WHRS Class 2: local or weaker toxin · Wisconsin House Rabbit Society chapter list (G. Flentke, 2012): Class 2 — "Local toxins": "Allergens, dermal sensitivity toxins, or systemic toxins of lesser strengths" (list heading: "May cause allergic reaction in rabbits. Be cautious."). WHRS adds that, because rabbits inevitably chew items, these toxins "could be more of a problem than the current literature indicates".
