1. Making a nest: Before all the rabbit babies are born, first prepare two birthing boxes. The No. 1 birthing box is for the mother rabbit to nurse, and the No. 2 birthing box is for the baby rabbit to sleep. After the mother rabbit gives birth, the breeder can wear disposable gloves and use rabbit hair, cotton grass and the like to make a nest for the baby rabbit in the No. 1 birthing box. Place a small quilt, small mattress, pet changing pad, soft towel or clean cotton in the second birth box. Because it is very important for the bunny to keep warm, even in summer, the indoor temperature must be kept above 27 degrees. The bunny can also be covered with some cotton to keep warm. If the temperature is not enough, the bunny may freeze to death.
2. Keep warm: If we touch the body of the bunny with our hands, it will feel very hot, just like the temperature when a person has a fever. This is the normal body temperature of the bunny. If the body temperature of the bunny is mild, The normal body temperature of our people is almost the same, which proves that it is relatively cold. We need to keep him warm as soon as possible. Remember not to use an electric blanket, even if it is set to the lowest setting.
3. Breastfeeding: Under normal circumstances, the mother rabbit should be fed milk at least three times a day, with an interval of about eight hours each time. Nutrition should be added to the mother rabbit during the lactation period, such as baby rabbit food, alfalfa, Fresh vegetables and nutrient solutions are necessary. However, many pet rabbits have poor maternal instincts and will not breastfeed until their milk increases. Therefore, do not force the rabbit mother to breastfeed, as it will become very irritable. When feeding, put the baby rabbit into the No. 1 nursing box, and then put the mother rabbit in it, so that the mother rabbit will automatically squat and start breastfeeding, and the baby rabbit will also look for milk on its own. We must keep an eye on the mother rabbit throughout the feeding process, and we can touch her head to comfort the mother rabbit.
