Rabbits are mammals and any mammal can catch rabies. Rabies is a viral disease occurring in warm-blooded animals, which causes inflammation of the brain. It is most commonly transmitted by a bite from an infected animal.

It is more prevalent in carnivores and omnivores such as foxes, coyotes, mice, and squirrels, as well as domestic cats and dogs, although extensive immunization programs have largely eradicated it in the US and Canada. It is not as common in herbivores such as rabbits; while wild rabbits may become infected through contact with a predator, your domestic rabbit most likely will never come in contact with it.

If a rabbit receives rabies from another animal most of the time it does not survive but you can tell if it does by the symptoms such as foaming of the mouth, unusual or aggressive behavior. Most of the time rabbits do not carry rabies unless bitten.

Get serious. Would you really want to eat anything that you knew had rabies? Even if cooking it killed all the rabies virus would you really want to eat the meat? No way, no how, would I eat it.
