Can rabbits be affected by mosquitoes?

Answer by  jsmith (2067)

Yes. Rabbits, like other warm-blooded mammals can be bitten by mosquitoes. Their fur does provide some level of protection, but they are more vulnerable around the face and ears.

Yes rabbits can be bitten by mosquitoes. They don't get bit as much as humans because they have fur, just like you don't really get bitten on your head because of your hair.

Mosquitos will bit any type of mammal including rabbits. It isn't a major nuisance because rabbits do have fur to protect them, but there are some organic and nontoxic methods of mosquito control you could check on, also the vet can give you something to keep insects off of rabbits.
