Ten "never feed" principles that must be strictly followed in rabbit keeping
When keeping rabbits, you must strictly follow the ten "never feed" rules!
When keeping rabbits, you must strictly follow the ten "never feed" rules!
(1) Do not feed grass covered with dew;
(2) Do not feed rotting or spoiled feed, forage, or vegetables;
(3) Do not feed grass or feed that has soil on it;
(4) Do not feed feed or grass that carries insect eggs or has been contaminated by feces;
(5) Do not feed feed with an off odor;
(6) Do not feed toxic grass;
(7) Do not feed grass or feed that carries pesticide;
(8) Do not feed grass or feed contaminated by chemicals;
(9) Do not feed frozen feed;
(10) Feed that has been washed with water or exposed to rain must not be fed immediately
When washing leafy greens, be sure to soak the whole vegetable in water, not cut it up first and then put it in water, or some water-soluble vitamins will be lost, and then the rabbit will only be eating the fiber of the greens. Before feeding, please wipe the water off the washed and soaked vegetables completely dry before feeding them to the rabbit, otherwise it will cause diarrhea in the rabbit
Once a rabbit's diarrhea becomes severe, it can lead directly to death, so be extremely careful
Foods that rabbits like
* Vegetables
Carrots, sweet potatoes, cabbage (head cabbage), cucumbers, radish leaves, pumpkin, leafy greens. When feeding vegetables, they must be washed and drained of water before feeding.
* Fruits
Oranges, bananas, grapes, apples, strawberries. When feeding fruit, appropriately reduce the rabbit's drinking water to regulate moisture intake.
* Green grass
Shepherd's purse, plantain (picture), dandelion, chickweed
* Other foods
Okara, bread
Be careful not to feed it strongly irritating things
Rabbits living with people will, like cats and dogs, also be interested in all kinds of food that people eat. Some rabbit keepers think they are showing love and also feed them some foods unsuitable for rabbits, such as ice cream, fried noodles, ramen, snacks, roast meat, beef patties, and so on.
* Of course, this does not mean that a rabbit will die immediately after eating these things. It is originally a herbivore that forages for green grass and wild vegetables in the mountains. If it accidentally eats fried noodles, then the seasonings that people find tasty in fried noodles, such as various sauces and spicy seasonings, are too irritating for it.
Foods to be careful about
If corn and peanuts are not fresh, they easily produce a toxic substance from Aspergillus flavus, so only fresh ones may be fed to it. In addition, potato sprouts contain toxins, so special care should be taken.
* Foods that must not be fed
Strongly irritating vegetables are not suitable for feeding rabbits, such as onions, chives, garlic, and so on. In addition, chocolate easily causes food poisoning, so feeding it should be absolutely avoided
