Provide as comfortable a home as possible for your rabbit

I have a cow. Every time she gives birth, the calves are born blind and so weak that they cannot get up and suckle properly. Is there something I can do? I would suggest you stop forcing babies out of her. This looks like a Vitamin A deficiency. If the mother has it when she gets pregnant, the baby will have it as well. You should be giving the cow much better food — a lot of green fodder, maize and a mineral block. I found a bar of soap on the ground and it has teeth marks on it. What could that be? It means you have rats in the house. Rats either eat it or use it for nest construction. The basic materials for making soap bars are fat, salt. Start looking for the nest quickly. My rabbit has lost a patch of fur from his back. His skin shows and it is flaking. What could it be? Hair pulling is the most common reason, apart from illness, for loss of hair in rabbits. But this is during pregnancy. Illnesses that can cause hair loss include ringworm infections (also causes scaly skin); mites; trauma to the skin caused by wire floors and hard surfaces; skin infections. Make sure you are providing as comfortable a home as possible for your rabbit, to rule out the chance that this is caused by the rubbing of wire mesh or a dirty floor. How do I keep ants out of my house? Keep them out of the house by using sindoor lines around where they enter. To keep ants out, see where they come from and draw a lakshman rekha of chilli powder or haldi. Another thing they hate is peppermint oil. Just put two drops at the entrances of your house or wherever they enter from and see them disappear. I hate flies on the table. But it seems even dirtier to kill them just before laying the food. Is there any way to deal with them? Houseflies that hover over the table can be gotten rid of by wiping the table with a little salt water before and after the meal. In South India, when they eat on the ground the ritual is that before the meal is served the eater draws a line around his plate/thali, banana leaf with water. This serves the same purpose.
