dried. Or in order to save money, go to the small clinic and ask for some calcium gluconate tablets, and flour them for later use.

Buy some oats, and flour them for later use (barley and wheat can be found if you can, and a little rice flour and bran can also be added, depending on whether you have any place to find these things)

Cut the forage into small pieces of about 5MM with scissors, or even smaller, for later use (you can also find grass yourself). If you don't have it, just use the dregs of the grass you bought.

Corn flour or stubble, just buy it in the supermarket.

A little sugar

A little less salt (if you eat too much, you will lose hair)

Soybean dregs (I use soybean milk waste, you can use soybeans)

In addition, you can add a little sawdust and chicken excrement dry powder (yes, chicken excrement dry powder, but I won't add it if you kill me. Only add a little.

Try to match all the ingredients, because the nutrition of rabbits is more balanced. Grind these things into powder except grass (I want grass to be chewy and rabbits to grind their teeth), add a little water, and mix them into the shape you want (stick, ball, rod and triangle, whatever you want! Don't add water if you feed it loosely.)

Then heat it in the oven or microwave oven for 2 to 3 minutes, and you can try to add time by yourself, because everyone adds water differently.

then air-dry and cool.

Special note, the bought brand rabbit food generally has the function of deodorizing. That's because some high-fiber herbs are added. I don't know much about this kind of grass, and I can't get it without pictures, so I have to let it stink!

1. Preservation of rabbit food

It's warm and rainy, so we must pay attention to preserve rabbit food to prevent mildew.

attention should be paid to rabbit food made from corn (which is the main raw material in China). With the increase of storage period, the quality of corn became worse, especially the contents of vitamins A and E decreased. Moreover, because corn loses seed coat protection after crushing, it is easy to absorb water and mildew. (Rabbit food with high corn content can easily lead to carbohydrate overload in cecum and colon, diarrhea in rabbits, or induce colibacillosis and Clostridium welchii disease. It can also cause obesity. )

Therefore, it is recommended that you don't buy a large amount of cheap rabbit food in bulk, just buy it for one month, and buy it as you eat, so as to avoid the mildew of feed affecting the health of rabbits.

other brands of rabbit food should also pay attention to moisture-proof, and they can be stored in the refrigerator, which is not only moisture-proof, but also can be stored for a long time.

2. Importance and harm of calcium and phosphorus

The functions of calcium are bone formation, blood coagulation, nerve regulation, and maintaining acid-base balance in the body.

High calcium in feed will not cause harm to rabbits. Unlike other animals, rabbits excrete excess calcium in the urinary system, while other animals excrete it in the digestive tract. Therefore, rabbits can tolerate high calcium food, and excess calcium can be excreted from urine.

The main function of phosphorus is to synthesize various nutrients needed by rabbits. The content of phosphorus in feed should not be too high, on the one hand, rabbits will refuse to eat, on the other hand, it will pollute the environment.

3. Harmful vegetables and grasses

Poisonous plants:

1. Xanthium sibiricum: After eating, it will cause bloating, dyspnea and listlessness, and it will die within 1-2 days.

2. Ranunculus: causes acute gastroenteritis.

3. hemlock: it causes central nervous system disorder in rabbits, and it is best to die of dyspnea.

4. Ricinus communis: Thrombosis, which leads to blood circulation disorder.

5. Pulsatilla chinensis: contains deadly toxic substances.

6. Rhizoma Arisaematis: contains deadly toxic substances.

7. Tobacco: causes abdominal distension, diarrhea, salivation, dilated pupils, and finally dies.

8 Acorus calamus: paralysis of central nervous system.

9. Carrot tassel: It contains more nitrate, causing respiratory center paralysis and suffocation.

Too many, so I'll write the names.

Potato seedlings, tomato seedlings, day lilies, aster, Datura stramonium, Veratrum nigrum, Stellera chamaejasme, nux vomica, colchicine, Lycoris radiata, Brucea javanica, oleander, evergreen, lupin, Eupatorium odoratum, Oenanthe javanica, Chinese lobelia.

spinach contains too much oxalate, which affects the absorption and utilization of calcium. Yes, but it must be fed in small quantities and not continuously.

At the same time, welcome everyone to visit my forum, which has a column on Bunny.

Chinese cabbage, rape, cabbage, spinach, etc. are rich in vitamins and high in water, and have the function of clearing fire and relaxing bowels. If you feed these vegetables with high water content to rabbits, you must dry them in the shade and feed them no more than 1 grams a day. In addition, these vegetables must be fed fresh. If they go bad, they will form nitrite and cause rabbit poisoning.

4. Too much crude fiber can easily lead to coccidiosis

Recently, through consulting materials and consulting technicians in the feed industry, it is found that too much crude fiber can easily lead to coccidiosis. Although crude fiber is a necessary nutrient for rabbits, too much or too little crude fiber is wrong. Therefore, regular quantitative feeding is the correct feeding method.
