As the saying goes, tiger venom does not eat offspring, but some female rabbits with morbid and vicious habits will devour young rabbits when their babies are born. This behavior is really outrageous. But how can we prevent the female rabbit from reproducing? What should be done to prevent such a thing from happening? And what causes the rabbit mother to do such a behavior?

There are many reasons for the female rabbit to swallow the young rabbits, such as lack of salt in the female rabbit or insufficient drinking water for a long time, insufficient calcium and phosphorus in the feed, some Lack of protein and vitamin B family and insufficient supply of other nutrients lead to the habit of swallowing young rabbits; female rabbits are disturbed during childbirth, and the farrowing box has peculiar smell, and the phenomenon of swallowing young rabbits will also occur.

1. Symptoms

Ingestion of young rabbits just born or a few days after giving birth. Sometimes all the young rabbits were eaten, sometimes part of them, and sometimes the ears and feet of the young rabbits were bitten off.

2. Prevention and control

1. Pregnant female rabbits should be fed full-price compound feed and feed rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. And often fed green and juicy feed.

2. Give enough water before delivery, and drink light salt water in time after delivery.

3. The rabbit house should be kept clean. Don't watch or shout loudly when giving birth.

4. The mother rabbit and the young rabbits should be separated after giving birth to the mother rabbit with the habit of swallowing young rabbits, and breastfeed regularly.

5. 3-5 days before the female rabbit gives birth, wash and sterilize the birthing box, dry it in the sun, and then lay it on clean bedding and put it in the female rabbit cage. At the same time, do not touch the baby rabbits with hands with peculiar smell (such as cosmetic smell), so as to avoid the phenomenon of eating the baby rabbits after the mother rabbit does not think it is her own baby rabbit after smelling.
