How to raise newborn bamboo rats

Clean the rodent house: clean the rodent pond 3 days after birth, clean up the feces and residues of the female bamboo rodent, and add some rice straw in the cushion. Feed: female bamboo rats will consume more nutrients after giving birth, so they can feed more protein-rich concentrate, such as soybeans and peanuts, and succulent coarse materials should also be diversified.

1. Symptoms of giving birth to female bamboo rats

1. Generally speaking, the time from pregnancy to litter birth is about 48 days. When the female bamboo rat is about to give birth, she will start to make a nest with grass, and some female bamboo rats will even carry the feed concentrate into the nest and store it.

2. when the female bamboo rat gives birth, there will be symptoms of pain and restlessness, so it is not allowed to catch it or move to another pool to raise it.

Second, the time when the female bamboo rat gives birth.

1. Although the vision of the female bamboo rat begins to deteriorate, its sense of smell is still very sensitive. When giving birth, the female bamboo rat should not go in and out of the delivery room frequently to avoid disturbing the female bamboo rat, causing the female bamboo rat to abandon or eat the baby.

2. The mother bamboo rat usually gives birth for 1-2 hours. It usually bites off the umbilical cord and eats the cell coat while giving birth. At the same time, it licks the mucus and blood stains on the baby, and takes care of the cub under its own belly.

3. Nursing care of female bamboo rats after giving birth.

1. Some female bamboo rats will bleed more when they give birth, so they need to give them hemostatic injections. Generally, phenolsulfonylethylamine injection can be used.

2. about 7 days after giving birth, brown sugar water or milk powder should be added in time to help the female bamboo rat recover more quickly. after some female bamboo rats give birth, the cubs will become fiercer in order to protect the cubs, so after the female bamboo rats have just given birth, the keeper can't catch the cubs.

3. Unless the female bamboo rat has more babies and needs to be farmed with other female bamboo rats, if you want to foster the cub of the female bamboo rat A to the female bamboo rat B, generally, when you are in foster care, the young mice should be stained with the urine of the female bamboo rat B, and then put the cubs in the foster pool.

Fourth, clean up the rat house

The main results are as follows: 1. The female bamboo rat should not clean the rat pool 3 days after birth to avoid disturbing the female bamboo rat. After waiting for 3 days, the mood of the male bamboo rat and the female bamboo rat is slightly stable, and then clean.

2. When cleaning, only the feces and residue of the female bamboo mouse need to be cleaned, and the straw in the nest does not need to be replaced and can be added properly.

3. The female bamboo rat will clean up the wet straw and put it aside, and then use the newly added straw to make a nest. The cleaning action should also be light to avoid disturbing the female bamboo rat.

5. Feed

1. In general, the nutrition consumption of female bamboo rats during lactation is also relatively large. The nutrition intake during lactation should not only meet the needs of female bamboo rats, but also ensure adequate milk secretion, so it is necessary to feed more protein-rich concentrate. For example, soybeans and peanuts, generally succulent coarse materials should also be diversified.

2. If the nutrition of the female bamboo rat is insufficient from the food, it will consume the nutrition stored by the female bamboo rat itself to supply the demand during the lactation period. If it takes a long time, it will lead to the decline of the female bamboo rat's physique, and at the same time, it will also affect the milk secretion of the female bamboo rat, resulting in the lack of milk and even the phenomenon of lack of milk, thus directly affecting the survival rate of the cub.

VI. Symptoms of milk deficiency in female bamboo rats

1. Whether the mother bamboo rat is short of milk or not can be judged by the growth and feces of the cub. If there is enough milk, the cub will not crawl and scream, sleep peacefully, and the skin color is very bright.

2. If there is not enough milk, the cubs will constantly change their nipples and squeak, and the female bamboo rats will be restless and restless.

3. Because when the milk of the female bamboo mouse is insufficient, the cubs will constantly bite the nipple of the female bamboo mouse, so it is easy to cause mastitis. If the young mice eat milk with mastitis, they will develop dysentery and easily lead to death.

4. If the culture pond is relatively wet, it means that the succulent coarse feed is fed too much, or the water in the concentrate is added too much, so it is necessary to slightly reduce the feeding of succulent coarse feed and reduce the amount of moisture in the concentrate.
