Are rabbits afraid of cold?

Rabbits are afraid of cold. Too low a temperature will really lead to rabbit death. The suitable temperature for rabbits to survive is about 15-25℃, and the lowest critical temperature for rabbits to survive is 5℃, which means that the temperature below 5℃ is too cold for rabbits, and such a temperature is unfavorable for rabbits to survive. Because the temperature is too low, it will lead to excessive energy consumption and insufficient heat production, leading to death.

First, although the rabbit looks furry, it is also very cold in winter, not to mention snowing. Even the cold weather in southern Ningxia can't stand it.

Secondly, if the weather is not too cold, they can run indoors. When the weather is too cold, find some sawdust and put it in the rabbit's nest (not in the place where you often pee). It would be nice if we could feed 20% more food than in hot weather.

To keep rabbits warm in winter, the rabbit cage should be placed in a sheltered place, and the rabbit cage should be covered with soft and warm cotton pads or medicinal cotton. You can also put a hot water bottle or a special electric blanket for pets at the bottom. When feeding, it is best to feed warm food or once at night to increase the energy needed by rabbits, and at the same time, let rabbits exercise more and strengthen their physique.

Tip:

Rabbits are relatively afraid of cold, so in the case of cold weather in winter, the owner should take warm measures and not trim the hair, otherwise it will reduce the rabbit's ability to keep out the cold, and at the same time let the rabbit bask in the sun for a while every day to enhance its resistance and immunity.

Next, let me talk about what we can do to keep warm.

1. The environment requires that rabbits should not be kept on balconies and terraces in winter and summer. Whether your balcony is sealed or not, you should be able to feel that it is obviously colder on the balcony than in the room. Please move the rabbit and rabbit cage indoors. When the weather is cold, don't put rabbits and rabbit cages in the tuyere, avoid doors and windows and put them in warm rooms, but even in winter, please don't ignore the ventilation problem! In late autumn, winter and early spring, give rabbits more sunshine, which will be warm and kill bacteria and fungi.

It is best to put Tutu in a cage at night and cover it with a blanket or thick cloth. Give a cotton pad or straw pad in the cage. Change the cotton pad frequently to keep the temperature in the cage suitable, dry and comfortable. Turn on the air conditioner and heating, and pay attention to the problem of large temperature difference.

3. Feeding and feeding details

Secondly, when keeping pet rabbits, never feed them with frozen feed or moldy feed. The drinking water of pet rabbits can be replaced by warm water, and at the same time, appropriate feed can be added to pet rabbits at night to enhance their energy. Don't trim the hair of pet rabbits in winter. Hair is a warm coat for pet rabbits. Trimming hair in winter will reduce the cold resistance of pet rabbits. At the same time, when the sunshine is mild, it can strengthen the exercise and exercise of pet rabbits and enhance the body's resistance. Besides, don't bathe Tutu, but be careful of his life.
