Sub-phase management of rabbits

Sub-phase management of rabbits

Newborn rabbits have underdeveloped organs, limited regulatory functions, and weak adaptability, making them highly vulnerable to death. As a result, breeders must implement effective, stage-specific management strategies to improve survival rates. During the early phase of life, known as the "sleeping period," which typically lasts around 12 days, newborns are still mostly inactive but grow rapidly. It's crucial that they consume enough milk, especially colostrum, which is rich in nutrients and has a laxative effect. Colostrum, produced by the mother for the first 1–2 days after birth, helps promote growth and aids in passing meconium. Ensuring that each rabbit gets colostrum is essential for their health and development. One key aspect of management is fostering. In many cases, some does give birth to more kits than they can nurse, while others have fewer. A healthy doe can usually feed 6–8 kits, so any extra should be fostered quickly. Kits with similar birth dates should be grouped together based on size and strength and placed into appropriate nests. In cases where a doe refuses to nurse—especially if she is a first-time mother or weak—the practice of forced nursing may be necessary. This involves securing the doe in the nest box and placing the kits near her nipples, allowing them to suckle freely. This process, repeated 1–2 times daily for 3–5 days, often encourages the doe to nurse naturally. If the mother is not available, such as when she has died, lacks milk, or suffers from mastitis, manual feeding becomes necessary. Milk substitutes like goat’s milk or condensed milk can be used, ensuring the kits receive adequate nutrition. Maintaining a stable environment is also important. The temperature in the rabbit rearing area should be kept between 15°C and 20°C to support the kits’ comfort and growth. Additionally, preventing rodent infestations is critical. All cages and nesting areas should be securely closed to keep pests out. As the rabbits begin to open their eyes, typically around day 10–14, they enter the weaning phase. At this point, their milk intake starts to decrease, and they need supplementary feeding. By about 15 days old, they will start exploring food in the nest. At this stage, small amounts of nutrient-dense, easily digestible foods like soy milk, bean curd, or finely chopped young grass and leaves should be introduced. By 20 days old, you can gradually introduce more solid feeds, such as cereals, bran, corn flour, and small amounts of charcoal powder, vitamins, minerals, garlic, and onions to strengthen their immune system. Proper feeding practices are essential during this time. Feeding should be done in small portions, 5–6 times a day, to avoid overfeeding. As the rabbits grow, especially after 30 days, feeding frequency can be reduced, and preparations for weaning should begin. Separating the kits into individual cages after feeding helps prevent overcrowding and ensures better monitoring. Also, it’s important to limit high-moisture green feeds initially, as they can lead to digestive issues like diarrhea or bloating. Monitoring their eating habits closely and adjusting the diet accordingly is key to their long-term health.
