An introduction to the living habits of Rex Rabbit

The Rex rabbit doesn't know if you understand. It is a kind of economical breeding variety. The following is the editor of Tuliu.com to introduce to you the living habits of the Rex rabbit. Let's take a look:

Sleep during the day and out at night

Rex rabbits lie and lie in cages during the day, their eyes are half-open and half-closed, and they rest quietly, but they are very active before and after 8 falls. According to the determination, generally under the condition of free feeding, the Rex free night feed intake accounts for about 70% and 75% of the daily feed intake. The amount of drinking water accounts for about 60%.

Second, like to be dry and afraid of moisture

The humid environment helps to breed and multiply a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, especially scabies and coccidiosis in young rabbits. In addition, some field-free foot dermatitis is more serious, the dampness of the rabbit house is one of the main inducing factors. Therefore, when building rabbit houses, we should choose high and dry places, and prohibit the construction of free fields in low-lying areas. Usually keep the cage dry, prevent the drinking fountain from leaking, clean up the feces and urine in time, and avoid splashing water in the rabbit house (except in midsummer), so as to reduce the humidity in the house.

Third, the sense of smell, taste and hearing are sensitive and visually dull

Rex rabbit through the nose to distinguish different odors, to distinguish between different, gender. The tongue of the Rex rabbit is very sensitive and has a strong ability to distinguish the taste of feed. Rex avoid eating sweet grass and bitter plant feed, do not like to eat fishy animal feed and things with bad smell (such as mildew, sour smell). The ear of the Rex rabbit is sensitive to sound, and the ear spirit brings some difficulties to the breeding, so we need to pay attention to prevent the noise from disturbing the Rex. The eyes of Rex rabbits respond poorly to light, and mothers do not distinguish whether they are their own children, not through the eyes but by the nose. Similarly, the quality of the feed in the trough is judged not by the eyes but by the nose and tongue.

Fourth, small Rex do not like to live in groups, and adult Rex rabbits are aggressive of the same sex.

Little Rex does not like to live in groups, but with the increase of age, the gregariousness is getting worse and worse. In particular, male rabbits after sexual maturity often bite and fight under the condition of group rearing. During the breeding period, as long as the two male rabbits do not meet each other, they seem to have a sworn feud. They fight fiercely and bite all over the body until they are divided into high and low. After sexual maturity, the public exemption should be raised in a single cage, and those who do not leave seeds are generally castrated so that they can be raised in groups. Two or more female rabbits can be raised in the same cage during non-pregnancy and non-lactation, but they must be raised in a single cage in the late pregnancy and lactation to prevent adverse consequences caused by mutual interference.

Happy cave dwelling

Burrowing is the nature of Rex rabbits. although it has a long history of domestication, many Rex rabbits have not touched the ground for many generations, let alone live in the hole, but as long as they are put into the wild or raised on the ground, the wildness of burrowing immediately recovers, especially in the later stage of pregnancy.

VI. Rodent property

The incisors of Rex rabbits, like mice, have the characteristics of lifelong growth. If they do not get the proper friction, the teeth will become longer and longer until they are stabbed, affecting feeding. Usually put some branches into the cage so that the Rex is free to eat, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also prevent the effect of biting bad habits.

All right, these are the living habits of the Rex rabbit brought by the editor of Tuliu.com. I'll see you next time.
