How to raise Dutch rabbits

The Dutch rabbit, a pet rabbit with a standard weight of 3.5 Mel 5.5 pounds, is the smaller breed of medium-sized rabbits and is fed in many families. So, how to raise Dutch rabbits?

First, how to raise Dutch rabbits?

When raising Dutch rabbits, the temperature of the rabbit nest should be 25-30 ℃ and the relative humidity should be controlled at 40-60%. The food trough and sink should be regularly disinfected and kept clean and hygienic, and feces should be cleaned and cleaned every week. When feeding rabbits, it is best to feed some young grass and green leaves, and then give some clean cold boiled water every day. After 3 months of growth, feed more green fodder. In addition, it is also necessary to take measures to prevent moisture, heat and cold.

Matters needing attention in raising Dutch rabbits

1. When the weather is hot in summer, you need to prepare an electric fan to avoid heatstroke. In winter, you'd better cover the cage with clothes, blankets, etc., and prepare a light bulb to keep it warm. But be careful with the position of the light bulb. Don't burn the rabbit or bite the wire.

Laying wood chaff is a designated action, which is used to inhale urine and to keep the lost rabbit hair from rising around. Remember to change it frequently, otherwise rabbits are prone to skin diseases, such as toe depilation, cocooning and so on. You'd better put wood chaff on the rabbit toilet. To train him to use the toilet, it is best to carry it to the toilet immediately when he defecates, so that he will know where to go "convenient" later.

two。 It is best to comb the rabbit's hair once a day, especially during the hair changing period, otherwise the hair will be tied together in the future, which will make the appearance ugly, and if the rabbit eats the hair, it will cause the hair ball to poop. Shearing had better be done by the pet store specialist, otherwise it is easy to hurt their tender skin. Rabbit hair is insulated and generally does not need to be specially trimmed.

3. The rabbit itself is so clean that it doesn't have to take a bath for the rest of its life. Rabbit fur has a protective layer, frequent bathing can easily cause depilation or other skin diseases. Rabbits are timid, stress reactions will occur when taking a bath, and loss of temperature, cold, diarrhea and so on are also problems that can easily be caused by bathing.

4. Newborn rabbits are easy to catch cold, so it is best to put a soft cloth around the cage and keep the cage in a warm place as far as possible. A cold rabbit will have a wet nose, like a runny nose in humans. If you find such a situation, you should ask a pet doctor for help, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to treat. Tripe is also a big problem for rabbits. If you buy a rabbit, you'd better ask the seller what food it has eaten in order to continue to use it. Don't just put a big carrot in it, otherwise the rabbit will defecate and it is easy to die of dehydration.

As Dutch rabbits love to be clean and timid, the quiet environment of raising rabbits is very important. in feeding and management, we must create a dry and clean living environment, keep the rabbit cage dry and scrub the rabbit cage every week.
