Many rural residents have their own subsidiary plots. Livestock raising is one of the main activities of the villagers. But since feed is steadily becoming more expensive, keeping cattle and pigs becomes less profitable. People are looking for an alternative and find it.

We thought for a long time whether to buy nutria or is it better to choose rabbits? The choice fell on eared and fluffy animals. Still, nutria meat is not for everybody's taste, and rabbit meat is a dietary and tasty product. In November, I bought three Californian bunnies and a male. Rabbits cost a thousand rubles each. The rabbit cost one and a half. Californian rabbits are a disease-resistant breed, unpretentious, and belong to the meat group. Californians' appearance is very aesthetic. Perhaps this is the most beautiful breed of rabbit of all that I have ever seen. In January, my bunnies gave birth to their first offspring.

So that the rabbits do not freeze and feel good, appropriate conditions are needed. If they are observed, even in cold weather, rabbits will give birth to offspring.

1. Move your pets to the barn. They can live in a fence. It is better to settle the males separately, blocking the shed with fences, since they are aggressive towards each other. The barn should have at least one window so that the rabbits do not experience a lack of light.

2. If your rabbits live in barn cages, lift them at least a meter off the floor.

3. Clean the cells daily. The floors in them must allow waste to fall onto the pallet.

4. Diversify your rabbits' diet. In addition to hay, regularly feed vegetables (carrots, beets). Rabbits can be fed with waste (apple cores, potato peelings washed with warm water).

5. Rabbits love pine needles. Green needles are a valuable treat for them.

6. There should always be water in the cages.

7. Rabbits you happen to need a separate living space. Their cage should consist of a walking area and a queen cell filled with hay.
