What is RHDV2? Should I be worried about it?

[Arloismybunny]

Ok so Arlo is officially 3 months! I’ve had him for a month. He will be getting neutered when he turns 6 months, so there’s been no need to take him to the vet as he’s been healthy. But As I was scrolling through YouTube a video from Lennon the bunny popped up that I had never seen before talking about the rabbit disease RHDV2. I know it says that I live in Maine but I actually live in New Jersey (don’t remember why I put that I lived in Maine lol.) A majority of the post I’ve seen about it where from 2020. Is the virus still around and is it something I need to be worried about??
