Matters needing attention in raising rabbits
If there is no safe space (such as balcony), you can also keep it in a cage, and the space in the cage should be large (the cage for small dogs can be used, but pay attention to adding a foot pad at the bottom of the cage, with a large gap). You can't stay in the cage all the time. You should be released for more than an hour or two every day.
Prepare a feed bowl and kettle in the cage (it is recommended that rabbits use a kettle to prevent stomatitis). Let it grind its teeth with a clean piece of wood with a diameter of 5- 10 cm. You can choose the rabbit toilet, which is easier to clean. In addition, sawdust and diapers can be used as toilet padding to reduce the smell of rabbit urine.
Remember to clean the rabbit's toilet at least once a day to keep it clean. It is not recommended to use sawdust, which is easy to stick to hair.
Rabbits are herbivores, so they should provide an unlimited amount of gramineous grass. You can buy rabbit feed in the bird garden, or you can add some grain or molar feed to the feed.
For the sake of balanced nutrition, don't just feed rabbits. When rabbits are 8 weeks old, slowly introduce fresh and pollution-free vegetables, such as water spinach, celery, Qingjiang vegetables, sweet potato leaves, carrots and so on.
The specific amount depends on the physical condition of the rabbit. Expert's suggestion: Generally, a 2.7 kg rabbit needs about 300-500 grams of vegetables every day. Due to the poor detoxification function of rabbits, it should be noted that it is best not to contain pesticides and to clean them thoroughly. After washing, put it in a ventilated place to dry 1 ~ 2 hours (do not expose to the sun), and then dry the remaining water with a kitchen paper towel. Don't be too wet, or you will have diarrhea, which is difficult to treat.
It should be noted that vegetables are different from fruits, and rabbits are not advised to eat fruits. Because fruit is a burden to the rabbit's stomach and teeth. If necessary, please do not exceed 1 day 1-2 tablespoons.
Also, rabbits need water, not raw water. It must be boiled water.
In addition, rabbits love to be clean, so it is more convenient to put them in a fixed place in the cage (usually in another corner where the feed is put), and you can use the rabbit toilet. In order to prevent urine odor, pet diapers or deodorized wood particles can be put on it.
It is suggested to wash at least once a day to keep it clean and hygienic, which is also the premise of rabbit health.
You can also make a fixed toilet outside the cage, prepare a cake box, cut it into an L shape (remove the upper part and one side), and put several layers of newspapers. When the rabbit has finished urinating, clean up the dirty newspaper immediately, or it will not be solved in situ.
