The 200 yuan variety, the little pudding is good
1. Basic concepts and mentality of hamster breeding:
(1) Please don’t think that “it” is just a As a mouse, life is not important.
(2) Please don’t be too hot for three minutes. If you want to raise it, please love it, pet it, and take care of it for a lifetime.
(3) Please do not abandon it arbitrarily or release it. This approach is tantamount to sentencing it to death.
(4) Please do your best to give your rats and pets the best enjoyment.
(5) Please don’t ignore it just because it bites you. Rats need time to accompany you.
(6) Please don’t think of it as a burden and spend more time with it!
(7) After the death of rats, please do not throw them away randomly, remember not to throw them into the trash can, and please prepare for their funeral.
(8) Please don’t be reluctant to take care of other rats in the home because of sadness after the rats are gone.
2. Eight taboos for raising hamsters:
(1) It is forbidden to feed human food. Too much salt and overly seasoned food will increase the burden on the rat's body.
(2) Direct contact with the sun is prohibited. Rats are very afraid of heat. When summer comes, please use heat sinks or marble to cool them down.
(3) Do not wash the rat’s body unless necessary.
(4) Please understand your own rat species. Rats that live alone or of different species are prohibited from being kept in cages.
(5) If you are not mentally prepared or financially capable, do not keep female rats and male rats in the same cage. The reproductive capacity of rats is very impressive.
(6) It is prohibited to use feed from unknown sources. If it is wormy or moldy, please discard it and do not feed it!
(7) It is forbidden to use newspapers, newspapers have too much ink.
(8) It is forbidden to keep rats in a space that is too small. The space must have at least water bottles, food bowls, small nests and other supplies.
3. Basic equipment for raising hamsters:
(1) Food bowl: anything can be used, including clean ashtrays, small boxes, etc... Pay attention to the edges and do not scratch the rats. .
(2) Rollers: Please choose seamless rollers and wheels with seams. Rats can easily get their feet stuck when running.
(3) Water bottle: Steel ball-type water bottles are the best, and there are also dropper-type water bottles. The most important consideration is that they will not leak.
(4) Small nests: You can make them yourself, using facial tissue boxes, paper boxes, etc., or you can use commercially available small nests. You can also use glass seasoning bottles, like the one I took with Laura The same kind as in the movie.
(5) Summer cooling supplies: marbles, heat sinks, ice cubes in plastic bottles, cold sofas, etc.
(7) Warm supplies in winter: cotton, thermal packs, socks, facial tissues.
(8) Cage: There are high-end rat cages on the market, with prices ranging from about 100 to 300. Now that I think about it, fish tanks are actually the most practical, as they are transparent on all sides, making it easier to watch the rats. And you don’t need to invest too much money. You can choose freely according to personal preference and acceptance. But make sure the rat has enough room to play. If you buy a high-end rat cage, the rollers will be installed inside the cage. If you use a fish tank, you can also buy rollers in one order.
The pet market on the top floor of New Mart and the hall of Ozubashi Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market sell rats and mice, cages, rollers, and water bottles. Just look there.
★Do not use wire mesh in the cage chassis, as rats and mice may easily suffer fractures and injuries
IV. Basic supplies for hamster feeding:
(1) Mat material: pine wood chips , poplar, laboratory sawdust, etc., which can keep mice warm and absorb water in winter.
(2) Fine cat litter: It is more suitable for use in summer. It is cool and condenses into lumps after absorbing water. Just scoop it up. (You can find it in supermarkets where you buy cat supplies. Don’t buy crystal cat litter. Ordinary ones will do, and gray granular ones will do.)
★For fine cat litter, please choose fine cat litter without perfume beads. !
(3) Corn Gent: used in summer, cool, but does not absorb water, slightly expensive (not recommended).
(4) As for the wood chip bedding material, please try not to use wood chips that contain fragrance and wood chips that have a strong smell from decoration products.
5. Precautions for rat mothers during the birth period:
(1) During pregnancy, female rats must be separated from male rats in separate cages. Male rats sometimes eat baby rats.
(2) Please help the mother mouse to replenish her body. Giving birth is very harmful to the body. You can use hemp seeds, nutritional paste, nutritional water, dried fish, mealworms, etc. to increase the nutrition of the mother mouse.
(3) During the period when the mouse is full moon, try not to change the items, mats, etc. in the cage of the mother mouse. It is easy to frighten the mother mouse, causing it to stop nursing the baby or to recycle (eat the mouse). Please do not touch the mice before they are one month old!
(4) After the mouse is one month old, it can grow hair, open its eyes and be weaned, then it can leave its mother. At this time, you can try to touch the baby mouse!
(5) It is best to wait until the full moon for mice before feeding mealworms, because mealworms have shells.
At this time, the baby’s digestive system is not complete, so do not feed mealworms as it may lead to indigestion.
(6) When the rat mother is pregnant, remember to pick up the roller. Sometimes the mother mouse will ignore breastfeeding in order to play with the roller.
6. Self-examination of the rat’s body:
(1) Teeth: The incisors of the rat are constantly growing, and sometimes the teeth are too long, making it impossible to eat. At this time, you can cut your own teeth. Please use small animal tooth-cutting equipment. If you are afraid of cutting, you can take it to the doctor for cutting.
(2) Scent gland: Only male rats have it. In the middle of the abdomen, there is a yellow thing, which is the scent gland. When male rats are in estrus, the smell here will be particularly strong. Sometimes the scent glands will accumulate too much. Remember to regularly use hydrogen peroxide mixed with salt water at a ratio of 1:10 to help them wipe it!
(3) Eyes: If the rat is healthy, its eyes should be very bright and shiny. If it is red, oily or has eye droppings, you should pay attention to it.
(4) Poop: Rat poop should be somewhat hard, about the size of a grain of rice, black and odorless. Sometimes it will turn green, red, etc. Don't be too nervous at this time. Please think back to whether there is green or red food in the rats' feed. If so, it is normal for the poop to be green. If the stool is soft or smelly, there is a risk of diarrhea. Diarrhea is a fatal disease for rats.
(5) Cheek pouch: Sometimes you need to pay attention to whether the contents of the cheek pouch have been eaten. If not, please do not give any more food. If food becomes rotten and smelly in the cheek pouch, it can easily lead to buccal pouchitis. Regularly pay attention to whether the cheek pouch has the odor of rotten food, and regularly help him clear out the food in the cheek pouch. Use salt water to mix water with a ratio of 1:3, and use a feeding syringe to insert into the cheek pouch to rinse.
(6) Coat color: Rats’ fur is usually soft and shiny. If there is hair loss, please pay attention to whether it is allergies.
(7) Body temperature: Generally, the body temperature of rats is slightly higher than our body temperature when touched by hand, but the feeling is not obvious. If it is obvious that the body temperature of rats is too high, it is very likely that the body temperature of rats is too high. A sign of heatstroke!
7. Dietary precautions:
(1) Please do not look at the mice as they are too cute, and give them too many sunflower seeds or high-calorie foods. The mice will easily gain weight and are not nutritious. Unbalanced. Rats that are overweight are prone to heat stroke in summer, their skin is too fat, and they are prone to hair loss. Sunflower seeds can be used as reward food for training rats. They absolutely love sunflower seeds.
(2) Please don’t think that rats don’t need to drink water! Water must be supplied and the drinking water must be changed every two or three days.
(3) Do not feed too much fruits and vegetables at one time, as this can easily lead to death from diarrhea. Most fruits and vegetables contain pesticides, so please wash them with clean water and wipe them dry before feeding.
(4) The snacks should be paired with the staple food. If you increase the snacks, please reduce the staple food. Do not give too many snacks. Rats that have gained weight will easily get sick.
(5) Please store feed and snacks in sealed jars, which can be placed in the refrigerator. Please discard food that breeds insects and ants.
(6) Mealworms are the favorite of mice, but the protein content is too high. Just give a few at a time, not too many.
(7) Birds’ whole grains are the best food for mice, just buy some mixed together. For example, corn flakes, buckwheat, oatmeal, raw peanuts, hemp seeds, rice, wheat, sorghum, raw melon seeds, you can increase the amount of oatmeal, buckwheat and hemp seeds appropriately.
Be careful with fruits and vegetables! ! ! Try to avoid feeding fruits and vegetables with high water content! ! ! You can leave Chinese cabbage leaves for a day or two. When the water in the leaves has almost evaporated, you can feed them to supplement vitamins for rats and mice. Rats like to eat lettuce~
8. Care and preventive measures for common hamster diseases
Ensure a reasonable diet, keep the environment dry and clean, and protect pets The safety of life and doing these "three guarantees" are the fundamental way to maintain the health of your pet.
1. Diarrhea and soft stool
Causes: improper diet, stress, sudden changes in weather, etc.
Nurse products:
Fresh Apple
MR brand intestinal liquid (defecation improvement liquid)
Method: The more apples, the better, as long as the mice are willing to eat them; add the intestinal liquid into a water bottle, and remember to change the water every day.
Environment: In addition to improper diet, stress is also one of the causes of diarrhea and soft stools. Therefore, during the recuperation period, try not to disturb the rat as much as possible and give it a peaceful environment.
2. Swollen and inflamed eyes
Causes: fighting and humid environment causing mold to breed in large quantities
Preventive measures: separate cages; frequently change sawdust, Clean the cage and keep the environment dry and ventilated
Nursing supplies:
Seth Eye Care Cleaning Solution (for small animals only) (normal saline can also be used for cleaning)
Chlortetracycline eye ointment
Cotton swabs
Living environment: If the cages are closed, please separate the cages immediately and isolate them separately; do not use sawdust as the bedding material, but use soft shredded paper towels; Rest in peace.
Method: Use a cotton swab dipped in care solution to help the rat clean its eyes every day, and then apply chlortetracycline eye ointment.
Note: Use chlortetracycline with caution. If rats accidentally eat too much residual ointment, it will cause renal failure in rats, so try not to leave any ointment residue.
3. Toe swelling
Causes:
1) The toes have been entangled
2) When the toenails are too long Crazy roller running
3) The toe is hooked or broken
4) Falling from a high place, etc.
Suggestions:
First of all, Check whether there are wounds or bleeding on the surface of the toes. If so, you need to undergo trauma treatment first.
Method: Dilute physiological saline + betadine in a ratio of 2:1 (if this dilution ratio causes great irritation to the rat, the dilution ratio can be increased) and disinfect the wound.
Note:
1) Rats tend to lick wounds or touch wounds and then grab things to eat. Eating iodine is harmful to the health of rats. Therefore, the diluent can be applied to the wound. Leave it on for 2-3 minutes until its sterilizing effect is fully exerted, then clean it with salt water.
2) Never use hydrogen peroxide or iodine to disinfect wounds. Their irritation is unbearable even for humans, let alone such weak rats. Try not to use alcohol, which is too irritating. Strong, if used, please be sure to dilute it!
3) Betadine and red syrup cannot be used at the same time! Because mixing the two will generate toxic mercury iodide, which not only makes the drug lose its bactericidal effect, but also has a strong irritating effect on the skin, mucous membranes and other tissues, causing skin redness, swelling, blistering, and wound ulceration.
Secondly, after confirming that there are no wounds on the surface or disinfecting,
1) Provide soft cushioning materials (such as shredded paper towels, cotton, etc.) to replace sawdust.
2) Remove the rollers
3) Recuperate quietly and wait for the bones to heal before walking again
4. Skin diseases
Causes: External parasites, allergies, trauma, bacterial or fungal infections, etc.
Preventive measures:
1) Selection of sawdust
Sawdust for rats and mice Most of them are imported. When purchasing, be sure to identify the type of wood to which the wood chips belong:
Never choose "Cedar" wood chips, because hamsters are attracted to "Cedar Oil" It is prone to allergies, resulting in large areas of hair loss on the body and skin cracking. The resulting dehydration and infection are fatal.
"Aspen" (poplar) wood chips also have a small chance of causing skin problems.
“Pine” wood chips are better for hamsters and are the type most compressed-packed wood chips are.
2) Keep the environment clean, dry, and ventilated
Change wood chips frequently and clean the cage;
Occasionally, you can bask in the sun for a few minutes in the evening;
If the drinking fountain is leaking, it should be replaced immediately;
Avoid using cages with wire cage bottoms and mesh rollers to reduce the chance of massive mold growth.
3) In terms of diet
Add more mineral-rich foods and multivitamins to increase resistance.
4) If a fight occurs, or if a rat in the same cage develops symptoms such as skin itching, it should be separated into separate cages immediately.
9. Rats’ body language
Rats can’t speak, so how can we understand them? In fact, rats have expressed some emotions without you knowing it. You should pay more attention to their body language to understand them!
The following is an explanation of the different behaviors of rats:
When relaxing
Preening their fur: Hamsters groom their fur in two situations.
——The first situation is in a relaxed state.
——Another situation is that after the owner touches them, the rats want to put their own scent on their bodies. Rats like the smell of themselves!
Ears down:
A hamster's ears pointing down indicates that it is less alert and is in a relaxed state. When rats are alert, their ears are usually erect and they are very aware of the faint sounds in the surrounding environment. Because mice have poor eyesight, they make up for it with sensitive little ears.
Crawling on the ground:
Seeing their laziness, you know that they are really at ease! Many hamsters sleep this way too.
Tired body:
When rats sleep, their bodies are tired, so as an owner, it is best not to wake them up if they see this!
When happy
Climb onto the hand:
When the rat is in a good mood, it will also climb up to its owner to coax him. When the owner reaches into the cage and gently calls the rat's name, and the rat crawls onto the owner's hand, it means they are in a good mood today, right?
Cage biting:
The reasons for biting the cage are not only for grinding teeth and boredom. On the other hand, rats will also use this action to express requests, such as wanting to come out to play or eat snacks.
Walking back and forth when stressed:
Don’t think it’s funny that Rats often walk on the same route. In fact, this is a sign of stress. When Scrat is stressed, they will walk back and forth along the same route. If owners see them behaving like this, they should pay more attention!
Intense wheel running:
Some rats use intense wheel running to vent their stress and dissatisfaction. Therefore, don’t think that running the wheel is a common thing. In fact, Shushu is telling you that he feels very uncomfortable.
When Angry
Reflexively Yell:
When hamsters feel threatened, they will assume this posture. Sometimes the owner suddenly reaches into the cage and scares them. They will also scream when threatened by their peers. Because they have no expertise in dealing with enemies, they can only pretend to be aggressive and scare away the enemies.
Stand up and grab upward with both hands:
This means "I don't like this place, I want to run away!". If a rat behaves like this in its own nest, the owner should pay attention to it.
Lie on the ground and walk when alert:
Sometimes rats will lower their bodies and walk when they are out of the cage to play. This means that they are in a state of alert, which is usually the case when they are in a strange place. When there is any disturbance, it will move forward at full speed.
Stand up, second hand forward:
Usually a sign of curiosity. They stood high because they wanted to observe whether there were enemies in all directions, or to detect whether there was any delicious food coming.
The nose keeps moving:
As mentioned before, mice have poor eyesight, so they use hearing, touch, and smell to make up for their lack of vision. When their noses are twitching, it means they want to spy on their surroundings.
10. Introduction to the body functions of hamsters
Eyes
The eyesight of rats is not good! You will find that if you hold him high. He still jumps down because he doesn't know where he is. So it’s best not to place the rat house in a high place!
Ears
God is fair. Because rats have poor eyesight. So I gave him a good pair of ears! Maple leaf rats can hear sound waves that we cannot hear. So don't bark loudly around him and don't place the rat house or rat rat near electrical appliances! Otherwise, it will cause damage to the rat’s hearing!
Teeth
A rat’s teeth will continue to grow throughout his life, so it is best to place something that can grind his teeth, such as a teething stick, in the rat’s house. Seed foods. Even chewing wood is fine! If the teeth are too long, you will be unable to eat and starve to death! So every once in a while. It is better to check the length of rat teeth to be safer!
Mouth
Have you discovered it? Rats have pouches on each side of their mouths for them to store food! Because the bladder is a closed space. Therefore, it is not suitable for storing easily fermented foods such as candies. Biscuits and other sweets. Or chocolate! If these things are left in the pouch for a long time, it will cause inflammation of the pouch and even death of rats and mice, with disastrous consequences! Be sure to pay attention!
Stink glands
The stink line of rats. The abdomen located underneath the body! You will see a hole in Rat Rat's belly. Sometimes they are yellow and smelly, that is their smelly threads and the smell they emit! Each rat has a different smell. They will paint their own territory with scent and distinguish other rats based on their smell. Still a stranger! If you want to know whether the female rat is in estrus. You can put it close to your genitals and smell it, you will get a faint burning smell!
limbs
The maple leaf mouse has four toes on its front feet. There are five toes on the back feet. If you find that their nails are too long, you can cut them off with nail clippers, but be careful. Otherwise, their toes may be cut off and bleed!
11. How to distinguish male from female
If you want the baby rat in your family to breed the next generation, of course you have to know whether the rat is a younger brother or a younger sister^^ But if you don’t want it If there are a lot of rat babies emerging, be sure to separate the males and females into separate cages!!
Male rat. The anus is far away from the place where you pee. Normal adult male rats will have eggs (that is, testicles).
. Female rat. The anus is close to the place where you pee, and there is a crack in the middle.
12. Fertility of Rats and Rats
Rats and rats also have a golden reproductive period just like humans.
Generally speaking, normal rats (whether male or female) become adults at three months, which means they can have sex and give birth to babies. However, it is best for female rats to wait until they are five to six months old before giving birth to rats. In this way, the body and stability of the mother rats have reached a certain level, and the rats born will be healthier. The rat's body will also recover better. When the female rat is over one year old, it is best not to let her give birth to any more babies, otherwise the baby will have a high chance of dying and the female rat is prone to dystocia or stillbirth!!
—— Maturation of adult rats
Male rats. When a male rat's balls come out, it is a symbol of his growth. In addition, another characteristic of adult rats is that the incense line (belly button) will begin to secrete fluid, and they will also start to compete for territory and fight. This is Please separate rats into separate cages. In addition, the male rat is in a state of wanting to have sex every day as soon as it starts to go into estrus, which means that the female rat can be pregnant at any time. If you don't want the female rat to become pregnant, you must separate the cage immediately.
Female rat. It is difficult to tell whether a female rat is an adult rat from its appearance. However, if the female rat grows up, it will begin to produce a secretion with a special smell (the smell of golden female rats is stronger and easy to detect) secreted from the genitals. In addition, female rats will also have menstruation, but it is only a trace amount and will not be noticed by others. Therefore, if you find bleeding in the buttocks or vagina of a female rat, you must check it immediately. A minor injury may be just trauma, but it may also be Uterine disease or anal prolapse can put the rat's life in danger!! Remember~
——Important information about breeding
Although being a rat grandma and grandpa is very useful There is a sense of accomplishment, but you need to consider whether you have the money, time and space to raise rat babies, so please think twice.
The male and female must be of the same breed.
That is to say, Campe → Campe, Gaca → Gaca, etc. Breeding different kinds of rats and mice will cause dystocia in the mother or deformed mice. Please understand the type of rats before breeding.
Not close relatives. That is to say, brothers, sisters or cousins ??cannot be matched, otherwise they will produce mice with deformities or genetic defects. (Actually, there is basically no problem in the first generation of close relatives, but it will be worse in the following generations~)
——Is Shushu pregnant?
Generally speaking, the figure of a female rat is relatively round. If the rat is fat, it is really difficult to tell whether she is pregnant.
1. Female rats strongly resist male rats
Female rats resist male rats desperately and will not let male rats approach. Female rats will even scream and run away or attack when male rats approach. Male rat. At this time, you should pay attention to the fact that the female rat may be pregnant, and the male rat needs to be isolated immediately!!
2. The female rat has a bulge in its abdomen.
Lightly touch the belly of the mother rat. If you feel small bulges and the mother rat is running around, that means the mother rat has a baby. However, this will not be noticed until the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Remember to only "touch lightly". If you use too much force, it may cause the mother to miscarry or harm the mouse!!!!
3. Female rats have a pear-shaped body shape.
Pay attention to the body shape of the female rat. The belly is particularly round. It is not the fat round shape, but a round shape that looks very strong^^" And pay attention, if the body of the female rat is The shape has changed like a pear (the lower abdomen is extremely round). The female rat is probably about to give birth. Be extra careful and be sure to isolate the male rat!!
——Growing What you need to know before and after
Bringing up babies is a very hard job. All the owner can do is to provide a good and appropriate environment for the mother mouse so that she can give birth safely
1. .Male rats must be isolated.
Before giving birth: male rats will cause mental stress in the female rats and may cause the female rats to miscarry.
After giving birth: male rats will cause the female rats to miscarry. Rats feel stressed and may cause the mother rat to abandon her offspring or kill her offspring. The most important thing is that the mother rat can become pregnant again immediately after giving birth, but continuous pregnancy and childbirth are extremely harmful to the mother rat's body. , will shorten the life span of the mother mouse, and the mice will die prematurely, so don’t be careful!!
2. Nutritional supplements
Whether it is before or after birth, nutrition is important. Supplementation is very important. Mealworms, boiled protein, animal cheese and other animal proteins can be given appropriately so that the mother rat can have enough physical strength to raise the rat babies before and after giving birth.
3. Quiet environment
After the mother rat gives birth to a baby, the environment must be kept quiet. Do not peek at the mice or disturb the mother rat, otherwise the mother rat may be abandoned. Or kill her offspring. When you find that a female rat has given birth to a baby, please move the cage to a quiet and dark place first. Try not to place it in a place where people come and go or next to other rat cages. If the weather is not hot, you can cover the cage. Put a piece of cloth on it so that the mother rat can raise her offspring more safely!! After the mother rat gives birth, don’t rush to change the sawdust. Just wait patiently until the mouse opens its eyes before changing it. At this time, all the owner can do is to keep the mother rat. Provide a safe environment and provide clean and sufficient feed and drinking water to the female rats every day. At this time, you can use disposable chopsticks for everything! Do not touch the rats or things around them directly with your hands! .
4. Mice forgotten on the way
Some foolish mother mice will drop their mice on the way and forget to take them home. The baby mouse may also be lost and cannot find its mother, because it is afraid that the baby mouse will catch a cold if it is away from its mother for too long, so it is necessary to find a way to return the mouse to its mother. Don't rush to "catch" the mouse back to the mother. Keep the mouse by your side to prevent the mouse from smelling like you. If the mother mouse doesn't recognize it, it will be a disaster. First, check to see if the mother mouse has really forgotten the mouse. If it does not take care of it after a while, the mother mouse will not recognize it. If you bring the mouse back, remember to use sanitary chopsticks to roll the mouse back to the mother mouse or use a spoon to fish the mouse back to the mother. Remember not to catch the baby mouse directly with your hands!!
——The growth process of baby mice~
Mice grow at an alarming rate, and different changes occur every day, but don’t disturb the mother mouse just for observation.
1. Newly born.
The newborn mice are all red, with no visible coat color, only some black eyes (red-eyed mice cannot see color in the eyes), and no ears. When it grows out, the mouse cannot be seen or heard at this time. It is completely like a small moving bright red meat ball.
2. One week after birth.
One week after birth, the mice still cannot see or hear, but at this time the mice already have lanugo, so it is easier to tell whether they look like their father or their mother. .
3. Two weeks after birth.
The coat color of the mouse will become more obvious two weeks after birth, and a small crack will appear in the ear area, which is a symbol of the mouse’s ears starting to grow. At this time, the mouse’s ears will begin to grow. You can hear some sounds, and the eyes will slowly open (it depends on the mouse, some mice have fully opened eyes at this time, and some only half open). Two-week-old mice will also start to eat some easier-to-gnaw feed, but at this time they still eat mother's milk as their main food.
Two-week-old mice have increased activity and often run out to explore on their own, so you can often see mother mice working very hard to find their babies.
4. Three weeks after birth.
Mice three weeks after birth are completely mouse-like, and because the teeth of the mice have grown by this time, they often bite the mother mice when sucking milk, so some mother mice are here When the mother mouse is young, she will start to be reluctant to breastfeed. However, since three-week-old mice can basically feed themselves, there is no need to worry too much if the mother mouse does not breastfeed.
5. One month after birth.
When mice are one month old, they should start preparing to be divided into cages. If the rat babies are not separated into separate cages when they are older, they may arouse the resentment of the mother rats, and some mother rats may even attack the mice. (Rat mothers are also divided into responsible and irresponsible ones~~~)
It may seem cruel to take the rat babies away from the mother rat, but this is quite normal in nature. When the mice grow up, the mother mice will drive the mice out of the nest and let them start their own families. (*Remember to soak some oatmeal in milk for the mother mice when they are pregnant and when they are just weaned. You can also eat this to increase nutrition. Remember to add the original oatmeal with milk and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. The thick kind)
13. How to develop feelings with mice and mice
Steps to develop feelings:
——Rest.
When Shushu comes home on the first day, don’t be too eager to play with him, because Shushu will be nervous after just changing to a new environment, so let Shushu rest for a day first.
——Habit. Starting from the second day, feed the rat at a fixed time every day, so that the rat will quickly get used to your hands and taste. The way to feed is to put the feed in the palm of your hand, put your hand quietly into the cage and stop without moving, let the rat approach slowly. Don't disturb the rat when it is eating, otherwise it will treat you. hands become wary. At the beginning, the rat may refuse to come near at all or run away immediately after taking a bite. Don’t be impatient at this time, take your time!!
——Get close.
After a week, when the rat is accustomed to the environment, you can move the rat to a larger cage. At this time, I think the rat should be more accustomed to taking food from your hand (if you are braver) The rat may have dared to crawl onto your hand), you can also try to let the rat eat on your hand (that is, hold the rat with your palm and let it eat on the palm, but be careful not to let the rat fall. When the time comes), while Shushu is eating, you can call his name softly and touch his head gently. Remember not to force it. If Shushu refuses or is scared, take your time. Each Shushu’s Different personalities, everything has to be figured out by the host himself!!
——Understand each other.
Let Shushu get used to the way you call him. Before Xiangyun wants to take Shushu out, he will knock on the cage door and call Shushu’s name, and let Shushu walk to the cage door on his own. Smell me before taking him out. The owner also needs to understand the ways rats like and dislike rats. For example, there is a rat in the Yun family. If you want to take him out of the cage, if you don’t call him to the door first and then hug him, he will bite him first^^" But wait until the rat After the rat and the owner can understand and trust each other (as if talking about the relationship between male and female friends^^"), ??they will definitely be sweeter with each other.
——Duoduo interaction establishment emotion.
Once Shushu recognizes you, he will give up on you.
I often see people asking in various discussion forums, why do rats bite me? In fact, it is normal for rats to bite people, because you are a huge, unknown object to them. So of course he must be on guard for his own safety, and Rat Rat's only weapon is his small but sharp teeth.
So don’t be sad or angry because you were bitten by a rat, and don’t give it away or abandon it for adoption. It takes time for people to get to know each other, let alone talk to them. Shushu likes to let Shushu eat from his hands. The most annoying foods for Shushu, such as melon seeds, peanuts, and mealworms, are usually fed by holding Shushu and letting Shushu sit on Yun's body. Go shopping on the street (be careful not to let Shushu fall off your body), so that Shushu will easily get used to the smell and sound of clouds.
Take care of Shushu in the 14th year of the year
< p>Taking care of a rat requires a lot of thought. With good care, a rat can live a long life.The average lifespan of rats is about two years, so rats over one and a half years old are considered rats. The condition that rats will suffer from is that their physical strength deteriorates significantly, and they spend most of their time. When sleeping, staggering, walking unsteadily, unable to bite hard food, etc., so it takes a lot of effort to take care of them!!
1. Pay special attention to cooling off and keeping warm, because Rats are less adaptable to the environment, so you need to pay special attention in summer and winter.
2. Rats’ teeth will become increasingly weak and unable to bite open grains and sunflower seeds, so rats’ food needs to be specially made. Shishi will help mice with bad teeth prepare star feed + experimental mouse feed mixed with ground food, and soak it in milk to make it easier for mice to eat. Shishi will also cut sunflower seeds, peanuts, etc. into pieces for mice to eat, and occasionally I will feed them some nutrients so that they have enough nutrition. If the rat's teeth are still very healthy, there is no need to prepare special feed for him. He only needs to provide more nutritious things to the rat. However, the owner should carefully observe the rat's eating situation and slowly adjust and improve it. To the best.
3. Because mice have little physical strength, it is best to place all facilities in the cage on a flat surface (ex. food bowl) to prevent mice from climbing up and down.
4. What mice need most is more love, care and patience from their owners!!
15. Regarding the problem of mother S not being able to take care of baby S
1: Find another mother who is breastfeeding, wrap your baby in that mother’s urine, and try them together, that is, find a wet nurse. But the wet nurse is not easy to find, and if she is If the wet nurse finds out, the baby in both litters may not be protected.
2: Raise it yourself and ensure the temperature. You can use a lamp to keep warm, or put a baby warmer in a CD box under the baby. Use an eye drop bottle (boiled in hot water) to fill diluted milk powder into the baby and give it to the baby once every 2 hours. It is very difficult to do! And as the baby grows, the amount will also increase.
