Is it really necessary to clean rabbit droppings once every day?
Teacher Xu Shangjin, a skilled rabbit raiser in Heilongjiang, said that he found that rabbit droppings have a thin film on the outside. About ten minutes after the droppings fall onto the dropping board, this thin film dries, and if it is not broken, the droppings do not smell or give off odor! If the system of cleaning droppings once every day is insisted on, it will inevitably cause the droppings to break and give off a foul smell and odor. In addition, it also shows that cleaning droppings in the rabbit house every day will inevitably affect the rest of the rabbit herd. If the rabbits do not rest well, they will not grow well.

Four key points to note when introducing pet rabbits
As the pet rabbit market grows increasingly prosperous, more and more people are introducing pet rabbits, but all kinds of problems have emerged along with this. Some people spend a lot of money to buy so-called pet rabbit breeding stock, only to find that when the breeding season arrives, the rabbits do not come into heat; after inquiring carefully, they learn that the rabbits have been sterilized and simply cannot reproduce, wasting more than half a year for nothing.
