabitating rabbits with other species is that something like 80% carry (and can spread!) an asymptomatic respiratory bronchitis. Happy to go track down a study since I forgot specifics, if anyone’s curious

I'm curious to see the study.

It’s bordetella, not bronchitis, I forgot, but here’s some! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9096051/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC302969/pdf/iai00008-0349.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9229391/

This search result that won’t show up on the link because I don’t know how to navigate their site: “
Etiology: Bordetella bronchiseptica is a small, Gram-negative, alpha-hemolytic, non-fermenting rod. Incidence: Incidence of infection is uncommon in research animals. Transmission: Routes of transmission include aerosol and direct contact. Many rabbits are asymptomatic carriers.

and this quote from a small pet select article “According to Dr. Alicia McLaughlin, veterinarian at the Center for Bird and Exotic Animal Medicine in Bothell, Washington, most rabbits are asymptomatic carriers of Bordetella. This means Bordetella is naturally found in rabbits’ respiratory tracts and rarely makes them sick. “However, rabbits that are carriers can shed Bordetella into the environment, potentially putting other animals at risk for infection,” she says. This means that even healthy rabbits with no signs of illness can spread deadly Bordetella to a guinea pig pal.”

I forgot how much of a pain finding specific sources is, but hope this helps!
