Are rabbits afraid of cold in winter?

Although the rabbit is covered with thick hair, it is necessary to do a good job of cold protection and warmth in winter and prepare a warm and thick rabbit nest for the rabbit. If summer is still a separate rabbit cage, it is absolutely impossible.

If the weather is very cold, you can prepare some hay or a warm and thick cotton pad for Tutu. Of course, hay must be replaced regularly, and cotton pads should be dried, disinfected and kept warm regularly.

In addition to preparing warm rabbit nests for rabbits, special attention should be paid to scientific feeding and palatability of rabbit feed in daily diet. In the cold winter, be careful not to feed some frozen feed or moldy feed to rabbits. You can try to give Tutu some warm water, but it's not hot water.

Matters needing attention in raising rabbits

1, artificial domestication

Rabbits mostly live in mountainous areas and in the wild, and run fast, so it is difficult to catch them manually. Even if they are caught successfully, they will refuse to eat because they are timid, so it is not easy to survive and they cannot be allowed to reproduce. Therefore, the first thing to do in artificial breeding of rabbits is domestication, and artificial breeding can only be carried out after domestication is successful.

2. Environmental sanitation

When breeding, we must first keep the breeding environment clean and hygienic. Rabbits like dry environment and avoid dark, humid and polluted environment. Growing in this environment, rabbits are easily infected with diseases, which can lead to a large number of deaths in severe cases. Therefore, it is necessary to clean rabbit cages and rabbit houses regularly every day, clean excreta and residual bait, clean feeding utensils regularly and take disinfection measures to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and microorganisms.

3. Keep the environment quiet

Rabbits are timid, easily frightened and extremely sensitive. The slightest movement will scare them and affect their growth and development. Therefore, don't scratch or make a loud noise when raising. In addition, farms should stay away from residential areas, expressway and other areas, try to keep the environment quiet, and at the same time pay attention to the harassment of cats, dogs and mice.

4, cooling and heatstroke prevention

The hare itself has underdeveloped sweat glands, and its whole body is covered with thick fur, so it has poor heat dissipation ability and is extremely afraid of heat. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the change of temperature in summer, avoid direct sunlight, and take measures to cool down and prevent heatstroke.

5. Do a good job in feeding management

Rabbits mostly feed on weeds, leaves and other plants, but when raised artificially, the sources of feed are extensive, and vegetables, plant stems and leaves, straws and so on can become their food.

However, when choosing feed, we should not be too single, otherwise, in the long run, a single feed will cause malnutrition symptoms, so the feed must be varied, mainly green feed and juicy feed, with a small amount of granular feed, but also to ensure the freshness of the feed, and do not feed rotten feed.

When feeding, we should follow the principle of regular and quantitative feeding. Less feeding times, better feeding for rabbits, more feeding or sudden change of feed may all cause indigestion for rabbits. Hare Hare is small, lively, has a strong metabolism and needs a lot of water, so we should also pay attention to providing enough clean drinking water when feeding.
