How to prevent rabbits from getting sick in summer?

1 living environment

Most rabbits have their own big cages, which are the safest places for them to eat and sleep every day.

Guangzhou is hot and sultry in summer, so we should find a ventilated and cool place for Tutu's big cage.

Step 2 prescribe diet

Due to the sultry climate, rabbits are prone to inactivity, and their appetite will decrease compared with autumn and winter.

At this time, be careful not to feed the rabbit too much food. Food and grass are easy to get wet and deteriorate in hot weather, so try to eat less.

In particular, rabbits need more water in hot season, so be sure to prepare enough drinking water for them, but don't add salt to the water, and don't give them so-called functional drinks that supplement this and that in the market, because rabbits' stomachs are so strong. 3.

Although Tutu wears thick fur coat in summer, don't think it is too afraid of heat. The weather below 26 degrees will basically not feel very sad. But higher temperatures will help it cool down.

You can put a radiator or a big tile in its cage, and it will be much more comfortable for Tutu to lie on it in hot weather.

In addition, you can use a large coke bottle, fill it with tap water and a little salt, freeze it in the refrigerator and put it next to the rabbit cage before going out in the morning. Remember not to put it where rabbits can bite. The ice inside will emit a little cold air during the melting process, which will help reduce the temperature around the rabbit cage.

Salt is added to make it slow down the melting speed and cool down for a long time.

These are more rustic methods.

More modern, you can turn on the electric fan to cool the rabbit, but don't aim the limelight at the rabbit, or the rabbit will catch a cold. You can let the wind blow to the place next to Tutu, and block a wet towel in front of the fan, so as not to blow out the same hot air as the weather.

In addition, we can also put Tutu in an air-conditioned room, but if the air conditioner is blown for a long time, it may reduce Tutu's adaptability to the environment. If he leaves the air-conditioned room and goes to other environments, he may get sick. So don't set the temperature too low when you turn on the air conditioner. If possible, it will be better to drive for an hour or two and turn off the air conditioning and ventilation.

4. Matters needing special attention

1. Don't let tutu bask in the sun at noon in summer. The sun is burning at noon, and Tutu is prone to heatstroke. Sooner or later, the sun is not so poisonous.

2. If you try not to take Bunny out in summer, even Bunny in the outdoor basket will feel uncomfortable because of the climate.

3. Guangzhou is humid and muggy in summer, which is easy to breed bacteria. Pay special attention to the environmental hygiene of rabbits and keep them dry.
