1. What do pet rabbits eat?
1. Carrots and vegetables may be the favorite foods of pet rabbits, but why do many parents feed carrots and vegetables, pet rabbits will have diarrhea, and even have diarrhea? Dehydration to death. This phenomenon is because the owner does not dry the water after washing the carrots and vegetables, and directly feeds the food with moisture to the pet rabbit, which will cause the pet rabbit to have diarrhea and illness, so the owner must pay attention to this. Secondly, the food itself may be unsanitary, and the owner should always pay attention. Of course, carrots and vegetables are also the best food for rabbits. Not only do rabbits love to eat them, but the food contains vitamin C, which can meet the growth and nutritional needs of pet rabbits.

1. Breeding space
Rabbit’s character and Cats are similar and like to be independent, but sometimes they like to stick to their owners and are more afraid of being alone. In all the breeding process, let him move freely as much as possible, not limited to a small space, which is conducive to a more cheerful personality and a longer life span of the pet rabbit. If you choose a cage for raising, the editor recommends that the owner can buy a larger cage, so that even if the rabbit grows up, it can be used. In the cage, wood needs to be placed for him to grind his teeth, and a food bowl should be placed.
2. Feeding methods
Wrong feeding methods can lead to stunted growth and even death of pet rabbits. Many rabbit vendors tell parents that rabbits Only eat radish greens, no need to feed water. In fact, this is unscientific. There are many foods for rabbits, but their favorite foods are low radish and green vegetables. The owner can appropriately change other food for the rabbit, such as hay, remember that the rabbit cannot eat fruit. Life is inseparable from water, and of course rabbits are no exception; rabbits need cold boiled water, remember not to drink tap water, otherwise it will cause E. coli outbreaks.
3. Keeping hygiene
Rabbits are very clean animals, and they will bathe themselves. What the owner needs to pay attention to is to ensure that the cage is clean and cleaned regularly; in order to prevent urine odor, pet diapers or deodorizing wood pellets can be placed in the cage. Secondly, dietary hygiene is also very critical. Expired and rotten food is absolutely impossible to deal with.
