What are the symptoms of a rabbit cold? Detailed introduction to prevention and treatment measures
Causes A sudden drop in temperature, or a cold and damp rabbit hutch, can easily trigger a rabbit cold. Clinical symptoms The affected rabbit has a mild cough, sneezes, has clear or thick nasal discharge, difficulty breathing, is listless, has reduced appetite, and an elevated body temperature. If not cared for properly, it can easily lead to secondary pneumonia or hemorrhagic septicemia. Preventive measures Keep the indoor area clean and hygienic. When the temperature changes, be sure to close doors and windows to keep the warmth in. If there is strong wind and a drop in temperature, promptly light a fire in the breeding room to maintain a stable temperature and prevent it from fluctuating up and down. Treatment methods

How Many Times Should a Rabbit Farm Be Disinfected? Master the Correct Disinfection Frequency
The disinfection theory in books says, "Twice a week in summer, once a week in the other seasons." I think this disinfection practice involves too many rounds. The purpose of disinfection is to kill harmful bacteria. My approach is once every half month in summer, and once a month the rest of the time. If you disinfect frequently, the goal is to kill harmful bacteria, but the result is that you kill all the beneficial bacteria too. Also, after we finish disinfecting, we sling the sprayer on our backs and turn around and leave the rabbit shed, leaving the rabbits in their cages reluctantly "inhaling the chemicals," and side effects are very likely to occur. According to what I have learned

What is good to feed rabbits in spring and summer? Don't miss these three treasures
Garlic, dried tangerine peel and chili pepper are common seasonings in home cooking and are known as the "three treasures of the kitchen". Because they contain a variety of nutrients, are non-toxic and have no side effects, do not easily cause harmful residues in livestock products, and also have disease-prevention and therapeutic effects, they are also called the three treasures of pure natural agriculture and forestry breeding. In recent years, the author has used the three treasures in domestic rabbit production and achieved good results. 1. They can increase rabbits' appetite. Adding an appropriate amount of garlic powder, dried tangerine peel powder and chili powder to the feed can mask the unpleasant odor of certain feed ingredients, increase aroma, and improve the feed

What are the emergency rescue methods for frozen kits (baby rabbits)?
Causes of kits freezing: one is that the due date was not recorded properly or the doe kindled early for some reason, and the kindling box was not put in place in advance; another cause is that the doe's maternal instinct is weak, and she kindled outside the box; a further cause is that after nursing, when the doe jumps out of the kindling box, individual kits that are not getting enough milk clamp onto the teat and will not let go, so they are dragged out and become frostbitten because the weather is relatively cold. Regardless of the cause, a frostbitten kit must not be left too long; if its heart is still beating, emergency measures will generally succeed. The methods are as follows: 1. Immerse the kit

Correct Technical Methods for Feeding Rabbits Vegetables
Vegetables have a water content of about 85%, low crude fiber content, and good palatability, so rabbits tend to overeat them. Feeding vegetable leaves to young rabbits under 90 days of age will cause diarrhea in just a few days. If rabbits develop diarrhea after eating vegetables, stop feeding vegetables, increase the feeding of green hay and dry leaves, and mix 2% charcoal powder or 2% medicinal charcoal into the mixed feed or compound feed for treatment. When vegetables are grown in soil heavily fertilized with nitrogen, treated with herbicides, or affected by pests, drought, or insufficient sunlight and turn red, their nitrate content increases. Rabbits overeat vegetable leaves and take in more

Rabbit breeding selection tips: how to choose a rabbit breed
1 Meat-type rabbits. The breeds most commonly raised in China are: New Zealand rabbit, Californian rabbit, Belgian rabbit, and Chinese White rabbit. The basic requirements of meat rabbit production for a breed are fast early growth (body weight should reach more than 2.5 kg by 70-80 days of age), high feed conversion efficiency, good meat production performance, and adult body weight of around 4 kg. The New Zealand rabbit is currently the most widely raised meat rabbit in the world. It originated in the United States and has three populations: the New Zealand White rabbit, New Zealand Red rabbit, and New Zealand Black rabbit. The New Zealand White

Why Do Rabbits Eat Their Own Soft Droppings?
During the raising of domestic rabbits, we can see that the hard fecal pellets they pass are formed through a second round of digestion. Domestic rabbits eat grass and feed during the day, and at night or before dawn they pass soft droppings, and as soon as the soft droppings are passed, the rabbit immediately eats them. Through this second round of digestion and absorption, only the residue is formed into hard fecal pellets and passed out of the body. When domestic rabbits eat the soft droppings they have passed at night, it is not coprophagia caused by a lack of some nutrient in their bodies, but a normal physiological phenomenon. This instinct of domestic rabbits has two major benefits: first, it can keep the rabbit hutch,

Three things to avoid when feeding vegetables to rabbits; rabbit keepers need to know this in advance
First, avoid using vegetables that have been piled up and turned yellow. Feeding rabbits with vegetables that have been piled up and turned yellow will cause nitrite poisoning in rabbits, and in severe cases can lead to death. Therefore, when feeding rabbits with vegetables, always make sure they are fresh, and do not feed too much at a time; it is best to feed them together with other feed. Second, avoid cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables contain sinigrin, which can produce some toxins that promote thyroid enlargement and severely damage the rabbit's liver and kidneys. Third, avoid vegetables damaged by pests. Feeding rabbits with vegetables infested by aphids, cabbage caterpillars, and the like
