澤西長毛兔作為長毛的寵物兔品種，護理的大難度就是夏季溫度的調控，澤西長毛兔不耐高溫，很容易中暑，也很容易發生疾病，下面介紹一下，澤西長毛兔夏季護理要點。

As a breed of pet rabbits with long hair, the major difficulty in caring for Jersey long haired rabbits is temperature control in summer. Jersey long haired rabbits are not resistant to high temperatures, are prone to heatstroke, and are also prone to diseases. Below are some key points for summer care of Jersey long haired rabbits.

一、防暑降溫

1、 Heatstroke prevention and cooling

適時提前剪毛。籠養兔，把兔籠放在陰涼、通風處;露天兔舍，可在兔舍周圍搭建涼棚或種植遮蔭樹木、花草等。如果舍內溫度過高，可在地面潑些涼水降溫，也可經常鋪墊干沙、爐渣或石灰，還可以在兔舍內放一張距地面8～10厘米的木板條床，引兔上床，以防兔舍潮濕而誘發疾病。

Prune in advance at appropriate times. Cage rabbits and place them in a cool and ventilated place; Outdoor rabbit sheds can be built around the rabbit shed or shaded with trees, flowers, and plants. If the temperature in the rabbit house is too high, you can splash some cold water on the ground to cool down, or you can often pave dry sand, slag or lime, or you can put a plank bed 8~10 cm from the ground in the rabbit house to lead the rabbits to bed, so as to prevent diseases caused by humidity in the rabbit house.

二、合理飼喂

2、 Reasonable feeding

夏季氣溫高，兔的食欲不好，喂料要做到“早餐早，午餐少，晚餐飽，夜加草”，把一天飼料的80%安排在早晨和晚上，中午適當多喂一些青綠多汁飼料，同時供給充足的清潔飲水，并在水中加入1%～2%的食鹽，以補充體內鹽分消耗，有利于防暑、解渴。

In summer, the temperature is high and the appetite of rabbits is not good. Feeding should be done early for breakfast, with less lunch, full for dinner, and grass added at night. 80% of the daily feed should be arranged in the morning and evening, and more green and juicy feed should be given at noon. At the same time, sufficient clean water should be provided, and 1% to 2% salt should be added to the water to supplement the salt consumption in the body, which is beneficial for preventing heatstroke and quenching thirst.

另外，要非常注意飼料衛生，做到不喂水草、不喂帶有泥漿的青料、不喂堆積發熱的飼料、不喂霉爛變質的飼料;必要時，可在飼料中拌入少量大蒜、洋蔥、韭菜或畜用土霉素，以防腹瀉、腸胃炎、球蟲病等疾病發生。

In addition, special attention should be paid to feed hygiene, such as not feeding aquatic plants, not feeding green feed with mud, not feeding feed with accumulated heat, and not feeding feed with moldy and spoiled feed; If necessary, a small amount of garlic, onions, chives, or animal tetracycline can be mixed into the feed to prevent diseases such as diarrhea, gastroenteritis, and coccidiosis.

三、防暑防病

3、 Preventing heatstroke and diseases

夏季溫度高，濕度大，病菌繁殖快，要保持兔舍清潔衛生，做到兔籠勤刷洗，底板勤更換，糞便勤清理，飼具勤消毒，防止疾病傳播。

In summer, the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and the bacteria multiply quickly. It is necessary to keep the rabbit house clean and hygienic, ensuring that the rabbit cage is frequently cleaned, the bottom plate is frequently replaced, feces are frequently cleaned, and feeding utensils are frequently disinfected to prevent the spread of diseases.
