Well there are Cestodes (tapeworms) that burrow into muscle fibers of the intermediate host and form a cyst and Trichinella which do the same (most common in pigs and rats).

EWWW I hate tapeworms!!! I'm sure youd be able to see those pretty easily when cutting up/ skinning a rabbit. I can look at stomach contents too just to be safe.

Tapeworms, yes...trichinella, no. But domestic rabbits are not likely to have either, I'd think.

Tapeworms are not very common in domesticated rabbits, coccidia is the main offender when it comes to internal parasites.
