It is convenient to rabbits to be in rooms of blindazhny type of the most adapted as for winter, so for summer a soderzhayoniya. To them dig out a hole of 2×3 m, depth of 1,5-1,7 m. Three walls its steep, and in the fourth do an inclined exit in width of 0,8 m. From above on a hole stack laths, poles or metal pipes, it is possible corners, then in the cross-section direction put brushwood, a cane or other improvised material and fill a layer of the earth 50-60 see. In the cut-off part of a wall establish a strong door with a manhole of 25×25 cm through which rabbits will leave on inclined on a surface in the afternoon. Before a manhole arrange porozhek that dirt there was less brought. From the interior of a door a manhole for the night close a guard.
The door can be closed on dead locks and to open once a week.
With a small platform before an entrance in it it is necessary to enclose the blindage territory with a metal grid. In such, a room it is possible soderzhat a uterus single, sukrolny and podsosny with an issue to its depriving. In total here at the same time can be to 15 uterus and to 50 heads molodnyaka.
In a blindage rabbits dig long horizontal holes, more often with two exits. In these holes of a female arrange nests before okroly and vystilayut their own down, removing from a paunch. For the maintenance of males use cages.
Rabbits during the winter period extremely perniciously are affected by dirt, a smell of own dung and especially dampness from urine if to contain them in cages. Therefore such device of a floor at which there would be a free stack of urine and a skatyvaniye a calla, and also its easy cleaning should become the major care.
Cages it is necessary to have on an open place where there is a lot of air and light. In the winter some krolikovody advise to put cages with rabbits in the closed rooms protected from a wind, a frost, snow. Such council as it is proved by practice, in a root is incorrect. The cold even is useful to a rabbit, sposobstvuya to the most magnificent development of its fur. Certainly, in strong morozy in a cage it needs to give more than a soft dry laying.
For the winter it is necessary for rabbits to prepare the most raznoobyorazny forages: rough, juicy, concentrated. In October-November in the Crimea continue to prepare a vetochny forage and fallen-down leaf of trees: acacias, an ash-tree, a willow, an apple-tree, a pear, plum, an apricot, etc. They contain the tannins which are extremely necessary for an organism of small animals in the structure, and they gnaw branches of trees that promotes grinding of a foreteeth at them.
During the winter period when feeding rabbits in house conditions a znayochitelny part of the forages which have been especially concentrated, it is possible to replace with food wastes. As them bread kuyosochka, porridge, pasta, carrots and cabbage scraps, the remains of first courses can be used.
It is necessary to feed rabbits on norms and diets which during zimyony time increase by 10-15 percent.
