Some parents, especially novices, do not know anything about rabbits and do not do a good job of raising rabbits in advance, so they just pick them up and raise them. This is a very irresponsible way to raise rabbits. It can also lead to some misconceptions about raising rabbits, which can lead to the death of rabbits in serious cases.
Myth 1: Not giving rabbits water
Many people associate rabbits drinking water with diarrhea, but there is no relationship between the two. Rabbits can not only drink water, but must be supplied with sufficient water. 6 month old rabbits can drink 500 to 1000 ml of water per day, and 1 month old rabbits can drink 100 to 200 ml of water per day. Some people think that vegetables can replace water.
Myth 2: Vegetables and fruits as staple food
“Little white rabbits, white and white, two ears up, love to eat radishes and vegetables, so cute jumping around.” Many rabbit breeders, according to the nursery rhyme, feed their rabbits only vegetables, and within a few days, they die of diarrhea because the water content in vegetables is too large, and this water content is two concepts with rabbits drinking water directly. The correct method is to supply sufficient pasture, rabbit food and water for adult rabbits, and one to two meals of vegetables per day.
There may be a lot of misconceptions about feeding rabbits, so I won’t point them out one by one. In short, feeding a fresh little life is the first thing to be responsible for the little life, so it is necessary to inquire about some feeding knowledge.
