Good worm vs Bad worm

Its like only 4 worms exist . And if its white its bad . And red is a good .. but there is like thousands of worms Not All worms are bad.

Good Worms

Pot Worm

Pin Worm VS Pot Worm

  • Were they found IN THE RABBIT , or IN THE COMPOST?
  • Are the rabbits showing any signs of hair it weight loss? Itchy butts? If not . Probably not a pin worm.
  • Have you butchered recently? They will be obvious in the intestines... if not .. its NOT a pin worm.
  • Are your rabbits in cages? Probably NOT A PIN WORM.
Pin worms wouldn't just be falling out of your rabbit for you to see unless the rabbits were given a dewormer that stunned the pin worms and caused them to fall out. Even then, they would be encased inside the poop. You would have to break apart the poops to free the pin worms in order to take this pic. ~Marta Wajngarten
rabbits can't give humans pinworms, nor can humans give rabbits pinworms. I mean, I suppose technically, some rabbit pinworm somewhere could mutate enough to be able to infect a human and become the subject of scientific literature around the world, but my non PhD self says that seems unlikely. ~Sarah Reid 

Syphacia muris is zoonotic and commonly found in humans. Caged rabbits dont just get pinworm. I'd be concerned rodents are in or around the rabbit feed or cages. ~Catherine O'Reilly
