What are the living habits and characteristics of rabbits?

Life habits and characteristics:

1. Nocturnal: they lie in cages during the day and jump and run more at night, constantly eating and drinking. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure food and water feeding. It is best to feed once in the evening. Feeding should be done regularly and quantitatively.

2. Depression: Rabbits can also suffer from depression, so they must be let out to play for 1-2 hours every day. If you can't always accompany your rabbit, you can give your rabbit some toys to ease its mood.

3. Like dryness and hate wetness: Rabbits are small animals that like dryness and are afraid of wetness. Keep it in a dry place and clean it frequently. When the weather is nice, you might as well go to the balcony to bask in the sun. Don't bask in the sun at noon, as you may suffer from heatstroke. Don't stay in the sun for too long. It's best to have some shade, which will strengthen their bones.

4. Rabbits like to eat grass: Generally, rabbits raised at home should pay attention to the provision of food, because young rabbits do not feel full. It is not recommended to give vegetables to young rabbits because they are prone to enteritis. They can only be provided appropriately after adults. Rabbits are divided into young rabbits and adult rabbits. They are fed in the morning and evening, twice a day.

5. Cold-resistant and afraid of heat: Rabbits have a certain degree of cold tolerance, but are afraid of heat. Be sure to feed more water in summer and keep the place ventilated. If it is an unweaned rabbit, if it drinks enough mother's milk, you can slowly introduce some alfalfa, timus, and rabbit food after 20 days.

6. Hates hot and humid conditions and likes dry environments: Rabbits have underdeveloped sweat glands and mainly rely on breathing to dissipate heat. Therefore, long-term exposure to high temperature (above 35°C) and humid environments will cause a large number of deaths. Experiments have shown that the ideal ambient temperature for adult rabbits is 14-20°C, and the temperature in the nest of newborn rabbits is 30-32°C. Dryness and cleanliness are very beneficial to the health of rabbits. Rabbits are also very particular about hygiene. They often use their front paws to "wash their face" and maintain three points of eating, defecating, urinating and salivating.

Basic characteristics of rabbits: In terms of body shape, they can be divided into large rabbits, medium rabbits and small rabbits. The weight of large rabbits is about 5 to 8 kg (there are also a few exceeding 8 kg), and the weight of medium rabbits is about 5 to 8 kg. The weight of rabbits is about 2 to 4 kilograms, and that of small rabbits is about less than 2 kilograms. Generally speaking, the body of a rabbit can be divided into four parts: head and neck, trunk, limbs and tail. Body surface: coat, which has a thermal insulation effect. Coat color: Mostly white, black, gray, off-white, taupe, yellow-gray, light khaki, and some with flowers. Rabbit Teeth Incisors: Suitable for cutting food. Molars: Used for grinding food. The rabbit's tail is short and fluffy. It rolls up like a ball and is very cute. Movement method: hopping. The rabbit’s forelimbs are shorter than its hind limbs, which is advantageous for jumping.
