兔子的居家環境 1.避免將兔籠放在屋內時常發生劇烈溫度變化的地方。 高溫與濕氣特別危險，但兔子、其他寵物、或者是人類並不需要一直維持在一定範圍的 溫度內，適當的氣溫變化有益健康，只是要避免劇烈的溫差。 (1. Avoid placing the cage in an area of your house where dramatic and extreme temperature fluctuations take place frequently. High heat and humidity are particularly dangerous. Rabbits, other pets, or humans for that matter do not need a constant temperature range all the time. Some fluctuation is healthy; just try to avoid the extremes.) 2.勿將兔籠暴曬在陽光直接照射下。 透過玻璃被放大的太陽光線會發燙且造成兔子中暑，即使透過紗窗，直接的陽光照射對 兔子還是危險的。 (2. Never expose the cage to direct sunlight. The sun's rays when magnified through glass can become hot and can cause heat stroke in a rabbit. Even direct sunlight through a window screen can be dangerous for a rabbit.) 3. 勿將兔籠放在暖氣或空調的通風口附近，因為那裡常發生突來的氣溫變化。 此外，當暖爐的風扇或空調開始運轉時，它會吹起已經落定的塵埃然後造成兔子的呼吸 道過敏。 (3. Don't put the cage near a heating or air-conditioning vent because sudden temperature changes take place there. In addition, when the fan on the furnace or air conditioner starts up, it blows out all the settled dust, which can create irritation in your pet's respiratory tract.) 4. 閣樓或地下室不適合放置兔籠。 上述地點的濕氣和通風不良對兔子的健康具有危險性。 (4. An attic or basement is no place for a rabbit cage. The dampness and lack of ventilation in these areas can prove hazardous to your pet's health.) 5. 兔籠應該位在光線充足且人會經過的地方，但不至於讓兔子不得安寧。 (5. The cage should be in a well-lit area where people come and go but shouldn't be in a spot where your rabbit never has any peace and quiet.) 6. 兔籠的位置應讓兔子一天至少處在8個小時的黑暗裡。 長時間的光照或是不固定的光線(某個晚上較晚，隔天較早)會影響兔子的內分泌系統， 因為兔子的內分泌運作會受曝光週期(photoperiods)的影響，所以在一天24小時當中 用布或毛巾蓋住籠子阻隔光線至少達8個鐘頭。 (6. Place the cage where the bunny can experience at least eight hours of darkness. Constant bright lighting with no relief or inconsistent lighting (one night up late, next night not) can wreak havoc on a rabbit's endocrine system, which has some dependency on photoperiods for its function. At the least, cover the cage with a heavy cloth or towel that blocks light for at least eight hours out of each 24-hour period.) 7. 勿將兔籠放在音響喇叭或電視附近，它們的噪音會把兔子逼瘋。 (7. Don't put the cage near stereo speakers or a TV; the noise may drive your rabbit out of his mind.) 以上譯自Rabbits For Dummies一書。 ps. 以上翻譯如有需糾正之處請回覆在下信箱，好立即改正，thanks. --
