Rabbits have a high moisture content in their diet, with vegetables typically containing around 85% water. They also have low crude fiber and are very palatable, making them appealing to rabbits. However, feeding young rabbits under 90 days old with vegetable leaves can lead to diarrhea within just a few days. If a rabbit develops diarrhea after consuming vegetables, it's important to stop the vegetable feed immediately and replace it with hay and dried leaves. You can also add 2% charcoal or medicinal charcoal to the mix to help absorb toxins.
When vegetables are grown using nitrogen fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides, or when they are exposed to droughts, lack of sunlight, or stress, their nitrate levels can increase significantly. Rabbits, being naturally greedy, may consume large amounts of these leaves, which can irritate their stomach lining and lead to gastroenteritis. After pests, trampling, frost, or during transportation—especially in hot and humid conditions—nitrates in the vegetables can convert into more dangerous nitrites. Even as little as 100 grams of such vegetables can cause poisoning, so it’s crucial to be cautious when feeding these to rabbits.
Cruciferous vegetables like mustard, rape, and radish contain a compound called mustard oil glycosides. When broken down by enzymes, these can produce toxic substances such as nitriles, which can harm the liver and kidneys of rabbits. Therefore, it's best to limit the amount of cruciferous vegetables in their diet. Additionally, feeding rabbits vegetables that have been damaged by aphids or cabbage caterpillars can lead to various health issues, including conjunctivitis, stomatitis, gastroenteritis, rhinitis, vaginitis, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
When feeding rabbits vegetables, it's important to choose those with lower moisture content, such as bran, and combine them with high-fiber options like dried leaves. Always provide fresh vegetables without dew to avoid any unnecessary moisture intake. A balanced approach to vegetable feeding will help maintain the health and well-being of your rabbits.
Microcapsule Powder
Microencapsule powder is a kind of powdery substance formed by wrapping powder or liquid substance with high-quality wall material using microencapsulation technology. The diameter is generally 1~500 μm, and the thickness of the wall is generally 0.5~150 μm, which can improve the stability of the product, prevent mutual interference between various components, and make it easier for the human body to absorb and use. Microencapsulation technology can improve the water solubility of the core material, cover the odor of the core material, and prevent the core material from being oxidized.
