Do rabbits need to prepare a face nest for hibernation? What kind of nest are prepared for rabbits in winter? This is what many friends who keep rabbits want to know. Then, let's take a look at what kind of nest rabbits sleep in in winter.

You can prepare a cotton nest for the rabbit. Although rabbits have thick hair, they should also do a good job of keeping them warm in winter. Warm and thick cotton pads and hay can be prepared for rabbits. Of course, the hay must be changed regularly, and the cotton pads must be dried regularly. In order to prevent the cold wind from blowing directly to the rabbit, you can use felt cloth or plastic cloth to surround the rabbit house, and if necessary, you need to add heating equipment to the female rabbit house and the rabbit house.
Although rabbits have strong cold resistance, captive rabbits are also afraid of cold. Temperatures above 1°C will not have much impact on rabbits, but below 1°C or even below zero will cause greater damage to rabbits. For example, the growth rate of rabbits is reduced, and the young rabbits freeze to death, so warm measures should be taken in advance.

In addition to preparing a warm nest, provide enough food. Because the temperature is relatively low, the rabbit needs to consume a lot of calories to keep out the cold, so that the nutrition used for the growth of the rabbit will be reduced, so the rabbit will have weight loss problems. If the rabbit is thin, the resistance will be reduced, and it will be particularly susceptible to disease and death.
