How to raise Rex rabbit kits well? The key is to grasp three critical stages

Ensure a good weaning stage

Young rabbits start eating at 16 days, fed a small amount of easily digestible tender grass, vegetable leaves, etc. At 22 days, begin providing complete-price feed, and feed small amounts frequently. When young rabbits are 28-42 days old and reach a weight of 750 grams, they can be weaned. Use the intermittent weaning method, nursing once every other day, and after the second nursing, no more suckling. After weaning, house them in separate cages according to body weight and sex. Pay attention to preventing heatstroke and cold, and keep the rabbit hutch dry and clean. At the same time, after weaning, inject immune vaccines and administer anti-coccidial drugs to prevent coccidiosis.

Ensure a good feed feeding stage

For newly weaned young rabbits, after weaning, supplement with microecological live bacteria preparations to help them form a normal microbial community as soon as possible. Newly weaned young rabbits should be fed complete compound feed with small volume, easy digestion, and high energy and protein content. Do not suddenly change the feed type or increase the feeding amount; feed small amounts frequently, and avoid feeding too much at one time, which can cause indigestion and lead to diarrhea.

Strictly control the disease prevention and treatment stage

When young rabbits are 20-28 days old, inject Escherichia coli vaccine, then at intervals of about 5 days (depending on weather and rabbit body condition), sequentially inject Clostridium welchii vaccine, Clostridium vaccine, Pasteurella and Bordetella combined vaccine, and around 45 days inject rabbit plague vaccine. Coccidiosis is also one of the main diseases of young rabbits, and anti-coccidial drugs should be widely administered. Onions, garlic, etc. can be added to the feed, and about 0.3 grams of oxytetracycline and sulfonamide drugs can also be added to the feed.
