What causes miscarriage in female rabbits

People who breed female rabbits are very afraid of miscarriage occurring, because each occurrence not only affects breeding profits but also has a relatively large impact on the female rabbit itself. If this situation really occurs, do not panic. The common causes of miscarriage in female rabbits include the following. Take a look and see whether these causes are responsible, then carry out prevention and control accordingly.

1. Improper medication

Female rabbits tend to have many problems during pregnancy. To ensure the health and growth of the female rabbit, many people may choose to give the female rabbit some drugs that are beneficial to embryonic development, while others feed drugs to prevent disease. When too much medication is used, improper medication occurs, and if these drugs conflict, miscarriage easily occurs. There are also drugs used when the female rabbit becomes ill; when using them, no test was done to see whether the female rabbit would have an adverse reaction. Some drugs are too stimulating to the female rabbit and directly cause miscarriage. Pregnant female rabbits must be given extra attention when medication is used.

2. Improper breeding

Improper breeding can also cause miscarriage later on. On the one hand, this refers to cases where breeders use methods such as inbreeding, which makes the fertilized embryo extremely fragile and highly prone to miscarriage or stillbirth. In other cases, when mating, the female rabbit's physical condition was not fully taken into account, and mating was too frequent or done too many times, damaging its reproductive system and lowering the female rabbit's constitution, so the chance of miscarriage during pregnancy also rose.

3. Excessive stimulation

At this stage, the female rabbit itself will become more irritable and is very easily stimulated by the outside world. Once stimulated by the outside world, the female rabbit easily goes wild, increasing the sense of crisis for the embryo. This is especially obvious when someone approaches. The female rabbit will then run wildly around the entire cage, and the chance of female rabbits directly colliding with each other also rises accordingly. Under such circumstances, the chance of miscarriage naturally becomes higher. If outside noise is frequent for a long time, the chance of miscarriage will be even higher.

4. Rough management

Management at this stage is also a matter that easily goes wrong. To observe the condition of the female rabbit, many breeders choose to pick it up for observation. This behavior is actually not advisable, as it very easily harms the embryo because of the force applied. Second is cleaning and other situations that require close contact with the female rabbit. Human strength and rabbit strength are not on the same level, so naturally rough management and similar situations rise quite noticeably, and this is also a cause that easily leads to miscarriage.

The above are some reasons why female rabbits easily miscarry during pregnancy. Of course, there are many causes of miscarriage, but these are relatively obvious. You can appropriately carry out more reasonable management targeting these situations to reduce the chance of miscarriage.
