Considerations. The most common organisms in the normal bacterial flora that inhabits the large intestine are anaerobes (Bacteroides, gram-positive rods, and gram-positive cocci), gram-negative enteric organisms, and Enterococcus faecalis. Using differential selective media and enrichment cultures, normal flora can be differentiated.
Rabbits by nature are cold weather animals. They can easily tolerate temperatures at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower providing they have shelter from the wind and wet conditions. They have trouble tolerating temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit and must be kept out of direct sun light during the summer months.
The best way to know what is normal for your rabbit is to take its temperature at several different times (on different days and different hours). Also, becoming familiar and adept with the procedure of taking the temperature will reduce stress for both you and your rabbit and lend a âmore normalâ reading. rabbit with a slightly lowered temperature (99 Â°F or above) may warm up adequately if held on a lap and covered with a towel. As body temperature becomes lower, the rabbit becomes more limp and non-responsive and immediate measures need to be taken to bring the temperature up.
