The reason is also very simple. At this time, the rabbit's demand for calcium decreased rapidly. The cellulose in ladder grass can help the gastrointestinal peristalsis of rabbits, help rabbits solve the problems of tight urinary tract and obesity, and also solve the problem of grinding teeth of rabbits. It is a staple food that can achieve multiple purposes.
Timothy grass has so many excellent functions, what makes Timothy grass overrated?
First, the palatability is the worst.
This is similar to what we often call bitter medicine. The coarse grains, Chinese cabbage bangzi and celery stalks we eat are also helpful to our gastrointestinal peristalsis, to solve obesity and to detoxify our bodies, but their taste is terrible! Do we eat it every day for health? (Touch your little heart and tell me ~)
Similarly, Timothy grass is good, but it tastes terrible! Bunny is also a snack. You take good care of Tutu all day, and you end up feeding Timothy grass, which tastes terrible. Can you feel how bitter Tutu is? I was treated as a little emperor, a little ancestor, but what I ate was really terrible. How hard it is for me to live until now. Blue thin, mushrooms, can't say! )
If you love Bunny, you should help Bunny more. Coarse grains are good for your health, but you should eat them anyway. Can't you eat well?
Solution: Making grass cakes is a good solution, which contains many additives to make rabbits easier to eat. About how to make grass cakes, there is one in the subscription number of short-tailed planet. You can see it by replying to grass cakes!
Second, lack of nutrition.
Timothy grass is recognized as a grass with low nutritional content, but like rice we eat, Timothy grass is no problem as a staple food.
But when we eat, will we only eat rice to ensure our adequate nutritional intake? Not exactly.
Similarly, we can't just feed Timothy grass to rabbits, but also need other side dishes as companionship. Giving Timothy grass to rabbits is also easier to eat and more nutritious, which is beneficial to the health of rabbits.
Optimization of side dishes: a small amount of vegetables, rabbit food and even fruits every day are good choices. Never give a lot just to save trouble, or rabbits will fall in love with side dishes and not eat staple food, which will put the cart before the horse.
For example, rabbits eat 500 grams of food a day, so it is more scientific and reasonable to need at least 460 grams of ladder grass and 40 grams of vegetables and rabbit food. )
Third, there is a blind spot in understanding.
When it comes to ladder grass, as long as rabbits are more than three months old, they need to start to change ladder grass excessively. This is the longest sentence mom and dad have ever heard. There are not many problems in this sentence, which is very simple science knowledge.
However, this sentence also has a blind spot. There are more and more careful teachers, and the life span of Tutu is much longer than before, which is very gratifying. However, after Tu Tu was over 8 years old, his physical condition was aging. At this time, the amount of ladder grass needs to be reduced, and the weight of nutritional side dishes begins to increase. The cognition that ladder grass is the staple food also needs to change at this time.
Ways to prolong life: The ladder grass also needs to be cut into sections, and the quantity needs to be controlled within 50%. Increase the weight of rabbit food and dried vegetables.
(Note: Dried vegetables! At this time, the water in the vegetables is fatal to the rabbit's gradually fragile intestine. Try to choose green rabbit food without additives, otherwise it will be counterproductive)
Fourth, learn more knowledge.
Pay attention to the subscription number and meager of short-tailed planet. There is always something you don't know about rabbit breeding here, and there are also senior rabbit breeders around you.
