Useful tips on how to properly plant rabbits

1. The right choice. If you decide to breed such interesting animals as rabbits - think about whether there is in your arsenal what is needed for this difficult matter. In your home, there must be one more spare cage, if you need to separate the small rabbits from the rabbit separately. When choosing a rabbit - buy only quiet animals, tk. If the rabbit is aggressive, then breeding his breed will be undesirable.


2. Reproduction. For reproduction it is necessary to take a female rabbit and put in a cage to the male. Do not confuse at all, therefore as a rabbit in this case it will be much more difficult to master and he will spend much more time sniffing his new home. Leave the rabbits alone for 10 or 20 minutes, watch them. It happens that the rabbit behaves aggressively, tries to escape or fight. Then it is better to separate them from each other. In no case do not leave the female with the male for a long time, because rabbits can become pregnant twice. The first litter can be early, and the second - on the contrary - late. This is very harmful to the health of rabbits. Do not try to touch the babies prematurely in the womb, it can only hurt her. Even an experienced veterinarian can do harm.

3. Amenities. If the female is pregnant, provide her with everything necessary. More hay, water. Do not use a variety of rags or towels. The female herself will make a nest the way she thinks. If you find wool - do not panic. She breaks it off her breast to nest the nest. Sometimes the rabbit "thinks" herself pregnant and cuts off the coat, but pregnancy is not always present. During pregnancy, you can not lift the female up, turn over or do any sudden movements. Give her complete peace of mind.


4. Birth. After the birth of the kids, feed your rabbit "for slaughter."Greens, vegetables, hay. .. The rabbit must recover after giving birth. The presence of a different rustle in the cage, as well as the blood and squeak of the babies will let you know that the rabbits were born. The female will try to clean the cell of excess blood and smells. This it does to protect against predators. Rabbits are born, most often at dawn, when you are still sleeping. So do not forget to look into the cage in the morning.



5. Walk. If your pet is not aggressive, then it's perfectly permissible to let him go for a walk. This is necessary if the rabbit is used to it, but let it go no more than 1 hour. If the female behaves aggressively, it is better to abandon this idea. Look where the nest is. If it is located in the covered part of the cage, it is better not to open this part. In any case, before touching its nest - rub your hands on the straw with the feces of the female, then on her hands will be present its smell, because with any undesirable interference the female can abandon her kids, which is fraught with their further death, if you can not carebabies.
