Rabbits can't eat vegetables for a long time

Rabbits will suffer from fiber deficiency if they eat vegetables for a long time. With the advent of winter, there is a gradual shortage of green fodder. Many rabbit farmers feed rabbits with some fresh vegetables such as cabbage, chrysanthemum, rape or their leftovers. Rabbits also like to eat, but their weight increases slowly, and rabbits die sporadically from time to time. This phenomenon is usually caused by fiber deficiency caused by a lack of crude fiber in the rabbit diet.

Crude fiber plays an important role in maintaining the normal digestive function of rabbits, maintaining the consistency of digested products, the formation of hard feces and the process of digestion and operation. Too little crude fiber in the diet will cause digestive disorder, diarrhea, death and other symptoms in rabbits. Although those fresh vegetables are palatable, they cannot be fed for a long time because of their low crude fiber content.

In practice, we can make up for the lack of crude fiber in the nutrition of rabbits and improve the nutritional value of feed by feeding mackerel (alias cat ear vegetable, frozen immortal vegetable) with high crude fiber content. In order to improve the palatability and alleviate its cold, and make the rabbit like to eat, brown sugar can be added to the rabbit diet.
