What to Do When a Mother Rabbit's Insufficient Milk Supply After Kindling Affects the Survival Rate of the Kits

    Insufficient milk supply in a mother rabbit after kindling is detrimental to strengthening the kits' constitution and improving their survival rate. The following methods can improve a mother rabbit's insufficient milk supply after kindling, with good milk-stimulating results.  

Mother rabbit

    Pumpkin: Choose a ripe pumpkin with red skin, steam it until cooked, then mix it into concentrated feed and feed it to the rabbits, giving each mother rabbit 0.3—0.4kg per day. Alternatively, take an appropriate amount of raw pumpkin seeds, crush them together with the shells, mix them into a small amount of concentrated feed and feed to the rabbits, 2 times a day for 3-6 consecutive days.

 
    Carrot: Carrot is a high-quality succulent feed for domestic rabbits. When feeding, wash and cut it into fine pieces, and feed each mother rabbit 0.5kg per day.  

    Ixeris denticulata: Ixeris denticulata is rich in multiple vitamins, and domestic rabbits of all ages love to eat it. Select fresh leaves of Ixeris denticulata, wash them and drain the water, and feed each mother rabbit 0.75—1kg per day. 

    Beet: Wash and chop the beet, and feed each mother rabbit 1kg per day. The beet feed should not be left for too long, to prevent the beet from producing nitrate and causing poisoning in the mother rabbit.

 
    Soybean: Soak soybeans in boiling water or cook them until half-cooked, then mix them into the feed and feed to the rabbits, 15-20 beans each time, for many consecutive days, and results will be seen. 

    Glutinous rice: Soak glutinous rice in boiling water, and when the rice has swollen, scoop it out and mix it into the feed to feed the rabbits, giving each mother rabbit 25 grams each time, once a day, which can significantly increase milk production. However, it should not be fed to mother rabbits within 7 days of kindling, to prevent the mother rabbit from producing too much milk. Note that the glutinous rice must not be cooked, to prevent it from sticking to the mouth.  

    Green fodder: Take dandelion, bitter amaranth, sweet potato vines, fresh orange leaves, etc., alone or mixed, and feed an appropriate amount to the mother rabbit, which can increase milk production. 

 
    Soybean cake: Soak soybean cake in water and let the mother rabbit drink it on its own.
