1, the harm of overweight rabbits
Obesity in rabbits may increase the probability of arteriosclerosis, fatty liver and other problems, and also increase the pressure on rabbits' spine, making rabbits more prone to spinal joint aging when they are old. If the condition is serious, it will seriously affect the quality of life of elderly rabbits. In addition, if the rabbit is too fat, it is easy to cause rabbit foot dermatitis, because the rabbit's feet are small, the rabbit is too fat, and the pressure on its feet is too great, so it is easy to suffer from foot dermatitis. Especially when rabbits are old, the harm of obesity will be more reflected.
2. The danger that rabbits are too thin.
The thinness of rabbits is also very detrimental to their health. Rabbits that are too thin have lower resistance and are more likely to get sick.
Generally speaking, the common causes of rabbit thinness are: being infected by parasites, eating too little, malnutrition or other diseases. Therefore, pet owners must ensure that the nutritional intake of rabbits is comprehensive and balanced, and regularly deworm rabbits. If the emaciation of rabbits is caused by disease, it needs timely treatment.
Second, how to control the weight of rabbits
To control the weight of rabbits, we must first control their food intake, feed them regularly and quantitatively every day, feed them rabbit feed once in the morning and evening, and only provide pasture and drinking water at other times. Pet owners need to keep rabbits exercising every day. Rabbits should not be kept in rabbit cages all the time. Rabbits always eat and drink in rabbit cages, and it is easy to gain weight without exercise. However, it is best to let rabbits exercise indoors to prevent them from being infected with germs or parasites when they go out, and rabbits are prone to stress due to various factors.
