When raising domesticated hares, it's essential to replicate their natural habitat as closely as possible. The environment should mimic the wild, allowing the hares to grow and thrive. Artificial feeding is necessary, but it should be done gradually to reduce their wild instincts over time. This helps them adapt better to captivity.
Artificial breeding of rabbits should ideally take place on the ground rather than in elevated cages. Sudden noises or disturbances can cause hares to panic and run into the sides of the cage, which may result in serious injuries or even death. Unlike wild rabbits, caged hares often struggle due to the stark difference in their living conditions, leading to stress, illness, and sometimes natural deaths. By using a ground-based "wild-style" enclosure, we can significantly reduce these risks and improve survival rates.
The rabbit house should be located in a quiet, well-drained area with good ventilation. A space of 2 to 4 square meters is sufficient for one pair of hares. The structure should include both indoor and outdoor sections. The outdoor area must be covered with a secure wire mesh to prevent escape. Inside, an artificial burrow should be constructed so that the hares have a safe place to hide when they feel threatened. Over time, the hare will consider this burrow its own nest. It’s important not to disturb the hares during feeding or cleaning, as this can cause unnecessary stress.
In terms of management, the rabbit house must remain clean and hygienic. Daily cleaning is essential, and fresh green feed and clean water should always be available. Contaminated food should never be given to hares, as it can introduce harmful bacteria. Each hutch should house only one male and one female hare. Keeping more than one pair can lead to aggression, interference with mating, and reduced breeding success. Hares are known for their poor maternal instincts, so careful observation is needed, especially during pregnancy and after birth.
Female hares typically have a gestation period of 31 to 35 days and give birth to 2 to 4 young. Newborns are born with their eyes open and fully furred, capable of moving around shortly after birth. However, due to weak mothering behavior, it's crucial to monitor the mother closely, especially during labor. Protection from predators like dogs and cats, as well as cold weather, is vital to ensure the survival of the young.
During lactation, the mother should be fed more green material to support milk production and meet the nutritional needs of her offspring. Hares and their young generally have strong immune systems and rarely require vaccinations or medications.
A key factor in successful hare keeping is sourcing purebred individuals. It usually takes over a year for a pair to fully adapt to domestic life. When purchasing hares, it's important to observe their appearance: they are small, typically weighing between 2 to 2.5 kilograms, with a yellowish coat mixed with soft, long white hairs. They tend to shed easily when handled and may scream when stressed.
Hares are slender, strong, and fast runners, making them highly agile. Newborns are active and alert, with open eyes and long fur. Their mothers do not exhibit typical maternal behaviors such as digging or gathering grass, so additional care is required to ensure the young survive.

This instrument can further develop software according to the needs of users, meet their measurement shape requirements more widely, and is equipped with various equipment components for users to choose and use according to their own requirements.
A Profilometer is a precision equipment used to measure the shape of various mechanical parts' lines and cross-sectional contours. In the bearing industry, it is possible to measure the contour shapes of various rolling elements and raceways, such as protrusion, contact angle, surface curvature radius, and reference part angle. In the mechanical industry, it is possible to measure the straightness, line profile, parallelism, inclination, and angle of various parts. Especially suitable for measuring the appearance of pistons in automobiles, tractors, and motorcycles. The production instruments of this research run enterprise are controlled by microcomputers, which automatically achieve measurement cycles, eliminate installation errors, directly display the shape and parameters of the measured parts, and can print graphics and data for product quality testing and process analysis.
