5. Expert advice
1.Season selection: Spring and autumn are more suitable for purchase, as young rabbits are sensitive to temperature changes and the risk of transportation in winter is high;
2.Age control: It is recommended to choose rabbits that are weaned at 2-3 months old, as the survival rate is higher;
3.Document verification: Require sellers to provide vaccination records (especially rabbit plague vaccine);
4.Supplies preparation: Prepare a cage with a size of 60cm or more in advance, and timothy grass should account for 70% of the diet.
Through a systematic purchasing strategy, we can not only avoid the risk of "week rabbit" (die of illness within a week of purchase), but also lay a good foundation for subsequent breeding.
