Hi, everyone! So what is this thing?? We went to the George Ranch yesterday and had a blast until we were playing on a Live Oak and my little bunny suddenly started screaming and clawing at her hands and arms. The only thing we could see that was anywhere near her was this fuzzy caterpillar thing. There were a ton of them around there..

What is it and do I need to be scared? Her hands are swelling up around the bites and they obviously are still bothering her, but not so much that she isn't back to doing her normal bunny stuff. She's 3 and non-verbal, so she can't tell me what it actually feels like, unfortunately. I gave her some Claritin and smeared Benadryl over the bite she keeps scratching. Any other tips?
