泽西长毛兔作为长毛的宠物兔品种，护理的大难度就是夏季温度的调控，泽西长毛兔不耐高温，很容易中暑，也很容易发生疾病，下面介绍一下，泽西长毛兔夏季护理要点。

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、防暑降温

1、 Heatstroke prevention and cooling

适时提前剪毛。笼养兔，把兔笼放在阴凉、通风处;露天兔舍，可在兔舍周围搭建凉棚或种植遮荫树木、花草等。如果舍内温度过高，可在地面泼些凉水降温，也可经常铺垫干沙、炉渣或石灰，还可以在兔舍内放一张距地面8～10厘米的木板条床，引兔上床，以防兔舍潮湿而诱发疾病。

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、合理饲喂

2、 Reasonable feeding

夏季气温高，兔的食欲不好，喂料要做到“早餐早，午餐少，晚餐饱，夜加草”，把饲料的80%安排在早晨和晚上，中午适当多喂一些青绿多汁饲料，同时供给充足的清洁饮水，并在水中加入1%～2%的食盐，以补充体内盐分消耗，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，要特别注意饲料卫生，做到不喂水草、不喂带有泥浆的青料、不喂堆积发热的饲料、不喂霉烂变质的饲料;必要时，可在饲料中拌入少量大蒜、洋葱、韭菜或畜用土霉素，以防腹泻、肠胃炎、球虫病等疾病发生。

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

夏季温度高，湿度大，病菌繁殖快，要保持兔舍清洁卫生，做到兔笼勤刷洗，底板勤更换，粪便勤清理，饲具勤，防止疾病传播。

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.
