If you have three rabbits, and one is sick, what should you do first?

  1. Treat all three rabbits

  2. Wait to see if the other rabbits get sick

  3. Isolate the sick one

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Isolate the sick one

If one of your rabbits is sick, it is important to isolate them from the other rabbits as soon as possible. This is to prevent the spread of illness to the other two rabbits and to reduce the risk of the sick rabbit's condition worsening due to possible stress from the other rabbits. Although it may seem like a good idea to treat all three rabbits or wait to see if the others get sick, neither of these options is recommended. Over-treating healthy rabbits can be harmful and waiting can allow the illness to spread and potentially harm all three rabbits. Option D, "None of the above," is also incorrect as isolating the sick rabbit is the first step to take in addressing the situation.
