Friends who keep rabbits will have the same little trouble, that is, whether rabbits are full or not, they like to bite things, bite cages, bite toilets, need springboards, etc. In fact, this is a living habit of rabbits, and it is also needed by the body.
Rabbit
Rabbit Baba After such an experience, I heard the rattling of the rabbit gnawing on the cage early in the morning. First of all, it means that the rabbit was hungry, but after the rabbit was full, I wanted to sleep in the cage, but the baby rabbit started again. Noisy, persistently nibbling on the cage, came out to play around and went back to continue nibbling. Why? In fact, this is the habit of Tutu, and it is also the biggest entertainment activity of Tutu after a meal. Yep, it's teeth grinding. We all know that the rabbit's teeth will grow indefinitely, and when the teeth are not worn for a long time and grow indefinitely, the excessively long incisors will make the rabbit's mouth unable to close, resulting in the inability to bite normally, unable to eat normally, and finally lead to hunger. die.
Some friends may say this: My bunny has long incisors, and the lips are exposed. It looks very cute, and there is no abnormal eating as you said. However, the incisors of rabbits are very special. The roots of the teeth grow inward. Sometimes when the roots grow to a certain length, the tear ducts of the rabbits will be blocked, causing the rabbits to shed tears constantly. In addition, the hygiene conditions are not good. , It is easy to be infected with bacteria, and abnormal secretions appear in the corners of the eyes and nostrils. Rabbits are not only the incisors, but also the molars will continue to grow. The excessively long molars will pierce into the mouth, causing stomatitis, and even growing into the nasal cavity and eye sockets, causing abscesses. So if you prevent Tutu from grinding his teeth, it is tantamount to letting Tutu commit suicide.
But do we have to let it gnaw on the cage? In fact, the editor does not advocate that the rabbit gnaws the cage to grind its teeth. First of all, many of the cages bought by our farmers are painted and electroplated, and the rabbit is in the process of gnawing. It is easy to eat some metal substances and paint. These small amounts are harmless, and will cause damage to the rabbit's body for a long time. Then in order to reduce rabbits biting the cage, we must avoid long-term feeding of vegetable leaves, grass powder and other things as staple food, not only these things are not fully nutritious, but also can not play a role in the molars of rabbits.
Therefore, we need to give rabbits professional rabbit food. Those hard pelleted rabbit food not only contain various trace elements and vitamins that rabbits need, but also play a role in the process of eating rabbits. When it comes to the role of molars, it is mainly beneficial to molars. Is this enough? No, for the health of rabbits and teeth, we also need to provide rabbits with toys specially used for teeth grinding, such as natural birch sticks, natural apple branches, and some teeth grinding stones. In this way, Tutu not only has something to play with, but also something to grind his teeth, so he can have both fun and entertainment.
