The holes on the partition net 12 are small, which can support the rabbit and make it move more comfortably in the cage. And a feeding box 13 is placed on the cage door 11 to put feed into it for the rabbit to eat;

[0027] A metering mechanism, including a movable plate 2, the movable plate 2 is movably connected to the inner surface of the feeding box 13, a chute 21 is opened on the surface of the movable plate 2, a pull rod 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 2, a limiting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the feeding box 13, a mounting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the feeding box 13, a short screw 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 24, and an abutting block 26 is installed on the surface of the short screw 25. Under the action of the movable plate 2, it is possible to control the feed put into the feeding box 13 and avoid the situation of wasting too much feed at one time.

[0028] Further, the movable plate 2 is snap-connected to the surface of the limit plate 23. Both ends of the pull rod 22 are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 2. There are two groups of limit plates 23, and the two groups of limit plates 23 are installed on both sides of the movable plate 2. The mounting plate 24 is abutted and connected to the surface of the movable plate 2. Through the connection between the movable plate 2 and the pull rod 22, the pulling of the pull rod 22 can drive the movement of the movable plate 2, and under the action of the limit plate 23, the movable plate 2 can be limited to move on the surfaces of the feeding box 13 and the limit plate 23.

[0029] Further, the short screw rod 25 is slidably connected to the surface of the chute 21. One end of the short screw rod 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 24, and the other end of the short screw rod 25 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the abutting block 26. The abutting block 26 is abutted and connected to the surface of the movable plate 2. Under the action of the mounting plate 24, the installation of the short screw rod 25 and the abutting block 26 can be realized, and the short screw rod 25 penetrates through the surface of the movable plate 2 through the chute 21. At the same time, under the action of the abutting block 26, the moved movable plate 2 can be limited and fixed.

[0030] Further, a collection mechanism is arranged on the surface of the cage body 1. The collection mechanism includes a collection box 3. The collection box 3 is abutted and connected to the bottom surface of the cage body 1. A clamping plate 31 is movably connected to the surface of the cage body 1. A rotating rod 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping plate 31. A torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 32. A mounting block 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the collection box 3. A rotating hole 35 is opened inside the mounting block 34. The collection box 3 can be used to collect the excrement discharged by the rabbits in the cage body 1, avoiding the excrement directly falling on the ground and being difficult to clean.

[0031] Further, there are two groups of clamping plates 31, and the two groups of clamping plates 31 are arranged on both sides of the collection box 3. One side of the clamping plate 31 is installed on the surface of the collection box 3, and the other side of the clamping plate 31 is snap-connected to the surface of the cage body 1. The cross section of the clamping plate 31 is in the shape of "J". There are two groups of rotating rods 32. Through the connection of the clamping plate 31, the collection box 3 can be installed on the surface of the cage body 1, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the collection box 3.

[0032] Further, the two groups of rotating rods 32 are installed on both sides of the clamping plate 31. The rotating rods 32 are rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating hole 35. One end of the torsion spring 33 is abutted and connected to the surface of the collection box 3, and the other end of the torsion spring 33 is abutted and connected to the surface of the clamping plate 31. Under the connection of the rotating rod 32 and the rotating hole 35, the clamping plate 31 rotates around the rotating rod 32 as the center. At the same time, under the action of the two groups of torsion springs 33, a torsional force can be applied to the clamping plate 31 to make it always rotate towards one side of the cage body 1.

[0033] Furthermore, two groups of mounting blocks 34 are provided, and the two groups of mounting blocks 34 are installed on both sides of the locking plate 31. The diameter of the rotating hole 35 is larger than the diameter of the rotating rod 32. Under the action of the mounting blocks 34, the rotating rod 32 is installed, and then the locking plate 31 is installed on the surface of the collection box 3.

[0034] Working principle: When feeding rabbits, first put the feed into the feeding box 13 outside the cage 1, and rotate the abutting block 26 so that it no longer abuts on the movable plate 2, and at the same time pull the pull rod 22 to drive the movable plate 2 to slide along the surface of the feeding box 13 and the limiting plate 23, and the movable plate 2 slides on the surface of the short screw 25 through the slide groove 21. At this time, the abutting block 26 can be twisted again to abut against the movable plate 2 again, and when a certain amount of feed slowly flows into the feeding box 13 in the cage 1 through the movable plate 2, the rabbit eats it, and the movable plate 2 is closed again after part of the feed is put in, and the other part of the feed is blocked in the feeding box 13 outside the cage 1 for the next feeding.

[0035] Before putting the rabbit in the cage, the collecting box 3 is first pressed against the bottom surface of the cage body 1, and the engaging plates 31 on both sides of the collecting box 3 are moved to make it rotate around the rotating rod 32. The rotating rod 32 rotates on the surface of the rotating hole 35, and the torsion spring 33 is twisted. At this time, the engaging plate 31 is pressed and is stuck on the surface of the cage body 1 under the action of the torsion force applied by the torsion spring 33, so that the collecting box 3 is installed, and the rabbit excrement can be collected.
