[align=justify]Mold and toxins from mold can be harmful and even deadly to rabbits. Molds usually grow under specific conditions of temperature and humidity or in diseased/saturated soil. Moldy feeds may cause a variety of health problems in rabbits and humans, especially respiratory disease from breathing in mold spores. Moldy feeds are also less palatable and may cause a reduction in feed intake, resulting in weight loss. [/align] [align=justify]When molds are shocked by sudden fluctuations in temperature (freezes or hot spells), they exude poisons called mycotoxins.
