Moths and rabbits!!

[Arloismybunny]

Arlo is 4 months and I’ve had him for 2 months. When I was changing his litter box I went to scoop up some of his litter and out of nowhere a moth flew by and is now currently on the ceiling above his playpen, and I obviously can’t reach up there to kill it. I guess my question is are moths like dangerous to rabbits? I feel like that’s a stupid question but I wanted to ask just to be sure.

No worry there. Some can be an annoyance, like food moths, but they are not dangerous.

No, not dangerous. They're attracted to the hay and fur usually. I find little clothes/wool moths creeping out on occasion.

You don't have to worry about your bun, but some moths have larvae that will eat clothes.

By the way, some moths can be as beautiful as butterflies https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Actias_luna-male.jpg
