At What Temperature Do Rabbits Freeze to Death?
Rabbits die below 5°C — their floor — and feel unwell below 10°C, so winter warmth is a must. This guide covers the warming steps and vaccines to keep them safe.
Two Key Points for Good Rabbit Keeping
Hutch hygiene and feeding method are the two pillars of rabbit care. This guide gives the sanitation standards and the feeding schedule for breeders and mothers.
The Key to Preventing Rabbit Rickets
Balanced nutrition and moderate exercise are the keys to preventing rabbit rickets. This guide covers the daily measures and the cod-liver-oil and calcium-injection treatment.
Rabbit Rickets (Osteomalacia)
Rickets, or osteomalacia, is a nutritional metabolic disease common in rabbits, especially pregnant, nursing, and young ones, driven by calcium deficiency, poor calcium-phosphorus balance, or low vitamin D. This guide covers the causes and prevention.
What to Do If a Rabbit Has a Runny Nose
Watch whether the discharge is clear or thick — the remedy differs. Clear usually means a cold from chill; warm the rabbit first, then treat by severity. This guide covers warmth, nose drops, eye care, and nutrition.
How to Improve Rabbit Breeding Rate
To compete and profit, rabbit farms must raise quality and output. Here are ways to lift breeding rate and litter size.
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.
Treatment and Prevention of Infectious Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits is hard to eradicate and easily relapses, so prevention matters most: low density, good ventilation, clean hutches, steady warmth and the Pasteurella vaccine. For outbreaks, florfenicol, tilmicosin or tylosin now work better than the overused penicillin–streptomycin combo.
Causes of Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits is hard to cure and hard to prevent, with high rates on many farms. The main drivers are crowding, poor ventilation, sharp weather changes, breed susceptibility (angora and fur rabbits are worst), and low husbandry standards.
Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits is hard to cure and best prevented: strict husbandry, low density, good ventilation, solid nutrition and the Pasteurella–Bordetella vaccine cut the risk. For outbreaks, antibiotics such as penicillin, streptomycin, kanamycin or gentamicin by injection, plus enrofloxacin in water for whole-group infection, are the main treatments.
