① In order to ensure that the rabbit house is warm in winter and cool in summer, the direction of building the house should face south; Materials and methods for building houses should have good thermal insulation performance in temperate regions and in tropical and subtropical regions.
(2) The building should strive to make the ground and walls smooth, which is convenient for disinfection, maintenance and washing, and set up a dung ditch for easy discharge.
(3) In areas with abundant rainfall, the front and rear eaves of the roof should be lengthened when building a house to prevent the walls from being damp or rain from blowing into the rabbit house; Indoor upper and lower windows or ventilation window can be set up, and exhaust fans can be set up when conditions permit to eliminate moisture in time. Where the groundwater level is high, the foundation should be raised to make the indoor ground 30 cm higher than the horizontal ground, or an elevated rabbit cage or drainage ditch should be set up.
(4) Rabbits are prone to many diseases, and the requirements for purifying the small environment are very strict. Therefore, the rabbit shed is too large, and even a large rabbit farm should advocate unit feeding, that is, 50 ~ 100 rabbits are raised in each rabbit shed, and the number of rabbits raised in each rabbit shed is less in poor control conditions.
Snakes, rats, weasels, wolves, dogs, owls and cats are all harmful to rabbits, especially to young rabbits and young rabbits. Therefore, when building a shed, it should be considered that it is beneficial to resist the injury of animals, and the screen window of the rabbit shed should be set with coarse eyes.
⑥ Building houses should conform to the behavior and physiological characteristics of rabbits, create a comfortable environment, and pay attention to the benefits of raising rabbits. According to the breeding type, variety, task and economic situation, determine the form, structure and facilities of rabbit house, so as to be economical and practical and adapt to local conditions.
