The pet rabbits we see in the market mainly include lop-eared rabbits, lion rabbits, crabapple rabbits, long-haired rabbits, etc. Their average lifespan is more than 10 years. If they are well raised, pet rabbits can live for about 12 years. From this point of view, the lifespan of rabbits is relatively long, but in real life, there are very few pets. Rabbits can live so long, is the pet owner not loving enough for pet rabbits? No, otherwise they wouldn’t raise them, and I believe that many pet owners will feel very sad when they lose their pet rabbits. The main reason is the lack of expertise in raising rabbits. So how to avoid the death of pet rabbits due to improper feeding? Such as:
1. The water for pet rabbits should be clean, and tap water must not be supplied to it. Rabbits cause harm, and the owner should supply water according to the weight of their own rabbits. The owner can usually prepare a drinking water bottle
for the rabbit, which can be filled with boiled water after cooling, so that the rabbit can drink freely, and provide and replace the water for the rabbit in time to ensure that the drinking water is clean. , to ensure the health of rabbits.
2. The tableware and other supplies for pet rabbits must be disinfected regularly, and the rabbit house must be cleaned regularly. Keep the rabbit’s living environment clean and hygienic, and also need to keep it ventilated and dry.
3. Use fresh hay as the rabbit’s staple food. Wash the fresh grass thoroughly and dry it before feeding it to pet rabbits. Do not use vegetable leaves instead of hay for feeding. Rabbits should not eat too many vegetables. Otherwise, it will easily lead to diarrhea and even more serious diseases. Usually, the owner can prepare some sun-dried alfalfa in advance, and pay attention to storage.
4. Try not to bathe pet rabbits. Pet rabbits rarely go out and are generally not particularly dirty. Don’t bathe them if they can, and don’t rinse their ears with water when bathing. If it is a juvenile rabbit, you must not bathe it, because its resistance to disease is very poor, and it is easy to lose its life in the process of bathing. In addition, when the owner releases the pet rabbit for ventilation, he should pay attention to whether there are cats or dogs around to prevent the pet rabbit from being harmed.
