Miso and Sesame Tasting Crispy Food| Source: In a short five-minute eating broadcast on the Internet, Rabbit ate leaf beet, carrot, mint and strawberry. The arrival of the rabbit year, already cat and dog both consider cat and dog rabbit three complete?

The first step is to find out what the rabbit eats. The text of Lesson 26,"Little White Rabbit and Little Grey Rabbit," tells us that the rabbit eats cabbage.

The earliest contact with the "official" rabbit recipe (rabbit also wears red armor during the New Year) Bugs Bunny in the animation "Bugs Bunny" and "Love Pet Big Secret" Little White are in the same box as carrots.

A single rabbit has contingency, such as you, me and him in a crowd, and has its own taste preferences. This preference may be caused by a genetic aversion, or it may not be used to eating carrots as a child or not knowing that they can be eaten (who knows that they are sweet and juicy when they look hard and have no fragrance).

In fact, most rabbits like to eat carrots, but sweet and juicy carrots to rabbits is like dessert to children, eat more is not good, try to eat less. Not only easy to tooth decay, but also because the moisture content of vegetables is too large, it is not suitable for rabbits 'intestines and stomach, and it is easy to cause diarrhea. For rabbits at all growth stages, the recipe should be grass> rabbit food> vegetables.

Specific recipes for each growth stage| Source: Strawberry bear syrup, references [1] Vegetables are the prime cause of diarrhea? This is derived from rabbit's special digestive system: hindgut fermentation type. Its digestive tract is complex and long, the volume is also large, the large and small intestine is extremely developed, the total length is about 10 times the body length, the rabbit weighing about 3 kg has 5~6 meters of intestinal tract, caecum about 0.5 meters, so it can eat a lot of grass, about 10%~30% of body weight. Caecum and colon are developed, in which there are a large number of microbial reproduction, which is the basis of digestion of crude fiber. The digestibility of crude fiber in rabbits is 60%~80%, second only to cattle and sheep, higher than that of horses and pigs. The lack of crude fiber in rabbits is easy to cause digestive disorders, decreased feed intake, diarrhea, etc.

Here's how much rabbits know. Let's see if you really know them.

Q1: Rabbit diarrhea because of drinking too much water?

A: Rabbits drink water and diarrhea are independent events, and must be supplied with sufficient water, which is different from diarrhea and stool odor caused by excessive intake of vegetables (people need to drink more hot water, rabbits are also). It should be noted that the ball kettle is used instead of the sink for water, which is determined by the oral structure of rabbits.

Q2: Is it possible to feed rabbit food only to rabbits?

A: Eating grass can supplement all kinds of nutrients needed by rabbits, and because rabbits have the habit of eating wool, eating grass can help them regulate their stomachs and completely remove hair. The reason why rabbit food cannot be fed only is that a lot of probiotics and microorganisms in rabbit intestinal tract will cause rabbit food to ferment and produce gas in intestinal tract, causing severe indigestion and diarrhea.

Q3: Can I feed rabbits meat?

A: Rabbit's stomach is not adapted to high fat and high moisture foods, including many foods with high oil content, such as chocolate, instant noodles, bread, etc., as well as egg foods, foods containing meat and oil, etc. Rabbit eats meat foods and foods with high oil content, which will cause serious gastrointestinal diseases.

Q4: Why do you prepare more food for rabbits at night? Supper turned into dinner?

A: The disparity in the proportion of food supply between day and night is due to the fact that rabbits are nocturnal animals (excluding humans, so go to bed early and get up early, one of the flags of the new year). For friends who stay up late, in the Year of Rabbit, they can also be renamed "night owl" as "night rabbit".

One of the "recipes": Eat baby. Do you think this is over? Looking at the harmless rabbit, it actually eats placenta and even its own baby!

Photo source: pixabay proverb says "tiger poison does not eat children," but female rabbits often eat all or part of their newborn babies, mainly for the following reasons:

Insufficient feeding and unbalanced supply of nutrients: insufficient daily feeding or lack of certain proteins and vitamins in the diet, insufficient calcium and phosphorus, insufficient sodium salt;

Motherhood is not strong: some of the puerperal rabbits do not excrete rabbit hair before and after childbirth, indicating that their maternal strength is not strong;

External influence: During the process of giving birth, the female rabbits were suddenly frightened and peculiar smell appeared in the litter box.

Poor prenatal preparation: the female rabbit is very thirsty after giving birth. If she cannot drink clean water in time, it will cause the female rabbit to eat the baby rabbit.

The technology of adjusting baby rabbits is not up to standard: due to the death of female rabbits after childbirth or the large number of female rabbits born, artificial adjustment (i.e. foster care) is required. Rabbits have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, which brings certain difficulties to foster care. If female rabbits smell peculiar smell, they will eat the foster baby rabbits or their own baby rabbits.[2]

Knowing the above reasons and prescribing the right medicine, we can try our best to avoid the "tragedy" of parent-child cannibalism (killing and eating their own cubs).

Weird Recipe 2: Eat shit In addition, the gentle rabbit actually eats its own poop! Unlike avoiding poop, eating poop should not be prohibited.

Rabbit poop is divided into hard poop and soft poop. Soft stool is also called grape stool (cecum stool), just like a bunch of grapes, soft and wet small particles stuck together, relatively black and smelly. Rabbit's soft feces contain many undigested nutrients. Rabbit's behavior of eating feces is not considered pica, but can be understood as "secondary digestion." In addition, soft feces contain amylase that rabbits need but lack, and if they are cruelly forbidden to eat feces, they will eventually become malnourished [3].

conclusion

As shown in the table, the rabbit likes to eat things to be controlled, according to the meal supply, otherwise do not know full rabbit easy to accumulate food, seven or eight full best. As the ancient nutrition monograph "drinking is about" said,"so good health first drink and eat, eat not to make full. Thirst first and worship, drink not too much. Appetite is few and few, do not want to stop and many, cover full in hunger, hunger in satiety, full will hurt lungs, hunger will hurt qi, if full, can not lie down, that is, health hundred diseases,"and encourage together with the monarch.

What you like to eat is not equal to eating correctly, just like we have to observe a balanced diet pagoda for health. The Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end. Even if you are busy, you should eat well!
