Moulds that are safe and unsafe for rabbits.

I'm perplexed right now. I just discovered a mould on my enclosed porch and I worried for my General Bismark. I don't know how long it's been there, but he likes to spend alot of time out there lounging. I gave him a good look over and watched him, and everything seems peachy.

I called my vet about this specific mould, and he actually had no idea if it wa harmful or not. I called two other vets as well with no answers.

The mould is known as "Smile Mould" or sometimes "Wood Multch Mould." It's a bright yellow fluffy mould.

Would anyone have any idea? Thanks!

I doubt that it would be harmful, from personal experience I have found that many times rabbits will be able to tell whether or not a substance is dangerous... and will try to avoid the dangerous ones.
