Where does the hare live in winter?

Rabbits usually hide in dead grass in winter. Or in a hole.

Hares like to live in mixed forests with water sources and trees, grassland areas, sandy desert areas, and they especially like to live in thorny poplar forests. Wherever the following three conditions are met, the number of hares is large. , otherwise less.

Hares do not have a fixed habitat, except during the breeding period. He usually leads a wandering life. In spring and summer, they live in dense young forests and shrubs. In autumn and winter, when the grass is withered, hares like to hide in soil lumps or other suitable places.

It uses its front paws to dig a shallow hole to hide in. This kind of hole is about 30 cm long and less than 10 cm deep. It can just put the front and rear limbs in, while the body is exposed outside. The front is shallow and the back is deep. It is shaped like a dustpan, with its back slightly higher than the ground. It is invisible due to its protective color. It can escape when frightened or leave in search of food, which is convenient and fast.

Hare breeding model

1. Enclosure breeding

Enclosure breeding was the first method that people used to preserve hares. The solution that Wildness and Vitality came up with completely mimics the environment in which wild rabbits grow. First of all, everyone should choose a relatively flat place. It doesn't matter if there is a little slope. There must be few snakes and other creatures in this place.

Then start building the fence according to the area you want. This is very demanding for the fence. It must be strong. It is best to build a double layer with barbed wire inside and a layer of wooden railings outside. The lower level of the railing is sealed. Finally, place some rabbit nests for resting and shelter from wind and rain.

2. Indoor cages

Indoor cages are a method that everyone came up with to facilitate management. Everything is done to imitate the breeding of rabbits. This method can improve survival to a certain extent. rate, but the incidence will increase and the quality of its hares will also be lacking. Place the hares in front of each rabbit cage, feed them regularly every day, and carry out scientific management.

The final raised hare will have a dull feeling and lack of agility, and the wholesale appearance will be a little worse. If you plan to fill the price gap with quantity, or there is no suitable local wild breeding environment , this is a good choice.

3. Combination of enclosure and rabbit house

This mode is developed by combining the above two modes and has moderate terrain requirements. The rabbits are raised around the site around the rabbit house, with the rabbit house as the core, so that the rabbits have both an activity venue and a stable resting place. They can be converted to indoor breeding when the weather is bad or in winter.

It is a relatively common mode at present. However, this requires relatively more management time, because both the rabbit house and the enclosure must be cleaned and inspected every day, and every feeding must be checked to see if there are any hares that have not been released from the cage. The workload is also relatively large.

4. Free-range breeding

This is a method developed by some farmers for natural hares, and it is very close to enclosure breeding. First, choose the land, and then build a fence. Don't destroy the flowers, trees, and plants. Instead, you have to plant some vegetables or grass that the rabbits can eat. Some rain-sheltering places can be built in the middle according to the growth position of the trees. There is no need to specially build a rabbit nest.

Allow them to survive and reproduce naturally during breeding, and allow them to develop naturally except when problems arise. Everyone just needs to put in some food occasionally. The number of animals raised in this way should not be too large. If there are too many, the environment cannot be maintained for too long.
