How to identify the early symptoms of sick rabbits, teaching you to spot them early
Rex rabbits have delicate bodies and are sensitive to external conditions, with the characteristics of sudden onset, rapid death, and rapid recovery with timely treatment. Since rabbits often fall ill at night, feeding them in the morning is the time to observe cage by cage and litter by litter, making it easiest to identify suspicious sick rabbits.

Etiological Analysis of Moldy Forage Poisoning in Rabbits During the Rainy Season
Entering the rainy and humid season, especially in the month, readers from various places call frequently for consultation, rabbit diseases occur frequently, and losses are continuous. The symptoms are mainly listlessness, trembling, paralysis, limpness, drooling, diarrhea, and so on. The disease looks similar to heatstroke, and before death it also resembles coccidiosis. However, comprehensive analysis shows that it is actually caused by mold poisoning. Because the onset is acute, death is fast, losses are heavy, and the scope of danger is wide, this article is written as a warning. 1. Etiological analysis: In the month, with abundant rain, high temperature, and muggy humidity, if forage is stored improperly, it is very easy to heat up, ferment, and become moldy, producing fungal toxins, especially aflatoxin.

Symptoms and Prevention and Treatment Methods of Bordetella bronchiseptica Infection in Rabbits
[Pathogen] Bordetella bronchiseptica, an oval to rod-shaped pleomorphic small bacillus, Gram-negative, often showing bipolar staining. [Epidemiological characteristics] This disease occurs mostly in spring and autumn when the climate changes easily, and infection mainly occurs through the respiratory tract. The pathogen often parasitizes the respiratory tract of domestic rabbits, so when the body's resistance is reduced due to factors such as sudden climate changes, colds, and parasitic diseases, or when other predisposing factors such as dust and strong irritating gases make the upper respiratory tract mucosa vulnerable, the disease is easily triggered. The rhinitis type is often endemic

How can female rabbits produce more offspring? Sharing practical methods
Producing more female rabbits is an effective way to improve breeding efficiency. So how can you get more female rabbits? Relevant research shows that the mating time of the female rabbit is the key to determining the sex of the future kits. Experience shows that when a male rabbit that has already mated the previous day is mated with a female rabbit on the 2nd day of estrus, most of the kits born are female rabbits; if a male rabbit that has not mated within the 3rd day is mated with a female rabbit on the 3rd day of estrus, most of the kits born are male rabbits. Experiments show that with the former mating method, 9 litters of kits were produced, with 68 surviving, of which 57 were female rabbits
