Anyone have a cite where they list all of the brands of pet food that were affected in the recent stories about the tainted pet food? Specifically I am trying to find out if any rabbit food was affected. So far I have only heard about cats and dogs. My kids pet rabbit recently died, it was young and seemingly healthy. It died suddenly a short time before this story broke. Thanks for your help. ---

[Here ya go.](http://www.menufoods.com/recall/) This was the link [CNN](http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/03/17/petfood.recall.ap/index.html)provides in their article on the case. ---

Everything I’ve read said that the affected food was all of the “cuts of meat in gravy” type. Rabbits don’t eat that, do they? ---

[QUOTE=Thudlow Boink] Everything I’ve read said that the affected food was all of the “cuts of meat in gravy” type. Rabbits don’t eat that, do they? [/QUOTE] Only the really mean ones do. Since I now heard it was actually rat poison and not some bacteria I thought it was more likely that it could have affected rabbit food too. ---

Thanks for the links. Since we don’t have cats or dogs I didn’t pay attention to the story. Wet food only. Definately was not the cause of death for poor Cinnamon. It was interesting to click on the [stock chart](http://www.ccnmatthews.com/news/releases/include/showChartFiremail.jsp?company_name=Menu%20Foods%20Income%20Fund&symbol=MEW.UN&exchange=TSX) from **Joey P** ’s link. I guess the old adage that there is no bad publicity doesn’t apply to the stock market. ---
