Rabbit meat is a dietary product. Possessing low calorieness, its good assimilation of the human body and the content of a large amount of protein, it practically does not contain cholesterol. Rabbitatina is useful for people prone to completeness and suffering from heart disease, liver and stomach.
Content
For animal maintenance, special buildings will be required to be dry, light and comfortable for rabbits. Now it will be discussed how to make a cell for rabbits.
Certification criteria for cells
Initially, it is necessary to think about the correct location of the housing for animals. Cell can be placed:
- in the garden;
- in the yard;
- in room.
Often the combined animal content is used. For example: in winter - in the shed, and in the spring - outdoors. In any case, there should be no draft and reduced (or elevated) humidity. The speed of the air flow should be in the range of 0.3 m / s.
It is forbidden to install cells for rabbits near the swamps. This area is characterized by constant foggy weather with air humidity not exceeding 50%.
Very good option - placement of structures in the garden, where a large number of trees grow. They soften frost a little in the winter, saving rabbits from the cold.
Installation of cells in the utility room provides for clean air and proper lighting. Lighting devices intensity up to 40 LCs should operate for at least 16 hours per day.
Design Size Requirements
Its dimensions depend on climatic conditions. But not only. To a greater degree, the influence of the animal breed has an influence of the cells for rabbits.
So for rabbits, the mass of which does not exceed 5 kg, it is enough to equip a single-section dwelling. Its length is 0.9-1.1 m, and the width is 0.5-0.6 m. If large breeds of animal weighing one individual are grown more than 5 kg, it is better to build two-section cells up to 1.5 m long.
For small rabbit, the size of the structure depends on their numbers. In most cases, the cell has the following dimensions:
- length - 2-3 m;
- width - 1-1.2 m;
- height - 0.5-0.6 m.
Conditionally, the area of \u200b\u200bresidence of an adult share is:
- 0.6-0.7 m² - for a cell from one section;
- 0.8 m² - for two-section design.
Inventory for cells
By drawing up cell drawings for rabbits, must be taken into account the location of the feeders and drinking, of which animals will eat and drink. The most appropriate solution is to create embedded feeders and cream. They are installed in the front wall of the structure. The length of the feeders is up to 0.6 m. And their center of gravity must be in the inside so that the external sides of the feeders are pressed against the front walls of the cells.
With the appearance of small rabbits, the feeder and the drinking bowl are equipped with removable metal frames with partitions from the wire. So you can prevent animal from entering the feeder with subsequent damage to the inventory.
In the summer, for the grown young man, you can build a nursery for hay and herbs that have a folding batch cover. In the length of the nursery do, based on the livestock of rabbits. It is recommended to make a feeder with dividing elements in the form of a trough. From it, rabbits will be powered by concentrated feeds.
The group duct for walking is also made in the form of trough with separators so that rabbits cannot climb. Water container can be manufactured from conventional bottles. It is filled with water and through the neck with a rubber tube connects with a drinker. The upper edge of the drinker is located on the floor at a distance:
- 6-8 cm - for animals with the ranks;
- 9-11 cm - for young and adult rabbits.
Selection and blank material
In the manufacture of cells for rabbits, special attention is paid to the selection of high-quality material. The main parts of the design are recommended from the following materials:
- frame and supporting elements - from a wooden bar;
- walls - from boards or fat plywood;
- the roof is from slate or ondulin.
Also need:
- finishing wooden rails (3 cm wide);
- grid with small cells (up to 2 * 2 cm).
All elements from wood should be perfectly smooth and smooth. It is forbidden to use a tree with foreign, traumatic and protruding objects. For this reason, all bars and rails are carefully polished.
Creating a design
When the material is selected and all tools are prepared, you can proceed directly to such a process, how to build a cell for rabbits. It consists of such consistent actions:
- assembling frame frame (4 bars are connected to each other);
- fastening to a galvanized floor grid;
- installation of the posterior wall;
- setting the bottom for the nesting section (with grid floor grab);
- fastening the side walls;
- creating walls and covers for nesting sections;
- device of two sections by separating the cell by the transverse timber;
- production of 2 bunker feeders.
A partition is made between the nest section and the feeder, in which a hole with a diameter of 20 cm is cut at an altitude of up to 15 cm.
Next, the cage is needed to flip and secure the mesh with nails and rails. After that, bins for feeders are manufactured. Before the final installation, they are checked for normal performance.
The next stage is the creation of nurses intended for coarse feed. For this, rods are used from wire. If they are not, then you can use the grid, the sizes of the cells of which are 5 * 2 cm. From above, the retractable roofs-doors are mounted on the nursery and feeders.
The last thing to do is:
- make and put out outdoor doors (usually consist of two frames);
- on top of the design slate or Ondulin (if there is a need for this).
Some experts argue that for males can make a slightly smaller cell, rather than for rabbit. This corresponds to reality. But you should not overdo it. If the animals will not move sufficiently, they will become lazy. And this will lead to the fact that the offspring from such males can not be waited.
It is also worth noting that rabbits have a constant growth of the front incisors. For this reason, the main problem, which often occurs in the process of their content, is the painting by animals by wooden cell elements. In this regard, the most accessible parts of the design (edges of the feeders, lazes in the socket sections, frame elements, etc.) must be clogged with thin sheet gland.
