Are rabbits afraid of the cold in winter? Will rabbits freeze to death? This is what many rabbit friends want to know. Then, let's take a look at what to pay attention to when raising rabbits in winter.

Rabbits will not freeze to death. Because the temperature drop after snowing has little effect on the rabbit, the rabbit itself has a very strong ability to keep out the cold. However, in the case of food shortage, the rabbit's ability to resist the cold will be affected, and it is easy to freeze to death in the case of starvation and cold.
But although rabbits have strong cold resistance, the suitable temperature for rabbits is between 10℃-20℃. If you are raising rabbits in the cold northern winter, you must first pay attention to keeping warm. Generally, rabbits should be kept indoors, and the room temperature should always be kept at 5°C-10°C. It is cold at night, and you can use a heat preservation lamp to help the rabbits keep warm.
In addition, the physical consumption of rabbits in winter is larger than usual, so they should be fed with high-energy, high-protein concentrate, as well as appropriate fresh vegetables, and the amount is about 1/3 more than in other seasons.

Another point is that it is strictly forbidden to feed the rabbit frozen food and water. Since they usually eat hay, neither frozen food nor water should be fed, which is essentially watery.
Actually, rabbits are very timid and generally don't like to be in contact with strangers, but in winter, they still need to help them increase some exercise.   In fine weather, take the rabbits outside to bask in the sun.

The above are all the things that Xiaobian has learned about raising rabbits in winter. I hope it can help everyone.
