Some people get decorative rabbits. These beautiful, darling,s good-natured beings bring great joy to owners, and at the same time it is much easier to support them, than, for example, a dog. The rabbit should not be walked several times a day and on food leaves much less money. At the same time, contents is also accompanied by the known efforts and problems. For example, happens so that he suddenly ceases to eat.

The rabbit can refuse food for many reasons. For example, if he is incorrectly fed. Sometimes the loving owners, trying to please the pet, reduce to a minimum in its diet a hay share, placing emphasis on juicy sterns, first of all, vegetables and fruit. It seems to them that they thereby show the love and care: so rough hay and tasteless. And everything turns out just the opposite: they do harm to health of a rabbit. The fact is that for normal functioning of his digestive tract, the rabbit just has to eat such rough forage as hay. Of course, it is useful for it to receive also green, juicy forages, such as fresh grass, vegetables and fruit, but only as addition to hay. That is, if he at such diet began to refuse food, it can be sign of disorder of his digestive system. It is recommended to show an animal to the veterinarian and to introduce necessary amendments in food. Maybe so: owners feed the pet correctly, and he, nevertheless, began to refuse food. In this case, it is also necessary to show a small animal to the veterinarian, first of all, for check of correctness of a bite of teeth. Sometimes happens so that on back molars outgrowths - "hooks", "thorns" because of which the rabbit cannot just fray food are formed. Naturally, at him because of it the appetite vanishes. After removal of the formed outgrowths everything quickly returns to normal. Sometimes the drinking bowl becomes a reason for refusal of food. More precisely, the malfunctions in it preventing free water inflow. And for rabbits very important that they were round the clock provided with fresh water. Check whether everything as it should be with a drinking bowl, if necessary, eliminate malfunction, or get new. Anyway, remember that refusal of food – often the only indicator that with a small animal something not as it should be. And as many diseases of pets develop very quickly and, unfortunately, often come to an end with a lethal outcome, take for the rule: in such cases it is better to be reinsured and not to tighten on a visit to the veterinarian!
