I found this spider in my outdoor rabbit cage and I accidental touched it (and probably broke of its leg) when I was balancing myself with my hand on the side of the cage. What spider is this and is it venomous? Can it harm my rabbits?

One of the orb web spiders not sure exactly which one, venom is not lethal in humans but it might kill a rabbit.

I removed it from the cage it is now in a very secure critter box till my boyfriend comes home so he can take it away... As far away as possible!

Apparently the ones in Australia can get big enough to eat birds and snakes.

I love my tarantulas, but these spiders make my hair stand up...

The golden orb web spider in south africa eat birds. When i was growing up int Kruger, we often found waxbils and red billed quelea even in their webs.
