You can't say that food grows fast. You should keep rabbits healthy by eating rabbit food, and eat regularly. Dried fruit slices and cabbage should be eaten once a week. The following is a professional explanation, I hope it will help you. It's some common sense about raising rabbits. An immature rabbit can't eat grass, but eat rabbit food. You can't tell whether it is poisonous or not, and whether it has pesticides. As for food, rabbits are almost entirely herbivores. I like carrots, potatoes, radish leaves and other vegetables very much, as well as Bo Gongying and Plantago. The Japanese market has recently introduced granular artificial feed for rabbits, which has the advantages of balanced nutrition and good tooth hardness. In the future, you can take artificial feed as the staple food, and you can also provide some vegetables or weeds. Today, some people still believe in the superstition that "letting rabbits drink water will kill them immediately", and even pet shops will tell their owners that it is best not to feed rabbits with water. But rabbits, like other animals, will die without drinking water. But because vegetables and weeds containing a lot of water were fed before, the water contained in these foods is enough; If you feed too much water, it will affect your gastrointestinal health and cause diarrhea. Wet cages make rabbits sick easily, which means rabbits can't drink water. If dry feed is the staple food, of course you need to drink water. Rabbit feces are usually hard round black particles, and occasionally soft feces appear. If you don't pay attention to the cage sentence, you may eat these soft excrement immediately. These soft feces contain indigestible plant fibers in food, which are eaten into the stomach again, and after absorbing the nutrients needed by the body, the circular feces are excreted. If you don't eat these feces, some rabbits may die of malnutrition. Rabbits don't eat their own shit because of mental illness like cats and dogs, so don't worry about it. A cage with an average length of about 50-60 cm per side can raise 1-2 free babies. Rat cages, big cages and cat cages sold in the market can be used. When making your own cage, make sure the wood is hard enough to avoid being bitten off. Wooden boards are used at the bottom of the cage to facilitate the discharge of pollution and avoid excessive humidity in the cage. It is best to use barbed wire on the front and side to make the cage have good courage. If it is raised outdoors, the ground is directly used as the ground of the feeding hut, and rabbits may dig holes to escape, so pay special attention. Other rabbits can't stand the heat and humidity. If they are kept outdoors, they should be careful not to put their cages in closed rooms or balconies, so that they will get sunshine when they go out in rainy and hot summer. Raising rabbits is also an important event in the family. For detailed scientific knowledge about rabbits, please refer to the website of the American Rabbit Association. Including the treatment of diseases, novices can also find a lot of detailed information in the essence paste. /rabbit/hrs/ Q: Generally, the life span of rabbits is only a few years, not as long as that of cats and dogs? A: If rabbits live well, it is not a problem to live for six to eight years. Q: Will rabbits bite furniture or wires? A: Because teeth and claws will get longer and longer, you must grind your teeth and teeth from time to time. Rabbits like to chew and crush anything, so you should prevent them from touching anything valuable or dangerous at home. Q: The bunny is cute. The younger you buy, the better? A: Young rabbits are weaned six weeks after birth. In the meantime, they must stay with the mother rabbit and spend another two to three weeks with their identical brothers and sisters. They are more likely to die if they leave the familiar environment prematurely. So it's best to buy young rabbits born at least two months. Q: It's easy to keep a rabbit. It doesn't need exercise or the company of its owner? A: Keeping a pet must provide the most natural conditions. Rabbits not only need nutritious food and clean environment, but also need enough space to exercise regularly. Don't be locked in a cage all day, the owner should spend more time taking care of the place, so as to become a healthy and docile rabbit. Q: Keep a pair of rabbits. They can spend time with each other to avoid boredom? A: For busy owners, keep two lovely rabbits alone for a long time, but avoid raising a male and a female to have a bunch of bunnies. (Rabbits are sexually mature once every four to six months, estrus once every three weeks, giving birth 30 days after pregnancy, giving birth to 6 to 8 rabbits at a time, and getting pregnant again one week after delivery) or raising two males to fight all day (rabbits are very regional, especially mature males). It is ideal to raise a sister with the same baby. Q: Rabbits attack people, even if they are docile? A: Shouting loudly, making noise, roughing it up, or deliberately teasing it will make the rabbit anxious or nervous, and may make it kick around with its hind feet. Q: Do rabbits express their likes and dislikes or needs through tone and body language? A: Rabbits, like humans, have feelings of pain, fear and joy, which can be expressed by voice and body language. For example, if you are frightened, you will step on your leg again or knock and kick continuously, your eyes will open wide and you will run away immediately; When it hurts, it will make a sharp cry; When you feel comfortable being touched, you will stretch your limbs and lie down, or rub it for your master. Q: Just feed carrots to rabbits? A: Feed it once every morning and once every night. You should go to a pet store or feed store to buy granular dry feed, and occasionally feed vegetables and fruits (such as carrot leaves, Chinese cabbage, raw potatoes, spinach, sweet potato slices, apple slices, etc.). ), and hang a special salt block in the rabbit cage for it to lick and supplement minerals. Young rabbits and pregnant female rabbits can supply dry forage as appropriate. After weaning, slowly train rabbits to eat Timothy hay (which is also the staple food of adult rabbits). Q: Don't feed rabbits with water, lest they grow too big? Answer: Water bottles must be hung at all times to provide enough drinking water. If you want to raise rabbits, you should choose short varieties when you buy them; But some businessmen mix the so-called mini rabbits with unweaned young rabbits. In fact, what really fascinates you with rabbits is very expensive and rare. Q: Do rabbits get sick easily if they don't take good care of them? A: Diarrhea, constipation, internal parasites, respiratory diseases, skin diseases, heatstroke, fractures or eye inflammation are all common diseases. Besides paying attention to daily care, we should also find a veterinarian who can diagnose and treat rabbit diseases as soon as possible. 1. Complaining is usually about the behavior of the owner or another rabbit. The cooing represents that the rabbit is very dissatisfied and angry. Just like rabbits don't like being held and touched, they will complain. If you don't stop that behavior, you may be bitten! 2. The sound of the jet plane means that the rabbit feels threatened by something or some behavior. If your action makes the rabbit feel threatened, if you don't stop that action, you may be bitten. 3. Scream The screams of rabbits, like human beings, usually represent fear or pain. If you suddenly hear a rabbit screaming, the owner should pay more attention at once, because maybe the rabbit is injured. 4. grinding your teeth loudly means that the rabbit feels pain. You'd better take the rabbit to the vet. B. gently grinding your teeth means that the rabbit is very satisfied and happy. When the rabbit gently grinds its teeth, if you reach out and touch the rabbit's chin, you can feel the grinding of the teeth. At this time, the rabbit's eyes are usually half open. When the rabbit cackles, it means pain. At this time, rabbits usually bend up and sit with their ears pressed back. Rabbits purr like cats. They purr when they are satisfied. But the difference between rabbits and cats is that cats make sounds with their throats, while rabbits make sounds with their teeth. 7. One rabbit usually hisses at another rabbit. The hiss is a warning to fight back, mainly to tell another rabbit not to come over, or it will attack. 8. The sound of estrus is different from cooing. The call of estrus is a deep, heavy and regular call. Generally, the male rabbit will make this cry when chasing the female rabbit. Sterilization can reduce this estrus behavior, but it can't completely eliminate it. After sterilization, the male rabbit will still chase the female rabbit. 9. Turn around When the rabbit becomes an adult, it is possible for the rabbit to turn around. Turning in circles is a courtship behavior, and sometimes purrs at the same time. Usually, courtship in circles begins, which means the rabbit should be neutered. Turning around may also mean wanting attention or asking for food. 10. When the jumping rabbit is happy, it will jump in the same place and slightly reverse in mid-air. Sometimes rabbits shake their heads when they jump. When they dance, it's like dancing. Especially dwarfs/mini rabbits, they prefer to express their happiness and enjoyment by jumping. 1 1. Let's go. Some rabbits don't like people touching their things. When the owner cleans the cage and changes the food plate, the rabbit may jump on it. This means that he doesn't like it, and jumping on it is an attack. 12. stand on tiptoe when the rabbit stands on tiptoe, it indicates a warning. They will keep this action until the danger passes, which can last for a few seconds to a few minutes. When the rabbit is angry, it may also stand on tiptoe, which also means warning. When rabbits are afraid, they stamp their feet with their hind legs. In the wild, when the enemy approaches, the rabbit will stamp its hind legs to inform its companions of the danger. 14. Sleeping on the side The rabbit sleeps on the side and stretches its legs to show a sense of security. If the master doesn't disturb him, the rabbit may fall asleep soon. 15. Keep your body down. When the rabbit tries to keep its body down, it means that it is nervous and feels dangerous to approach it. In the wild, when rabbits feel close to danger, they will try to lower their bodies to avoid being seen. And pet rabbits will also have this behavior. 16. Squatting down is not the same as lowering your body. When squatting down, the rabbit's muscles are relaxed, which is a manifestation of feeling relaxed. 17. Lying on the ground, reflecting, indicates that the rabbit is in a good mood and feels very comfortable. 18. Push your hand away. The rabbit pushes your hand away, which means he thinks it's finished. Tell the host to mind his business. 19. Put your nose and body close to the cage to show that you are begging for something or treatment. For example, the rabbit wants to eat snacks and wants his master to let him out. 20. Chewing is in the world of rabbits, which means "OK, I've had enough!" ".They will use a bite to tell their master to stop the present action. 2 1. Lick your hand. In the rabbit's body language, lick your hand to express your gratitude. If your rabbit licks your hand, it means he wants to say thank you! 22. twitching the tail twitching the tail is a sign of picking the skin, just like a human tongue. Usually rabbits twitch their tails back and forth when jumping. For example, if the owner wants to catch the rabbit back to the cage, the rabbit suddenly jumps up and twitches its tail at the same time, which means "you won't catch me". 23. Wipe things with the chin Because the position of the rabbit's chin is fragrant, the rabbit will wipe things with the chin and leave its own smell to divide the territory. Humans can't smell this smell, but rabbits know it. 24. Adult male rabbits that have not been sterilized may have the behavior of peeing. Peeping is a way to divide the territory and occupy the mother rabbit in the rabbit world. Female rabbits may also have the behavior of spitting urine, but mainly male rabbits have more such behavior. 25. Rabbits who shit everywhere generally shit a lot somewhere. If rabbits defecate in different places, it is actually an act of territorial demarcation. 26. The day before they give birth, female rabbits pluck their hair. They pluck hair from their chests and feet and use the plucked hair to build nests to keep rabbits warm. Rabbits will pluck their hair if they are pregnant. Food, rabbits are almost entirely herbivores. I like carrots, potatoes, radish leaves and other vegetables very much, as well as Bo Gongying and Plantago.

If they are kept outdoors, they should be careful not to put their cages in closed rooms or balconies, so that they will get sunshine when they go out in rainy and hot summer. The rabbit is sexually mature about 8 months after birth, and when the mother rabbit is agitated, it is a sign of estrus. After mating, the male rabbit will scream and fall into a coma. The female rabbit should be separated from the male rabbit after pregnancy. Spread straw or other hay in the cage, enclose the cage with cloth, and try not to touch it, so that the mother rabbit can be quiet and stable. The mother rabbit will make a nest out of the belly hair. From pregnancy to delivery, the female rabbit will become very neurotic and overexposed. A mother rabbit may bite her master or kill her own baby rabbit. A fetus can give birth to 5-6 rabbits. When food or drinking water is insufficient, the mother rabbit may eat the rabbit, so the amount provided should be slightly more than usual. After about 30 days, the rabbit can leave the nest. At this time, the rabbit can be allowed to leave the mother rabbit and fed with bread and soft vegetables soaked in milk, which is easy to tame. If care is difficult, rabbits can be separated from the mother rabbits when they can eat the food of adult rabbits.
