One of the most important aspects in the content of rabbits is a properly formulated diet. But often at first sight such a simple task proves impossible. How correctly to feed rabbits ?
Care for rabbits - what to feed?
Rabbits - almost nordreglivye in nutrition, but what is the best way to feed them? The main thing is not to forget: the main components of the diet are: hay, quality water, vegetables, fruits, ready-made food.
As for the consumption of liquid, the rabbits drink it very much. Water should be regularly changed to fresh and do not forget to wash the drinker.
The main component in the diet of these animals is hay. It should be present in their cells constantly and be fresh and fragrant.
But as for vegetables and fruits, one should be more careful here, since they are capable of provoking disturbances in the intestinal microflora, and in consequence lead to a disorder of the stomach. To avoid such situations, limit rabbits in the use of vegetables and fruits.
Ready dry food contains many necessary minerals and vitamins, so do not neglect them. The daily rate should be about 3-5 grams.
Often many people are mistaken, believing that it is possible to feed the usual rabbit and ornamental rabbit equally. How and how does their diet differ?
Decorative rabbits, if possible, should be given a dried (blanched) mixture of herbs. Water for drinking should be changed 2-3 times per day. And to introduce vegetables and fruits gradually - one new vegetable every day, watching the reaction of his body. Than you can not feed ornamental rabbits - it's dry food. It is better to use it as a promotion or not to add the animal at all, so as to avoid negative consequences (such as obesity, decreased sexual function or dysbacteriosis).
