Rats and rabbits?

Question

will a wild rat harm a domestic rabbit other than disease

Answer 1

Rats are considered both prey and predator. One time one of my girls got out of her cage and climbed in my rabbits cage. Thumper was drumming her feet and running around like crazy and growling. Finally she hopped up on her landing away from Sunshine to get away from her. She wouldnt come down till I put her back into her cage. From my experience I would say that might being the fact that its wild and the rabbit from the way Thumper acted would be terrified of the rat.

Answer 2
