It is not uncommon for rabbits to chew their feet, and some of them are bloody and bloody. Generally, this situation mostly occurs in rabbits whose living environment is not very good and relatively humid, because rabbits usually bite their feet because they have parasites or are infected with skin diseases, and the skin shows signs of oxygenation, so they bite. . Of course, this is not absolute. It is also possible that the rabbit's feet are injured, so they will habitually lick or bite the injured area.

We will find that even if rabbits have large wounds on their feet, they may still continue to chew. Biting this part is due to terminal neuroinflammation caused by dystrophy of the terminal limbs of rabbits. The products of tissue metabolism are accumulated in the injured part and cannot be discharged, causing itching. Just like scratching to relieve itching, the rabbit bites the toes. In order to relieve itching, this is mostly related to poor blood circulation after limb injury. In addition, when rabbits suffer from severe foot dermatitis or athlete's foot, they may bite their toes to varying degrees. In short, once these diseases occur, they will seriously affect the rabbit's food intake and rest. Therefore, to prevent and treat related diseases such as rabbits chewing their feet, we should identify the causes according to different situations and take effective measures to treat themGenerally, there are several reasons why rabbits chew their own feet: 1. Biting caused by trauma to the limbs: In this case, the hair around the injured area should be cleaned first, otherwise the hair will become adherent, which will easily provide a good living environment for bacteria. After removing the hair, clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide and saline, apply Yunnan Baiyao, penicillin powder or other anti-inflammatory powder, etc., then wrap it, and put the rabbit in a fixed place to rest for 2 to 3 days. If the wound is large, The dressing should be changed and cleaned every day, and the wound should be allowed to move freely after it has basically healed. 2. Rabbit foot dermatitis induces biting: This situation is directly related to the quality of the cage bottom board inhabited. Therefore, when making the floor of a bamboo cage, the bamboo boards and other materials used should be kept flat, straight, and stiff, and the gap should be of a moderate size and width. It should be about 1.2 centimeters, which means that rabbit droppings can leak out smoothly, and it is strictly required to leave no nail heads. , burrs, keep the bamboo board clean and dry at ordinary times to prevent moisture and fecal accumulation that may induce diseases. Practice has proven that the cage floor is made of bamboo and wood, with the front 2/3 being wooden boards and the back 1/3 being bamboo boards (leaving a gap for feces leakage). This can reduce friction on the soles of the feet and effectively prevent the occurrence of foot dermatitis. In addition, regular immunization of rabbits with Staphylococcus vaccines can also improve disease resistance and prevent problems before they occur. 3. Scabies: This disease is usually caused by poor feeding environment or improper care. In addition to keeping the cage and floor clean and dry, regular oral administration and injection of avermectin and ivermectin can effectively prevent rabbit scabies. 4. Extremely large doses of medication: All medicines are three-thirds poisonous, especially anthelmintic drugs. Extremely large doses can easily cause inflammation of nerve endings and can also cause rabbits to chew their toes.
