Rabbits are a common pet, and people often care about their health. A common question is what color is normal for rabbits to shit?
Under normal circumstances, rabbit excrement should be round, dark, dark brown and shiny. This is because the rabbit's diet is dominated by herbs and vegetables, and the spherical excrement is rich in plant fiber and protein, so it is dark in color.
2, rabbits pull other colors of shit.
If the rabbit's excrement shows abnormal color, it may be something wrong with the body. For example:
1. white excrement: it may indicate that the rabbit has too much calcium intake, or it may be a liver problem.
2. Black stool: It may be bloody stool. At this time, you need to pay attention and seek medical attention in time.
3. Red stool: Usually, bloody stool appears in the stool, which may be caused by some parasitic disease or digestive tract disease.
4. Green shit: It may be because rabbits eat too many vegetables or fruits, and their diet is unbalanced, or they may be infected with pathogens such as bacteria.
Therefore, if the above abnormal situation occurs, the rabbit should be taken to the pet hospital for professional treatment in time.
3. How to ensure the normal eating habits of rabbits?
Rabbits are herbivores and need to eat high-fiber food to maintain the health of intestines and digestive tract. So it is very important to ensure the normal eating habits of rabbits.
1. Choose hay: You can choose hay as the main dietary source of rabbits, such as hay and hay powder.
2. Add vegetables appropriately: You can add vegetables appropriately, such as carrots, lettuce and spinach. However, it is necessary to avoid adding too many vegetables to avoid problems such as diarrhea.
3. Give enough water: Be sure to give the rabbit enough water to avoid dehydration and urethral blockage.
4. It is forbidden to feed people's food: Don't feed rabbits with people's food, such as bread and candy, which is easy to induce gastrointestinal diseases.
4. How to judge whether the rabbit's diet is normal?
By observing the feces of rabbits, we can roughly judge whether their diet is normal or not. Normal stools should be dark brown spherical as mentioned above. If the color of feces is obviously green, black, white and other colors, it shows that the diet of rabbits is unbalanced and there are digestive problems.
In addition, we should also observe the rabbit's food intake and appetite. If there is obvious loss of appetite and reduced food intake, you should also take the rabbit to see a pet doctor in time for early treatment.
