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.
Ice your ankle to prevent swelling and pain. 1  Apply ice to your ankle even if you plan to go to the doctor. 2  Ice will keep your ligaments from becoming inflamed and will stop any bleeding if you've torn a ligament. 3  Place a plastic bag with ice on your ankle for 15 to 20 minutes.
