Habits of rabbits
A rabbit is timid Its most prominent character trait is that they are always easily frightened by some sudden noises, and when they see strangers or strange animals approaching, they are also very afraid and nervous. It is very scary for rabbits to panic, and may even die due to severe stress, so raising rabbits must provide it with a quiet and comfortable living environment. The living habits of rabbits are summarized as follows:
1. Quiet during the day and active at night. The living habits of rabbits are very similar to those of mice. Rabbits spend most of the day sleeping quietly in their cages and eat very little or very little; but at night they become very active and eat profusely. The feed intake of rabbits at night accounts for more than 70% of its all-day feed intake.
2. Cowardly. Rabbits are very timid animals, pet owners must be deeply aware of this, usually pay attention to giving rabbits a quiet and comfortable living environment, try to avoid rabbits being frightened, so as not to cause stress or death of rabbits because of being frightened. If you have other animals in the house, be sure to keep them separate from the rabbit.
3, like a dry living environment. Rabbits cannot live in a hot and humid environment. Due to their underdeveloped sweat glands, rabbits can only rely on breathing to dissipate heat. Therefore, if they are in a high temperature and humid environment for a long time, it is easy to cause them to die in large numbers. Experiments have proved that the ideal living environment for adult rabbits is 14~20℃, and the ideal temperature for newborn rabbits to live in the nest is 30~32℃. In addition, keeping the living environment of rabbits dry and clean is very important for their health. . In fact, rabbits are also very hygienic. They often use their front paws to “wash their faces”, and they also eat, excrete and sleep in a fixed place every day. If it is found that the rabbit’s anus, mouth or nose is not clean, it is very likely that the rabbit is sick. The pet owner must pay attention to this, find out the cause and treat it as soon as possible.
4. Like to live alone. Rabbits like to burrow and live alone under natural conditions, and they usually only stay together during the mating season. Whether it is a rabbit of the same sex or a rabbit of the opposite sex, they will often fight, cause trauma, or even bite off the ears or testicles of a rabbit, so the pet should pay attention to no matter how many rabbits are kept. , all rabbits must be kept in single cages.
5, like to eat. The front teeth of rabbits are permanent teeth and will continue to grow, so rabbits usually like to chew on wear-resistant things to grind their teeth. If the pet owner provides the rabbit with soft feed for a long time, the rabbit will naturally gnaw on other items such as wooden cages to prevent the teeth from growing too long. Therefore, pet owners who raise rabbits should pay attention to regularly putting some branches and other things that can be used for rabbits to grind their teeth into the cage.
6. I like vegetarian food. Rabbits are herbivorous animals and like to eat fresh grass and vegetables such as carrots. Some people think that it is okay to give rabbits a little meat, but this often causes them to have digestive problems, so there is no need to do this, so as not to affect the health of the rabbit.
