Rabbits have the advantages of rapid growth and development, high reproduction rate and exuberant metabolism. Various nutrients must be obtained from feed to meet the nutritional needs of each stage of growth and production, so as to improve the level of production and increase economic benefits. Therefore, the basic principle is "fixed quantity", that is, fixed feeding times and time per day, so that rabbits develop the habit of regular feeding and excretion, so that their intestines and stomach have a rest time. Quantitative, that is, according to the rabbit feed demand and physiological and seasonal characteristics to determine the amount of daily feeding, to prevent suddenly more and less, to pay attention to eat well, to prevent overeating, especially young rabbits overeating will cause gastroenteritis. Therefore, the specific feeding should be flexible and adopt the method of "seven-look feeding":

Look at the weight, feed more for the big ones and less for the small ones.

If you look at the fat, the rabbits should be fed moderately with 80% fat, those who are too fat should be fed less, and the thin ones should be fed more.

Look at feces, dry and hard faeces, increase green succulent feed, increase drinking water; feces are wet and sparse, increase pellet compound feed, give less green succulent feed, reduce drinking water, and feed drugs in time.

Look at hunger and fullness. If the rabbit is hungry and has a strong appetite, you can appropriately increase the amount of food to be fed. If you have a poor appetite, feed less if you are not hungry.

Look at hot and cold, when the weather is cold, you should feed more feed and drink warm water. Feed less concentrate in hot weather, increase green feed, drink more water, and drink fresh well water or tap water.

According to the age, adult rabbits should be fed less than 3 times a day, and newly weaned young rabbits should be fed more times, less frequently required to be fed with good quality and digestible feed.

Look at the number of young rabbits, such as female rabbits breast-feeding rabbits, young rabbits begin to eat feed, to set up more trough, feed more feed.
