Why can't rabbits eat grass beside their nests?

Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests because wild rabbits live in caves dug by themselves. If there is a cave, there will be a hole. If there is vegetation around the hole in a natural state, it will not be easily found by other animals, especially natural enemies. Rabbits can also be well concealed when they move near caves, so that they will not be detected by natural enemies when they make a slight movement. It can also prevent the rain from washing away the hole.

Rabbits can be fed with special rabbit food and vegetables, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, cabbage (cabbage), cucumbers, radish leaves, pumpkins and green vegetables. When feeding vegetables, they must be washed and drained before feeding. Fruits: oranges, bananas, grapes, apples and strawberries. When feeding fruits, the water consumption of rabbits should be reduced appropriately to adjust the absorption of water. Grass: shepherd's purse, plantain, dandelion and goose intestines. Other foods: bean curd residue, bread.

Extended information:

Rabbit is a timid animal, and sudden noise, strangers and strange animals, such as cats and dogs, will make it panic. In feeding management, we should try to avoid the noise that causes rabbits to panic, and at the same time, we should prohibit strangers, cats and dogs from entering the rabbit house. The rabbit has a keen sense of hearing and a sensitive sense of smell, but it is timid and afraid of being surprised and good at running.

sudden shock-when there is a sudden noise, you will immediately be on guard or run away quickly. When people suddenly make noise or smell, or see strangers, dogs, cats, snakes, rats, insects, etc., they will be alarmed, and they will make a loud bang (bang), stamp their feet (stomp), run and bump into cages in order to escape from the enemy.

generally, there are many caves in its home (the three caves of the cunning rabbit) to avoid the enemy. In winter, they only follow their own footprints.

feed should be easy to digest, eat less and eat more meals, 5 ~ 6 times a day. A typical feed is bran and bean powder bibimbap with auxin, and a proper amount of high-energy concentrate such as whole milk powder or glucose can be added if necessary. Young rabbits are in a period of vigorous growth and development, eating more food, and avoiding food injury and gastroenteritis. Feed should increase with age, and don't suddenly reduce or change the feed.

In winter and spring, animal feed such as light fish meal or silkworm chrysalis with feed content of 5% should be added. Similarly, increase exercise, see more sunshine and promote metabolism. Conducive to bone growth and development, avoiding stunting and paralysis caused by lack of calcium and phosphorus. And it is necessary to train rabbits to drink water habits from childhood, promote nutrient absorption in the body, and be conducive to growth and development. Young rabbits from February to March have an inconspicuous molting process, so it is not easy to keep long hair at this time. If they still have long hair, they should be sheared all over to avoid the occurrence of hairballs, which can also reduce the chance of long hair absorbing protein.
