How to tell if a rabbit is suspended animation?
The rabbit will fall to the ground during suspended animation, and then close its eyes, and the limbs will become stiff, and the breathing and heartbeat will temporarily stop, which looks no different from the real death. At this time, the owner does not need to panic too much. You can first wipe some water around the eyes and mouth of the rabbit. If the rabbit is suspended from death, it will wake up soon; if it does not recover after a period of time, it means that the rabbit is really dead. You can also place your finger over the rabbit’s nose. If the rabbit’s nose is still wet and there is hot air flowing out, it means that the rabbit is in a state of suspended animation.
What is the reason for the rabbit’s suspended animation?
Rabbits are naturally timid, so they are easily frightened by surrounding sounds, strangers or new environments. If they are too frightened, they will appear suspended animation. This is that it feels unsafe around it and wants to protect itself by feigning death. Or just being angry with the master, or even being too exciting during the play, there will also be a state of suspended animation.
There is also a situation where the rabbit finds that there are natural enemies nearby or it smells some raptors, and in order to prevent itself from being preyed on by them, the rabbit will also use the state of suspended animation to deceive and avoid natural enemies and raptors. the hunt.
Although rabbits use suspended animation to protect themselves, or to express their dissatisfaction. But the owner should not neglect to observe it or not pay attention to checking their condition. Because the rabbits have too many suspended animations in the same time period, it will have a certain impact on the health of the rabbits, so the owner should take protective measures in daily life, and try to keep the environment around the rabbits as quiet as possible to prevent the rabbits from being startled. If the owner finds that the state of the rabbit is not right, he must take protective measures immediately.
