Winter Care for Rex Rabbits
Winter's cold, short days, and scarce greens threaten rex rabbits with illness and poor breeding, so hold the barn above 10°C (below 5°C is life-threatening), keep it dry and ventilated, add light, and warm kits. Feed more energy-rich food — roughly 23–25% of the diet — with nighttime meals at 60% of daily intake and some carrot or greens to avoid vitamin lack.
Occurrence Patterns of Rabbit Infectious Rhinitis
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits follows clear, predictable patterns. Incidence rises with higher stocking density, certain cage arrangements, the rearing method, the rabbit's breed and age, and seasonal temperature swings. Understanding these patterns helps breeders reduce outbreaks through better housing and management.

Cockatiel: Habits and Breeding Performance
The cockatiel is a quiet, musical parrot that is hardy, disease-resistant and easy to keep, but needs a metal cage (it chews wood) and a varied diet. Its breeding season runs August to December, with 4–7 white eggs incubated about 18–20 days, and it can raise 3–4 clutches a year. Stop breeding in hot July–August and in old age, and keep the environment quiet and warm during incubation.
