Breeding is a year round activity in NZ. A female rabbit can produce 25-40 young per year and young become sexually mature at 3-4 months. Rabbits eat grasses, clover, buds and seeds of many annuals.
The best way to control and reduce swelling is to ice and elevate your ankle. Applying ice will cause blood vessels to constrict so there is not as much fluid leaking out of the injured structures, which causes swelling. Ice can be applied for 20 minutes at a time while you are elevating the ankle.
Examples include: 1  Rest. Keep weight off your ankle as much as possible. 2  Ice. Place an ice pack or bag of frozen peas on your ankle for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day. 3  Compression. Use a compression bandage to reduce swelling.  Elevation. Elevate your foot above the level of your heart to help reduce 1  swelling. Over-the-counter pain medications.
