Do you want to make a nest for rabbits in winter?

The most suitable temperature for rabbits is normal temperature 17 -27 degrees, but if there are newborn rabbits at home for 0-3 months, it must be kept at 25 degrees to avoid death due to temperature loss.

How rabbits keep warm in winter;

Add a nest and spread some grass to keep warm.

Let Tutu exercise and keep his body warm.

Also add a little feed (more than 5) to increase calories, which is the basic way to spend the winter, and you don't have to keep warm too much to avoid losing your natural ability to keep out the cold.

Rabbits already have a very warm [rabbit fur coat], so there is no need to help rabbits who hate wearing clothes get dressed.

The most feared thing in winter is the tuyere. In windy places, the temperature will be lower than in windless places. Therefore, after winter, the cage must be placed indoors and blocked around the tuyere, and wood or grass nests should be added to the cage.

As for whether to use lighting, try to use it when other methods are not enough, because it will disrupt the physiological cycle of animals.

Environmental requirements:

Winter and summer are not suitable for raising rabbits on balconies and terraces. No matter whether your balcony has windows or not, you should be able to feel that the balcony is obviously colder than 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 Tutu more sunshine, which will be warm and kill bacteria and fungi.

Pay attention to five points in rabbit nest layout:

Rabbits are cute, but they are delicate animals. They are not only afraid of cold, heat and humidity. The layout of rabbit's nest is particularly important.

Temperature: Rabbits are temperate animals. The ideal temperature for feeding is 30℃ ~ 32℃. The living environment should be ventilated at room temperature, neither too cold nor too hot.

Humidity, the suitable humidity for raising rabbits is 40 ~ 60%. The mortality rate of rabbits is high in rainy season, and humidity causes rabbits to get sick. The rabbit nest must also be kept dry and ventilated.

Avoid wind, rain and sun. If rabbits are not kept indoors, be careful not to let them stay in the sun for too long (basking in the sun), and don't let them enjoy "rain moisture", which is easy to get sick.

Furniture and electrical appliances, rabbits will naturally chew or chew something to grind their teeth. Furniture, floor mats, wires or curtains may be damaged, so pay special attention to the existence of dangers. Especially electrical appliances and wires. Be careful they will get an electric shock.

Seasonal, heat protection in summer and cold protection in winter. If it is too hot, prepare an electric fan for the rabbit to avoid heatstroke; When winter comes, the considerate owner can cover the rabbit's cage with old clothes and blankets and prepare a yellow light bulb to keep the rabbit warm in winter. But be careful with the light bulb, and it's best to put it outside the cage so as not to burn the rabbit.
