Rabbits are naughty and cute. We all want to raise them, but we don’t know how. Below is the method of raising pet rabbits that I have carefully compiled for you. Let’s take a look.

How to raise pet rabbits

1. No animal can live without water, and rabbits are the same. The water given to rabbits must be clean boiled water.

2. Rabbits cannot only eat vegetables for a long time. If rabbits eat vegetables for a long time, rotten vegetables will accumulate in the intestines and they will easily die of enteritis. It should be: 1-6 months = appropriate amount of alfalfa hay + unlimited Timothy hay + baby rabbit food + boiled water; more than 6 months = unlimited Timothy hay + adult rabbit food + boiled water + a small amount of vegetables and fruits (vegetables must be With moisture), just give it a small handful of rabbit food.

3. The living environment of rabbits should be hygienic, dry and ventilated. If the environment is humid and unhygienic, bacteria can easily breed and cause skin diseases in rabbits.

4. Rabbit supplies should be cleaned and disinfected regularly, including its food utensils, rabbit nests, toys, etc.

5. Caged rabbits should be active for more than 1 hour a day.

6. If you are afraid that the rabbit will poop randomly, you can teach it to use the toilet. Its urine and feces must be cleaned every day. If not cleaned, nitrogen will be produced if it accumulates for a long time.

7. When catching a rabbit, be sure not to catch the rabbit’s ears. The ears are an important organ of the rabbit. Rabbits have no sweat glands and must use their ears to dissipate heat. Rabbit ears are not grown for people to catch. If the rabbit is caught, Nerve damage caused by ear scratches will cause the rabbit's ears to be unable to straighten and rotate. The correct way to catch a rabbit should be: drag the rabbit's back with one hand, and lift the rabbit's butt with the other hand. Keep the bunny's legs and belly facing forward.

How rabbits reproduce

It is difficult to distinguish between male and female rabbits. The gender of newborn rabbits can generally be identified by observing the shape of the genital pore and the distance from the anus. If the hole is flat and slightly larger, and the distance between it and the anus is closer, it is a female rabbit; if the hole is round and slightly smaller, and the distance between it and the anus is farther, it is a male rabbit.

8 to 10 weeks after the rabbit is born, the male rabbit will grow testicles (testicles). Grab the rabbit and touch the vagina near the anus with your hand. You will feel a piece of meat slightly larger than a broad bean. This is a male rabbit, and the one without a piece of meat is a female rabbit. However, the pieces of meat vary from big to small, and it is difficult to tell the male from the female individually. Adult male rabbits do not have hair on their scrotum.

When rabbits grow up and start to be in estrus, the male rabbits often slap their hind legs hard on the ground to make a sound, and chase after the female rabbits. It is easy to distinguish the male and female rabbits during this period. This behavior of the male rabbit is to woo the female rabbit and express his presence to her. When a female rabbit is in estrus, she can secrete a special smell, lift her tail and keep swinging it to spread the secreted smell outward, thereby luring male rabbits.
