I. The temperature that cream rabbits adapt to

Cream rabbits are warm-blooded animals, and their body temperature is maintained at around 38~39.5℃ all year round. They adjust the heat they generate according to changes in the outside temperature, balancing the temperature difference between the body and the outside world. The higher the temperature, the harder it is to dissipate heat from the body. When the temperature is lower than body temperature, the cream rabbit will increase its own heat production, which will consume a lot of energy.

Second, the humidity that cream rabbits adapt to

The humidity is generally controlled at 60%~65%. If it is too low or too high, it will easily cause the cream rabbits to get sick. The winter in the north is relatively dry, and with the heating in the room, the increase in temperature makes the moisture in the air volatilize faster. At this time, we need to use a humidifier to increase the humidity in the room.
