Friends who love rabbits, are you ready? Here, let's start together and carry out the pet action to the end ... pet them and learn more about them!
★ Bunny's favorite: Bunny likes to eat vegetables, humble abode and leaves (fresh corn or corncob and sun-dried broken corn kernels), celery, eggplant, coriander, cucumber, potato, wax gourd, sweet potato (and sweet potato vine). Rabbits should eat fruit. Favorite fruits are apples, pears, watermelons, oranges and navel oranges. Rabbits don't eat any hay when they eat fresh vegetables or fruits. Rabbits should be fed with small particles. Rabbits don't like to eat big particles. For the health of rabbits, rabbits drink cold boiled water or pure water.
★ Feeding regulations: Rabbits need to eat fresh vegetables three times a day and feed them twice regularly. The time is 7-8 am, noon 12- 1, 6 pm, 9 pm, and afternoon 1. So adopters must have enough time.
★ Activity time: Rabbits will go out for outdoor activities at a fixed time every day, that is, 6-9 pm, so be sure to let them play for 3 hours. Rabbits will definitely shit and pee outside when they are exercising outdoors, which is for sure. Therefore, breeders must be very patient. Rabbit shit doesn't stink, urine smells, and it's a big bubble. The rabbit cage must be placed in a ventilated place, not in the sun.
★ Clean the nest: empty the feces and urine of rabbits every day, at least once a day, otherwise the smell in summer is quite strong.
★ Feeding of young: Rabbits born just one month must be fed with glucose water. They like to drink sweet water until they are three months old. Tutu's stomach is weak. Vegetables and grass wet with water will make him have diarrhea. Rabbits should never drink tap water, especially pet rabbits! You can't give fresh fruits and vegetables for less than three months, which is easy to have diarrhea. Feeding of young rabbits: The feeding ratio of young rabbits is also very important. Feed the rabbits in the morning and evening, and the total amount per day should not exceed 3%~4% of the weight of the rabbits. Alfalfa grass was fed three months ago and Timoshenko grass was fed three months later. Don't forget to buy her something to grind her teeth!
Although Tutu is not particularly obedient, when you know her habits, you can be closer to us ~ Let's cultivate feelings together! (* _ _ *) Hee hee ...
〓◆ Bunny Bunny Hug-
⊙o⊙ Never hold on to Tutu's ear. TT's ears are covered with nerves, blood vessels and fragile bones, which is a very fragile place. If you do that, TT's ears will break easily;
⊙o⊙ Move the little TT ... put your hands under TT's body and cross them, and hold them up with the palms on both sides;
⊙o⊙ Pick up the big TT ... Hold her armpit with one hand and her ass with the other, so that TT's backup is close to your chest.
★ Some TT don't like being hugged, so be careful when hugging for the first time to avoid falling!
◆ Prevention of rabbit disease-
O coccidiosis can be prevented by using coccidiosis drugs on time every month;
⊙o⊙ Taking a tablet of lactase orally every day can prevent diarrhea to the greatest extent;
Prevention of stomatitis can avoid feeding hard and sharp food, such as straw stalks. You can pick out the soft grass leaves for TT first, and those hard grass stems will remain until TT is 3 months old.
★ TT before the age of 4 months focuses on preventing coccidiosis, diarrhea and stomatitis.
◆ Tutu is sick-
★ Tutu will have a series of reactions when he is sick, such as not eating, listlessness, diarrhea (the hair around the anus is dirty), sneezing, runny nose (the hair around the nose is dirty), drooling (the hair around the chin and mouth is dirty), and being unable to walk normally. All these are TT's diseases ... and should be treated in time.
〓◆ Rabbit feeding medicine rabbit-
⊙o⊙ If the medicine you are feeding is tablets, use a spoon to grind the tablets into powder and put them on a piece of paper, then prepare a 5 ml or 2 ml syringe, unplug the plug at the back, pour the powder into the syringe, and then slowly install the plug;
⊙o⊙ Turn the syringe upside down, flick the syringe with your fingers to drop the powder below, then draw a little water (not more than 1 ml), then pull the stopper back to maximize the volume of the syringe, and shake the syringe vigorously to make the powder paste;
⊙o⊙ After removing the needle, insert the plastic nozzle at the front of the syringe through the gaps on both sides of TT front teeth, and slowly push the medicine in.
★ Be careful not to push the plug hard to avoid the powder being blown out.
★ Be careful not to waste and choke TT.
In addition, there are many drugs that can be directly mixed with water or used in food. You might as well try them.
〓◆ Tu Tu keeps warm-
⊙o⊙ TT is afraid of heat, cold, dryness and humidity. The suitable temperature is 15-25℃. If the room temperature is not lower than 10 degrees in winter, there is no need to take extra warm-keeping measures or lay a cotton pad for TT to rest.
⊙o⊙ Attention should be paid to moistureproof in winter in southern areas, otherwise TT will easily get sick. TT doesn't need to wear anything. If you dress TT, TT can't comb her hair properly, which will make her lose her hair and get skin disease.
★ If it is very cold in winter, the most important thing is not to let TT be blown away by the wind.
Tu Tu cuts her nails-
Tools: a small knife-edge nail clipper (for cats and dogs) and a flashlight for two people.
Generally speaking, TT (such as white) nails are red and white. With natural light, you can see the blank space of nails and the red meat inside. Cut the white part outside, never cut the meat;
⊙o⊙ Grey black TT Most nails are grey black. Pay attention to shine the flashlight on the root of the nail, and you can see the meat through the light on the front of the nail. The cutting method is the same as before.
★ Be sure to look carefully before cutting. It is best to prepare alcohol cotton balls for emergency bleeding. At the same time, the person holding TT should constantly calm its forehead and keep TT quiet.
★ If the obedient TT can lie on his back, one person can hold up his stomach to soothe his forehead, and the other person can easily cut it.
〓◆ Interaction with Tu Tu-
⊙o⊙ Baby hug is also a way to cultivate feelings for TT. Massage with her, the little guy is comfortable ~ you can always lie in your arms;
O likes massage, so I often pat TT's ass and give her a massage to make her feel comfortable and secure.
★ Every rabbit has a different temper and personality, so it is difficult to guarantee that the same method is useful for every rabbit. Therefore, in life, we should observe more and treat more attentively!
Finally, about how to identify the size of TT and the feeding method of cubs ... I would like to remind all my friends of some common nursing knowledge:
Is it as big as TT? TT's gender?
⊙o⊙ Bunnies sold on the street are generally 15-20 days old, and a few are 25 days old, if they are not as big as the palm of your hand or almost as big. Rabbits with drooping ears sold in pet shops can consult the owner. Rabbits with drooping ears are usually weaned in 45 days, that is, they usually reach customers in about 2 months. Tutu can't see the sex until she is 3 months old. The way to look at gender is quite special. You need to manually turn over the rabbit's genitals, and you can find someone who understands.
It's not easy to tell the difference between male and female when rabbits are young, but it's much easier when they grow up. When I was a child, the male rabbit's testicles were hidden in the stomach and slowly descended into the scrotum in about 3 months. There is no hair around the scrotum of adult male rabbits, which is very easy to identify.
When a baby rabbit is born within three months, it is not easy to distinguish between a male rabbit and a female rabbit. The distance between the anus and genitals of the male rabbit is farther than that of the female rabbit, so it is not difficult for ordinary people to tell it by paying attention.
If you want to identify it more accurately, you should gently turn the genitals up and open them with your hands. You can see that the male rabbit's genitals are cylindrical and the female rabbit's genitals are vertical. It takes a little skill for a rabbit to tell a male from a female three months ago. First, grab the skin behind the rabbit's neck with one hand, pull up its small tail with the other hand and gently press down the genitals. A small spot is exposed under the anus of the male rabbit, and a long crack is exposed in the female rabbit.
When the rabbit is three months old, it is easy to tell its sex. At this time, a bulging round bag will grow on the mother rabbit's ass. In addition, the standard to distinguish male rabbits from female rabbits is to compare their sizes. Generally, a big rabbit is a male rabbit.
◆: Did Tutu eat?
Rabbits are herbivores, of course, they should take grass as their staple food. The common grasses that rabbits eat in China are alfalfa grass, ladder grass, oat grass, fruit tree grass and ryegrass.
⊙o⊙ Young rabbits are mainly composed of ladder grass and alfalfa grass, supplemented by rabbit food and enough water. Adult rabbits can add proper amount of vegetables and other kinds of grass on the basis of the above. Because it is inconvenient for the owner to eat grass, the family mainly feeds rabbit food and grass. Rabbit food also contains grass ingredients, which is convenient for storage and feeding. Grass can be provided as a snack, and it can be supplied in unlimited quantities if conditions permit. We feed ourselves rabbit food, 30% in the morning and 70% in the evening. Generally, normal adult rabbits eat 6 kg of grain and grass a month, which is about 4 kg of grain and 2 kg of grass.
◆: How much does this rabbit eat a day?
⊙ O ⊙ 0-3 weeks old, breast milk.
⊙o⊙2-3 weeks old, most street rabbits are sold after 2 weeks old (15-2 1 day old). It is suggested to substitute milk+unlimited tender leaves of ladder grass+a small amount of tender leaves of alfalfa hay (one handful per meal) and a small amount of rabbit food (65438 per meal).
⊙ O ⊙ 4-7 weeks: appropriate amount of breast milk or milk substitute+unlimited amount of tender leaves of Timothy grass+a small amount of alfalfa hay (a pinch per meal) and a small amount of rabbit food (one meal 15-25g), 2 meals a day. Drinking water is not limited (electrolytic multidimensional can be added).
⊙ O ⊙ 7- 12 weeks old: unlimited amount of ladder grass+appropriate amount of alfalfa grass (one handful per meal)+appropriate amount of rabbit food (30-40 grams per meal), 2 meals a day, unlimited amount of drinking water (electrolytic multidimensional can be added). Double hardness
⊙ O ⊙ 12- 16 weeks old: unlimited amount of ladder grass+appropriate amount of alfalfa grass (one handful per meal)+appropriate amount of rabbit food (40g per meal), appropriate amount of vegetables, 2 meals per day, and unlimited amount of drinking water (electrolytic multidimensional can be added).
⊙o⊙ 17 weeks -6 months old: unlimited amount of ladder grass+other grasses, (if grass, oat grass and ryegrass)+appropriate amount of alfalfa grass (one handful per meal)+appropriate amount of rabbit food (40-50g per meal), slightly more vegetables, 2 meals a day, unlimited drinking water.
⊙ O ⊙ After 7 months of age: Like adults, unlimited amount of ladder grass+other grasses, (if grass, oat grass and ryegrass)+appropriate amount of rabbit food (40-50g per meal), slightly more vegetables and unlimited drinking water.
★ Note: Vegetables cannot be given individually. If you give too much, not only will the rabbit have diarrhea and die, but NN will also stink, so it can be fed as a snack in adulthood.
〓◆ The taste of TT?
⊙o⊙ Regular cleaning is definitely necessary, and human excrement has a taste. Isn't it tasteless to clean up? Generally, it is cleaned once in the morning and evening, and TT will go to the toilet in the cage to relax the owner a lot. In addition, putting water-absorbing particles in the toilet is one way, and you can also put some water. First, it can dilute TT's urine, and second, it is not easy to leave yellow urine stains at the bottom of the toilet, which is more convenient to clean.
◆ TT snacks?
⊙o⊙ Rabbit friends often feed TT what they eat, chocolate, steamed bread, potato chips, weeds pulled out of the garden ... Standard feeding configuration: TT cage, kettle, food basin, built-in grass rack and salt brick. TT mainly feeds Alex Timothy grass, Aibo grass and Aibo oat grass as supplements. Dr. Rabbit lured TT to cut her nails with ryegrass to distract her. She has never been fed vegetables and carrots, and occasionally she is fed some apples and a handful of rabbit food in the morning and evening. There are many brands of rabbit food and hay, and rabbit friends can buy these foods for rabbits according to their own economic situation. There are many rabbit snacks on the internet, so we should control the number and times. When TT loves them, don't give them in despair.

Coccidiosis prevention and treatment supplement:
coccidiosis
Rabbit coccidia is a unicellular protozoa of Amir. The adult is round or oval, and the oocysts of coccidia are discharged with the feces of rabbits (Figure 4-3- 1), which is infectious after forming sporulated oocysts in a warm and humid environment. According to the preliminary investigation, there are 14 species of rabbit coccidia in China, among which Eimeria skrjabini, Eimeria enterica and Eimeria intermedia are the most serious.
All kinds of rabbits are susceptible to coccidia, and young rabbits weaned to 3 months old are the most susceptible to coccidia and have a high mortality rate. In rabbit farms with poor sanitary conditions, the infection rate of coccidiosis in young rabbits can reach 100%, and the mortality rate is about 80%. Adult rabbits have strong resistance, mostly recessive infection, but their growth and development are affected. The disease is mainly transmitted through the digestive tract. The mother rabbit's nipple is stained with oocysts, and the feed and drinking water are polluted by the feces of sick rabbits, which can spread coccidiosis. The disease can also be spread through rabbit cages, utensils, flies and mice. Coccidiosis mostly occurs in warm and rainy seasons and is often endemic. Sick rabbits and cured rabbits carry worms for a long time and become important sources of infection.
The incubation period of coccidiosis is usually 2-3 days, sometimes longer. The main symptoms of sick rabbits are listlessness, loss of appetite, collapse, increased secretion from eyes and nose, pale eye mucosa, diarrhea and frequent urination (Figure 4-3-2). According to the parasitic position of coccidia, the disease can be divided into intestinal coccidiosis, hepatic coccidiosis and mixed coccidiosis, of which mixed coccidiosis is the most. The typical symptoms of intestinal type are intractable diarrhea, fecal pollution around the anus of sick rabbits and rapid death. Liver type is characterized by enlarged abdominal circumference, drooping, hepatomegaly, palpation pain, and mild yellow staining of mucosa. In the late stage of onset, young rabbits often have nervous system symptoms, which are characterized by limb spasm and paralysis, and eventually die of extreme weakness. The mortality rate of diseased rabbits is 40% ~ 70%, sometimes as high as 80%.
Pathological changes:
1. Hepatic coccidiosis: The diseased rabbit has hepatomegaly with white or yellowish nodular lesions on the surface, which are round and the size of peas and distributed along the bile duct (Figure 4-3-3). Incision of the lesion revealed thick yellowish liquid, enlarged gallbladder and thick dark bile. Interstitial hepatitis can occur in chronic liver disease, and some connective tissues around the hepatic duct and between hepatic lobules proliferate, which makes liver cells shrink, liver volume shrink and liver cirrhosis.
2. Enterococcosis: Inflammation, congestion and sometimes bleeding can be seen in the mucosa of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and cecum. The duodenum expands and thickens, and the small intestine is filled with gas and a lot of mucus. In chronic cases, the intestinal mucosa is light gray with many white spots or nodules (Figure 4-3-5), and sometimes there are small purulent and necrotic lesions. The mesenteric lymph nodes are swollen, the urine in the bladder is yellow and turbid, and the bladder mucosa falls off.
3. Mixed coccidiosis: All kinds of lesions exist at the same time, and the lesions are more serious.
Diagnostic method:
The oocysts in feces can be examined by saturated saline floating method, or the scrapings of intestinal mucosa or liver lesions can be made into smears for microscopic examination of coccidia oocysts, merozoites or merozoites. If a large number of oocysts are found in feces or coccidia at different stages are found in lesions, diagnosis can be made.
Preventive and control measures:
1. Prevention:
(1) The rabbit house should be kept clean and dry. Ensure that the feed and utensils are clean and hygienic, and will not be polluted by rabbit manure. Strengthen disinfection, rabbit cages and feeding troughs should be disinfected with hot alkaline water at least once a week 1 time, or exposed to the sun.
(2) The disease should be treated in time without isolation, and the dead bodies and internal organs of sick rabbits should be burned or buried deeply.
(3) The male and female rabbits used for seed selection must undergo stool examination for many times, and healthy rabbits can keep the seeds for use. The new rabbits purchased must also be observed in isolation for 15 ~ 20 days to confirm that there is no coccidiosis before entering the group. Adult rabbits and young rabbits should be raised separately Young rabbits should be grouped immediately after weaning.
2. Treatment:
(1) chlorguanidine was mixed with 0.03% for 7 days, and then mixed with 0.0 15% for long-term feeding. Just in case, the mixture can be mixed at the concentration of 0.0 15% and fed continuously for 45 days.
(2) After sulfadimethoxine and dimethoxybenzylaminopyrine are mixed according to the ratio of 5: 1, they are mixed and fed at the concentration of 0.0 12% ~ 0.0 13% for 5 ~ 7 days, and then mixed and fed at the above concentration for 5 ~ 7 days after 7 days.
(3) Grind Globulin (nitrobenzamide) and triple calcium phosphate * * * into fine powder, prepare a 25% premix, and mix and feed it with 0.0 1.25% preventive concentration and 0.025% therapeutic concentration for 3-5 days.
(4) Compound Dijunjing, 30 mg per kg body weight of rabbits every day (the dose is doubled when feeding for the first time), feeding for 3 ~ 5 days.
(5) Furazolidone, 1 3mg/kg for rabbits under the age of month, and 1 4mg/kg for rabbits over the age of month for 7 consecutive days.
(6) 5g of Pulsatilla chinensis, 5g of Cortex Phellodendri, 5g of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 5g of Cortex Fraxini and 5g of Scutellariae Radix, which are decocted in water and then mixed and taken.
(7) 50 grams of Bombyx Batryticatus, 5 grams of peach kernel, 0/5g of Atractylodes macrocephala/kloc-,0/5g of Poria/kloc-,0/5g of Polyporus/kloc-,25g of rhubarb, 25g of Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga, 0/5g of Cinnamomum cassia twig/kloc-and 5g of Alisma orientalis, and each rabbit was fed with 5g of the mixture every day.
(8) Cortex Phellodendri and Rhizoma Coptidis each10g, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei 7.5g, Scutellariae Radix 25g, Radix Glycyrrhizae15g, and * * * were ground into fine powder, and each rabbit was 7.5g per day for three consecutive days.
(9) Fresh leaves of Herba Violae, Herba Hedyotidis Diffusae, Herba Taraxaci, Herba Plantaginis, Amaranthus and Melia azedarach are fed to each rabbit every day for 30-50g (the amount of Melia azedarach leaves is less than 30g), and each rabbit is fed/kloc-0 every other day.
Because most drugs are effective in the early development stage of coccidia-division and reproduction, they should be used in time. When a few rabbits in the rabbit group get sick, drugs should be used immediately to prevent and treat the whole group of rabbits. In addition, we should pay attention to the alternate use of drugs to avoid coccidia from developing drug resistance.

Rabbit stomatitis
During the period of 1-4 months, the rabbit is prone to this disease. It is necessary to observe the rabbit's mouth and chin once a day. If the rabbit's mouth is drooling, or the hair around the mouth is dirty or turns green, hairy and smelly, it can be determined that the rabbit has stomatitis, and it must be treated with medicine at the first time, and the hope of cure is great. If you don't take the medicine for more than 5 days, the rabbit has little chance of survival.
The basic principle is sterilization, anti-inflammatory and wound healing. So I bought potassium permanganate tablets, watermelon frost and vitamin B2. My treatment sequence is to wash my chin and lips with normal saline, and then apply a cotton swab to my chin, lips and gums with potassium permanganate solution. Because potassium permanganate solution is highly oxidizing, I'm worried that the concentration will become high after drying, which will burn the skin, so I wash it with medicine first, and then with warm water. The washing water I use is cooled by boiling water, so even if the rabbit licks his lips, it should have nothing to do with wet hair. Basically, washing your chin and front paws three times is almost the same as taking a shower. ...
Hold your front paws and chest with one hand, and dip your other hand in water. Then blow-dry with a hair dryer, and finally spray watermelon frost on the inside of lips and gums. Don't eat or drink for half an hour to prevent all the powder from being eaten, and you can't get dressed.
Vitamin B2 is dissolved in 100 ml of drinking water, 2 tablets a day. Worried that the rabbit would not drink it, I added 1 drop of honey. I call it rabbit special drink. Food likes:) and it also cured constipation caused by psychological stress in unfamiliar environment.
Treatment: Need to buy iodine glycerin, gentamicin sulfate and medical cotton swabs. Iodine glycerin can be bought in general pharmacies, and gentamicin sulfate can be bought in pet hospitals.
First, use a cotton swab to smear the rabbit's mouth and mouth. If the cotton swab turns black at this time, don't worry. This is normal. After applying iodine glycerin twice, apply gentamicin sulfate twice. Take this medicine twice a day, and the hair on the rabbit's mouth will slowly dry, so it won't get wet again ... It usually takes 1-2 weeks to take the medicine, and then stop taking it after the rabbit recovers completely. Finally, wash the hair on its mouth, because the hair is uncomfortable to stick together ~
★ Friends, please be kind to the little pets in our lives-they don't cry or make trouble, which brings laughter and inspiration to you and me ... but they can only accompany us for a few short years in our lives. There are many feelings that can be missed in life, and precious and beautiful feelings are really hard to get! Please remember: at first, human nature is kind.
