How to make rabbits happy?

Pet rabbits are easily frightened and stressed, which can lead to hair loss, digestive disorders, and even suffocation.

In addition to keeping rabbits in a secluded, sheltered and quiet space, there are ways to keep rabbits in a happy mood to ensure a healthy mental state.

There are three ways to make rabbits happy

In professional pet rabbit training institutions, many purebred pet rabbits are trained each year to participate in international competitions. In the face of the complex environment on the field, how to effectively relax and make rabbits happy in the shortest possible time is a very important research topic.

Currently, there are three ways to make rabbits happy: food, petting, and games.

Make rabbits happy by giving them their favorite food

Although rabbits are herbivores, some plant foods are not well absorbed and are not good for rabbit health when consumed in excess. For example, apples are one such food. Excessive consumption of apples can cause damage to the rabbit's heart, but if offered as a reward food within certain limits, apples are very suitable.

One detail that needs special attention is that the apples that make rabbits happy are not necessarily the very sweet varieties found in our shopping malls. Rabbits are inherently more sensitive to the taste of apples than humans, and a sanitary, fresh apple (a quarter is a perfect amount) is more than enough to make a rabbit happy.

Fresh fruit is easy to make rabbits happy

Ear massage is a great trick to make rabbits happy

Rabbits can distinguish the owner's scent. A stranger's touch on a rabbit can make the rabbit nervous and uneasy, but the owner's touch can put the rabbit in a happy mood. Massaging the ears is a very good way to do this. Rabbits' ears are covered with capillaries and some purebred pet rabbits do not have adequate blood flow to their ears due to artificial breeding.

Gently massaging the rabbit's ears with your hands can speed up the blood flow to the rabbit's ears, which is a top-notch "rabbit spa" for the rabbit.

Another benefit of massaging rabbits' ears is that it can alleviate the risk of rabbit ear disease. Many rabbits are prone to ear infections after middle age, so if you can enhance ear massage during the day, you can effectively alleviate this crisis.

In addition to ear massage, rabbits are also very familiar with people, who gently massage their cervical spine, especially for some infrequent exercise for domestic pet rabbits. However, it should be noted that the abdomen of rabbits, unlike dogs and cats, can be stroked at will. Many rabbits have fragile abdomens and a little force may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or even bleeding (young rabbits).

Regular ear massages can make rabbits happy.

Rabbit's favorite games are drilling and burrowing.

The common mode of raising pet rabbits at home is either caged or free-range. Both of these models lack a burrow environment. Rabbits have a strong need for burrows. Rabbits will be very happy if they can be provided with a simulated burrow environment where they can regularly burrow, run and explore in their burrows.

One way of doing this, often found in Europe, is to use cardboard boxes to make their barrel shape, between 40 cm and 60 cm in diameter and generally over 3 meters in length. Such a paper cylinder is already the perfect playground for rabbits. If rabbits can be allowed to move around in such an environment for 15~30 minutes every day, they will not only have a good workout but also stay happy.

Rabbits need a burrowing simulation environment for games

Raising rabbits needs to ensure that rabbits are happy. Whether it is pet rabbit raising or economic rabbit raising, it is very important to ensure the mental health of rabbits because of their sensitive psychology.
