The weather is cold, and many rabbits have caught a cold. How to keep rabbits warm?

Rabbits are afraid of heat. Because of the lack of sweat glands, there are only a few sweat glands in the mouth and groin, and the hair is thick and cannot dissipate heat through the skin. They regulate body temperature mainly through ears, breathing and excretion. When the temperature reaches above 30 degrees, they will increase the number of breaths. Adult rabbits are not afraid of heat or cold, and young rabbits need to pay special attention to keep warm and keep out the cold because of their incomplete thermoregulation function.

● Rabbits are herbivores of Nocturnal Animals and are used to eating in the morning and evening.

● Rabbits have small vital capacity. When the temperature is high and they are nervous, their noses will move badly and they will be short of breath.

● Rabbits are prone to fracture. Don't put the rabbit on a high place, lest it fall down accidentally.

● Don't grab the rabbit hard, lest the rabbit struggle and get hurt.

● Rabbits are territorial and will mark their own territory.

● Rabbits can't spit out the contents of their stomachs, so what they eat can't be excreted, which will block the intestines. In severe cases, they must undergo surgery to get rid of foreign bodies.

● Rabbits are very sensitive and prone to mental stress, including: environmental changes, noise, climate change, sudden changes in food, illness, injury and fright. The addition of new rabbits may lead to refusal to eat or abnormality and illness! So try not to disturb Tutu at ordinary times, and strengthen Tutu's adaptability. For example, Tutu, accustomed to the sound of hair dryer, is not afraid of the sound of hair dryer!

● Bunny has the habit of chewing and digging. Be sure to provide Bunny with molar items, and be careful not to let Bunny chew wires and furniture!

Rabbits will eat their own feces, because rabbits have a large spiral cecum, which is rich in intestinal flora and can make necessary nutrients and vitamins for rabbits. The soft feces discharged, called cecal feces or nocturnal feces, contain protein, vitamin B group and intestinal beneficial bacteria, so rabbits will eat it, which is a necessary normal behavior! Please don't stop!

Special attention should be paid to:

1. The living environment of rabbits should be sanitary, dry and ventilated. If the environment is wet and unsanitary, it is easy to breed bacteria and cause skin diseases in rabbits.

2. It is suggested that as soon as the young rabbit is bought back, don't give it a name in a hurry, but give it coccidiosis medicine to prevent coccidiosis. Coccidiosis occurred in the acute stage, and young rabbits mostly died of coccidia, followed by diarrhea.

3. If the cage where the young rabbit lives is a dog cage, wooden boards should be added to the cage. If you don't add pads for a long time, you will get foot dermatitis, which is difficult to treat.

4. If the rabbit eats vegetables and causes diarrhea, give it 4 pieces of lactase in time. If there is no lactase at home, you can also feed lactic acid bacteria tablets and probiotics (the amount of lactic acid bacteria tablets and probiotics for your baby);

Rabbit's teeth are infinitely long, so we should prepare a grinding stick for it. Some rabbits like to bite wires and the like, so pay attention;

6. Rabbit supplies should be cleaned and disinfected regularly;

7. Rabbits raised in cages should keep the activity above 1 hour every day;

8. If you are afraid of rabbits, you can teach them to go to the toilet. It should be cleaned every day. If it is not cleaned, it will produce nitrogen after a long time;

9. Don't give it a bath. Rabbits like to be clean. They lick their hair every day. It is not recommended to bathe it. But if you don't have to take a bath, you should take it when the weather is clear and sunny to avoid water entering your ears. If you don't pay attention, it will get otitis media. You can't give it shower gel and soap. Dry it immediately after taking a shower, or it will.

10. Rabbits are not full, so we should control their food intake to avoid death.

1 1. Rabbits can't eat too much starch, which is not good for rabbits.

12. Never scratch a rabbit's ear. Ears are important organs of rabbits. Rabbits have no sweat glands, so they must be used to dissipate heat. Rabbits' ears are not scratched by people. If the rabbit ear is scratched and causes nerve damage, it will make the rabbit ear unable to stand upright and rotate. The correct way to catch a rabbit should be to hold the rabbit's back with one hand and the rabbit's ass with the other.
