In the Arctic regions of North America, the snowshoe hare is relatively common, while in the south the California hare, prairie hare and other species are relatively common.</p><p></p><p>Hares feed on wild grasses, leaves and other plants. In captive breeding, feed sources are wide-ranging; all kinds of pasture grass, green vegetables, straw and so on can be used for feeding. Generally, green feed and succulent feed are given in the morning and at midday, and green feed plus a small amount of pelleted feed in the evening. </p><p>Wild green grass, most tree leaves and crop by-products are important sources of green feed for hares. According to the feeding characteristics of green feed, it can be divided into three major categories.</p><p>1. Staple category</p><p> 1) Tree leaves: mainly mulberry leaves, willow leaves, alder leaves, black locust leaves, redbud leaves, tree-of-heaven leaves, and white poplar leaves.</p><p> 2) Wild weeds: in summer and autumn there are grass-family green grasses such as brome, foxtail grass, Kentucky bluegrass, oats, barnyard grass, thatch grass and bamboo, as well as field weeds such as field wormwood, groundsel and water dropwort; in winter and spring there are shortawn foxtail, limpograss, thatch grass and wild oat grass, etc.</p><p> 3) Vegetable by-products: all kinds of melon leaves, bean leaves, carrot leaves, lettuce leaves, green vegetable leaves, Chinese cabbage leaves, etc.</p><p> 4) Crop by-products: sweet potato vines, corn leaves, sorghum leaves, broad bean leaves, peanut vines, pea vines.</p><p>2.

Non-beneficial category</p><p>Tests and practice have shown that some green grasses and wild vegetables cannot be used to feed hares, so as to avoid poisoning and death.</p><p> 1) Under no circumstances should the following toxic green grasses and wild vegetables be fed: potato vines, tomato vines, larch, globeflower, Chinese pulsatilla, deciduous azalea, wild ginger, larkspur, castor bean, ragwort, monkshood, black henbane, white henbane, belladonna, water taro, harmel, datura flower, wild grape vine, langdu, etc.</p><p> 2) Some green grasses and green vegetables, when fed to rabbits at a certain stage of growth and development, can easily cause poisoning. For example: yellow and white flower grass, and osmanthus are toxic when in bud and flowering, and must not be fed to rabbits; buckwheat and wild rape are toxic when flowering, and must not be fed to rabbits; flax is toxic when the seeds and stems are mature, and must not be fed to rabbits; feeding potato sprouts to rabbits easily causes poisoning.</p><p> 3) For lactating female hares, after eating colchicum, wet forest grass anemone, medicinal hound's tongue, wood sorrel, wild onion, stinking chamomile, arcuate rock cress, reed, tansy and poison hemlock, the milk carries an unpleasant odor, and the young rabbits will be poisoned after nursing.</p><p> 4) Corn seedlings, sorghum seedlings, potato leaves (containing solanine), castor leaves (containing ricin), and second-growth sorghum seedlings that regrow after autumn also must not be fed to rabbits.</p><p>4. Unusable category</p><p> 1) Moldy and spoiled feed.</p><p> 2) Forage carrying mud, dust or sharp thorns.</p><p> 3) Vegetables, tree leaves and green grasses that have been sprayed with pesticides, while the efficacy period has not expired.</p><p>4) Feed carrying rainwater, dew or frost.</p><p>5) Feed contaminated by feces or urine.</p><p>6) Sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes with black spot disease.</p><p>7) Legume feed that has not been steamed, boiled or roasted.</p><p>8) Large amounts of forage such as Swiss chard, spinach and Chinese milk vetch.</p>
