Be mindful of what you eat.

First of all, prepare a ventilated and sheltered living environment for them, preferably in a cage, and the rabbit's excrement should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to avoid the growth of bacteria. Usually feed rabbit food and alfalfa grass can be, rabbit food is mainly alfalfa grass supplemented, drinking water should also pay attention to clean and hygienic, preferably pure water, 2-3 days did not drink if you should also change the water in time.

1. Pay attention to appropriate activities to enhance the physique of young rabbits.

Young rabbits are in the long body period, very active, but also especially like the sun, therefore, to make the young rabbit every day a certain amount of exercise time. In spring and autumn, the cage is released in the morning and returned to the cage in the evening; In winter, the cage is released at noon and returned to the cage before the evening feeding; In the summer, the cage is released at dawn and returned at sunrise. The place of activity should not only have sunlight to avoid scabies caused by moisture, but also shade and prevent heat stroke.

In general, the size of the sports field is suitable for 2 young rabbits per square meter. The size of the young rabbit should be basically the same, if the size of the individual is very different, it is necessary to separate activities to avoid fighting, resulting in **.

2. Drink water correctly to promote metabolism.

In the practice of rabbit production, some rabbit farmers mistakenly believe that rabbits do not need drinking water, and even say that rabbits will have diarrhea when drinking water. In fact, rabbits are very sensitive to water, if the water is not enough, so that the body water is reduced to 8% 10%, there will be loss of appetite, digestive obstruction and other phenomena, these will affect the normal development of young rabbits, and due to dry mucous membranes, it will also reduce the resistance of young rabbits to infectious diseases. When more than 20% of the body loses water, it can cause death.

This kind of death due to lack of water is especially common in the summer. As for the diarrhea caused by young rabbits drinking water, it is caused by improper drinking methods, some people do not let young rabbits drink water for a long time, and occasionally give a lot of water at a time, so that they overdrink, which causes digestive disorders and diarrhea.

The correct way to drink water is: to make the young rabbit can have water to drink at any time, generally per kilogram of body weight per day and night to give clean drinking water. If the feed is green feed with a large water content, the water intake can be appropriately reduced.

3. Adhere to a reasonable supply of salt to improve the appetite of young rabbits.

Salt is an indispensable nutrient for the growth and development of rabbits, especially weaned young rabbits, salt grams are needed every day and night, if the diet lacks salt, the appetite of rabbits will decline significantly, and its disease resistance will also weaken, resulting in stunted growth of young rabbits, easy to get sick and die.

Therefore, it is better to feed salt to weaned rabbits frequently, and it is better to add salt to the compound feed of young rabbits.

4. Implement scientific feeding.

Because weaned young rabbits have just been weaned from breast milk, the living conditions have changed a lot, at this time the gastrointestinal digestion of young rabbits is still very weak, if you eat hard, indigestible food will be bloated and die. In particular, the young rabbit weighing about 1 kg is still in the teething stage, the root of the tooth is itchy, and I don't know how hungry and full, the amount of food can not be controlled, it is easy to cause a thin neck and a large belly, and in severe cases, the belly can be distended and died, which is also a major reason for the high mortality rate of weaned young rabbits.

To this end, in the management of feeding, we should not only pay attention to hygiene, but also pay attention to feeding fresh, digestible, high nutritional value of fine and green feed, concentrate is best cooked food, feed concentrate 2 times a day, green feed 3 times, take less feeding and add frequently, do not eat too much.

There is a rabbit baby, at home you need a rabbit cage, in the rabbit in the cage to feed and eat can be, every day need to feed basically vegetable leaves, radish, and wild vegetables, these are rabbits like to eat.

Feed less vegetables with high water content such as cabbage, fruits, etc. If you feed the grass, you don't need to give water to the rabbit to eat, be careful of its diarrhea, feed it dry feed to give it water to eat, I wish you a happy rabbit!
