Living Habits of Mini Lop Rabbit

Rabbit is afraid of moisture, likes cleaning, and hates dirt. Therefore, in terms of feeding and management, a dry and clean living environment must be created, the rabbit cage should be kept dry frequently, and the rabbit cage should be brushed every week. Feed, drinking water, feeding tools, etc. must always be kept clean. Darkness, dampness, and foul air are the main reasons why rabbits contract diseases.

The rabbit is very timid, and when it suddenly hears a sound, it will appear shocked and lose its appetite. Female rabbits who are giving birth are disturbed and often suffer from dystocia, or refuse to breastfeed their young rabbits. Apart from exercising and eating, rabbits like to rest and sleep, and they will be alarmed when there is movement. Therefore, a quiet environment for raising rabbits is very important.

Rabbit's fur is thick enough to withstand severe cold. Adult rabbits can withstand temperatures below zero, and winter breeding can be carried out at about 5°C. Rabbits are very afraid of heat because their sweat glands are underdeveloped and cannot regulate their body temperature in the form of sweating. Therefore, when the outside temperature is too high, rabbits often crawl on the ground and use ground conduction to dissipate heat; or increase the number of breaths and use exhalation to bring out heat. The suitable temperature for adult rabbits is 15~25℃, and the temperature for young rabbits is 30~32℃.

Apart from feeding during the day, rabbits like to rest or sleep in the cage, but at night, they are very active and feed frequently. According to the experiment, the feed intake of rabbits at night accounts for about 75% of the total diet. Therefore, rabbits must insist on feeding night grass.

Bunny likes to burrow to live, and when they are free-range, burrowing is more frequent before breeding. Therefore, when building a rabbit house, pay attention to this in design and materials.
