Metal Cage raise rabbits to pay attention to five defense techniques

Disease prevention

(1) Anti-contact infectious diseases. The metal cages communicate with each other, which facilitates the breeding and spreading of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. In particular, rabbits, rabbits, coccidiosis, and rabbit scabies are extremely harmful in the event of an outbreak. Therefore, raising a rabbit with a metal cage should insist on daily cleaning and disinfection once a day.

(2) Anti-trauma. Metal cages often have sharp punctures and are potentially dangerous to rabbits and breeders. Therefore, rabbit cages should be carefully checked before entering rabbits to eliminate hidden dangers.

(3) Anti-feet dermatitis. Practice has shown that the incidence of foot dermatitis in rabbits raised in metal cages is significantly higher than in other caged rabbits. Placing wood in a metal cage has better preventive effect. Rabbits, reserved rabbits, and sick and weak rabbits are best not kept in metal cages.

Anti-escape and some metal cages due to the large distance between the wire, young rabbits can easily escape, and sometimes because the rabbit's head has been drilled, but the body is squeezed between the wire, resulting in stuck, hanged and so on. In addition, because the cage bottom is very narrow, the rabbit's leg is easily caught and injured, which affects its normal growth and rest. Therefore, when using a metal cage to raise a young rabbit, it is best to put a plastic mesh mat.

Anti-noise If the noise around the metal cage is large, rabbits will experience stress response. At the same time, due to the interconnected metal cages, a rabbit's slopping, running, screaming, etc. often affect all rabbits. The rabbit house should be kept quiet.

Sunlight-proof metal cages are all connected, and direct sunlight can cause rabbits to suffer from heat stroke. Therefore, rabbit cages should be paid attention to the structure of the rabbit house, so that it can be warm in winter, cool in summer, and well ventilated.

Anti-corrosion, anti-rust Many chemical substances are corrosive to metal cages, common are caustic soda and rabbit urine. Therefore, we should generally strengthen the protection of rabbit utensils, often cleaning, keep dry, and a reasonable choice of disinfectant drugs, brush the metal cage once every six months antirust paint, etc., in order to extend the life of metal cages.
