I. How to wean the baby rabbits
The choice of the time to wean the baby rabbits is very important. Too late is not good for the young rabbits, so to wean the young rabbits, the owner needs to know the best time to wean the young rabbits and the scientific weaning method, and master the most scientific method to ensure the successful weaning of the young rabbits.
Weaning time:
There are two suitable times for weaning rabbits: one is weaning at 28 days of age, and the other is weaning at 42 days of age. If the method used by the owner to breed the rabbits is the frequent breeding method, then all the bred rabbits must be weaned before the 28th day of age, otherwise it will seriously affect the normal delivery of the mother rabbit and the health of the next litter. Non-blood-matched pups are generally best weaned when they are 42 days old, but the actual situation of the pups can also be adjusted appropriately. If the rabbit is weak or stunted, it is necessary to delay the weaning time appropriately.
Weaning method:
There are two methods for weaning rabbits, one is the one-time weaning method , one is the staged weaning method.
The one-time weaning method is aimed at blood-matched pups rather than blood-matched pups, and should be used when the number of pups in the whole litter is small and all pups grow and develop uniformly. The one-time weaning method is to raise the mother rabbit and the young rabbit separately and stop breastfeeding.
Staging weaning method is a method for weaning rabbits when the blood is not matched, the number of rabbits is large, and the growth and development of each rabbit is uneven. It is to let the healthy young rabbits leave the mother rabbit and stop breastfeeding, while the thin young rabbits stay with the mother rabbit for a few more days, eat breast milk for a few more days, and let them wean after their physique is stronger. This method It can reduce the occurrence of the phenomenon of puppy death.
In addition, after a one-time weaning of the pups, there is usually some milk in the udders of the female rabbits. Of course, the owner must have stopped feeding the mother rabbit with concentrated feed at this time, so the secretion of breast milk will not be a lot and will gradually stop.
