In severe cases, wood varnish can be fatal to rabbits.
If you have a rabbit, it is important to keep all wood varnish products out of reach. If you think your rabbit has ingested wood varnish, contact a veterinarian immediately.
Here are some additional tips for keeping your rabbit safe from wood varnish:
* Use only water-based varnishes, which are less harmful to rabbits than oil-based varnishes.
* Apply varnish in a well-ventilated area.
* Allow the varnish to dry completely before allowing your rabbit to come into contact with it.
* Keep all varnish containers closed tightly when not in use.
