Knowledge-you must know
Here are some common misunderstandings about bunny girls. I hope you can not only know Bunny yourself, but also educate people around you who don't know Bunny. Don't misunderstand the tragedy that Tutu and Tutu's grandson died in vain because of human ignorance! Saving a rabbit's life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! Thank you!
● Rabbits don't drink water?
Rabbits are like people and other animals: they can't live without air, food and water. Drinking water helps the metabolism of rabbits, but the urination mechanism of rabbits is centralized, so rabbits need less water than other animals, not to say that rabbits don't drink water!
● Will rabbits die if they drink water?
Water is a necessity for rabbits. Drinking clean water normally is not fatal! You should drink unclean water before you have diarrhea or even die of inflammation and diarrhea! Please give the rabbit clean water, such as boiled water (not hot water), purified water, distilled water and mineral water. Don't give the rabbit tap water. Keep the kettle or basin clean, and it is best to clean and change the water every day!
● Does the rabbit grow up when drinking water?
As long as it is life, it will become bigger, and it will not become bigger, which means that it will stop life. Rabbits don't become giant rabbits by drinking water. The size of rabbits when they grow up is related to their own species and heredity. Please don't believe the rumor that a mini rabbit will become a big rabbit when drinking water!
● Restrict rabbits from drinking water?
Ordinary evil businessmen deliberately don't give rabbits water to drink in order to sell "fake mini rabbits". Rabbits who don't drink water don't eat feed because they are thirsty. Rabbits that don't eat or drink, of course, grow slowly and are very mini. In fact, they are simply malnourished. When you buy water for rabbits, rabbits will drink a lot of water because of excessive thirst, and then die. Everyone thinks it is necessary to restrict rabbits from drinking water! In fact, under the correct feeding, rabbits will control themselves, will not be thirsty, and will not drink water! And because of different seasons and eating habits, there will be different water consumption, such as drinking less in winter than in summer (summer is hot and thirsty, and so is human beings! ) If you eat too much feed, drink more water, because if you eat too much feed, you will be thirsty. If you are thirsty, drink water!
● Rabbits are not easy to raise?

● Rabbits live short and die easily?
Under proper feeding, the average life span of rabbits is 5 ~ 12 years, but the smaller the rabbits, the shorter the average life span. And most people like to keep rabbits! Rabbits have no more diseases than cats and dogs. As long as the owner raises them correctly, they should not die young unless you buy unweaned rabbits from unscrupulous businessmen!
● Rabbits can't take a bath?
Rabbits can take a bath! Otherwise, you can't leave it dirty or shave your head, can you? However, young rabbits in three months and cold weather should avoid bathing, for fear that rabbits will lose their body temperature and die! Precautions for rabbit washing: 1. Use rabbit-specific shower gel, not human shampoo or shower gel to wash rabbits! 2. Be careful that the water temperature is not too low. 3. Rinse it clean, don't leave any shower gel for the rabbit to lick too much, it will be poisoned! 4. Dry with a dry towel and blow dry with a hair dryer. Rabbits love cleanliness. They clean themselves several times a day, and their skin has protective ingredients. Washing with water will destroy this protection and make rabbits prone to skin problems, so it is best to avoid frequent washing, preferably once every two to three months.
● Rabbits stink?
Rabbits are clean. Under normal circumstances, rabbit feces are small and odorless, but rabbit urine smells. However, if the owner can eat feed that can remove the urine odor, it can be improved. Moreover, if the rabbit cage is padded and the rabbit toilet is used for education, the rabbit cage will be cleaned easily, and it is not as smelly as everyone thinks!
● Rabbits only eat carrots?
Rabbits don't necessarily like carrots best, and more than a dozen rabbits that Yaya once raised don't like carrots. Rabbits can't just eat carrots. Carrots are cool vegetables. Excessive consumption can easily lead to diarrhea and vitamin A poisoning, especially in young rabbits within 3 months.
● Rabbits eat carrots, so their eyes are red?
This is purely human association fiction, and it is impossible for human beings to turn red because they eat more carrots. How can rabbits have this magical power? In fact, that's because the pupil's membrane (iris) has no color at all, and it can be seen through the blood inside, so it shows red eye. Once the blood stops circulating, the eyes will become transparent and turbid.
● Mini rabbits will not grow up?
There are rabbits no more than two palms in the world (the smallest variety is Bolan rabbit, which is less than 1 kg), but at present, most of the miniature rabbits introduced and sold by Taiwanese businessmen are 1 kg ~ 2.7 kg, which are not always the size of young rabbits just bought, as people think! Please remember that there is only one kind of rabbit in the world that won't grow up, and that is the rabbit that goes to heaven! Don't believe the lies of unscrupulous businessmen that miniature rabbits don't grow up. The rabbit you see is likely to die easily.
● Catch the rabbit by ear?
Nobody likes being led by the ear! Ears are important organs of rabbits. Rabbits have no sweat glands and must dissipate heat. Rabbits' ears are not scratched by people. If the rabbit's ear is scratched, it will cause nerve damage, resulting in the rabbit's ear standing straight and unable to turn. Please stop everyone around you scratching the rabbit's ear!

Habits-Many people think that rabbits only eat carrots and lettuce and don't even need to drink water. In fact, this is all wet. Rabbits need enough grains, fruits and vegetables, hay and water every day to keep healthy. The simplest and most nutritious food is ready-made rabbit food. These rabbit foods are mixed with a variety of grains, vitamins and minerals, and a little anticoccidial drugs are added to control the beneficial secretion in the stomach.
Body language of rabbits
Rabbits rarely make sounds, so to understand rabbits, we must understand their body language. When it stamped its foot on the ground with its hind foot, it indicated that it was frightened and threatened. If its head is forward and its tail is upright, it means that it is ready to fight back, so you'd better not touch it, because it will bite you at any time. For example, a rabbit stands up on its hind legs, which means it is detecting its surroundings with its vision and smell ... If it touches you with its nose, it wants you to play with it. The rabbit licks your hand to show that it likes you. When it rubs an object with its chin, it is a way for rabbits to set its sphere of influence, just like dogs use urine to determine their sphere of influence ... if it eats its own feces, it is a way for them to absorb vitamin B. Usually, they eat it from the anus. This is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to make a fuss. When they are holding something or walking around with hay, it means that they want to make a hut, which is a symbol of estrus or pregnancy of the female rabbit.
Rabbits are not afraid of water, but they are quite prone to get sick in a humid environment, and foods with high water content are also prone to diarrhea, so they naturally avoid water.
Snowshoe rabbits change their hair twice a year, turning white in autumn and brownish gray in spring. They are called snowshoe rabbits because their hind legs grow thick white hair in winter.
Like snowshoes, they are more convenient to walk in the snow.
Rabbits are one of many mammals. A female rabbit can give birth to 20 young rabbits every year. Rabbits also like to eat crops, which makes farmers have a headache.
