Why do male rabbits bite the hair of female rabbits?

1, the feeding density is too high.

The lives of rabbits in captivity are very crowded. In this limited space, their behaviors and actions will be much reduced, and their lives will be very monotonous. This rabbit is bored and irritable, and biting hair has become their bad habit to relieve boredom. Reasonable feeding density is one of the main measures to avoid rabbit biting hair.

2. The strength of rabbits is unbalanced.

Some weak rabbits or pregnant female rabbits are often bitten by other rabbits. The solution is to put the bullied rabbits into young rabbits or raise them alone.

3, body surface parasites

Some rabbits have parasites such as scale mites on their skin, which causes rabbits to bite their fur. It is suggested that rabbits should take deworming measures in spring and autumn, and the common method is to mix materials with ivermectin or drink water.

4. The diet of rabbits is not balanced.

Rabbits kept in cages lack certain nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., due to single feed variety, long-term lack of green feed, improper feed processing and preparation methods, and unreasonable diet preparation. Or the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus, especially the lack of sulfur-containing amino acids, will cause rabbits to bite.

Extended data:

Rabbit hair is rich in ergot and cholesterol. These substances can be transformed into vitamin D after being irradiated by sunlight and solar ultraviolet rays, and then stored in rabbit hair. Rabbit hair is thick and can absorb vitamin D.

Rabbits can live in groups, but rabbits generally live alone.
