What kind of animal is a marmot?

Marmots, commonly known as "Hara", are herbivores that live mainly on grasslands. The individuals of marmots vary greatly with age and season, and their weight varies from a few jin to dozens of jin. Marmots are hibernating animals that often hibernate in caves from October to April of the following year.

The marmot is not handsome, with a wide and short head, small and round ears, short limbs and a stout body. That appearance and dignity can not be compared with the light, lively, elegant, lovely little squirrel. Therefore, people do not spoil it.

2. What are the key points of the management technology of the marmot?

1. The breeding site must be dry and ventilated.

The name of marmots indicates that they live in dry and ventilated places, so when we build breeding grounds for marmots, we should be careful not to choose too damp, and there are many uneven places. we should make sure that the vicinity of the farm is very quiet, no noise, no close to other farms, far away from factories, urban areas and other noisy places. We should prevent marmots from growing if they are frightened in the process of breeding, and marmots can not be mixed when they are farmed. Marmots are aggressive to a certain extent, and it is easy to reduce our economic benefits if they are mixed.

We can make a good breeding plan according to the expected number of breeding. We can first line up in two rows. We control the depth of the cellar according to the local weather conditions, as well as the permafrost of the soil and other reasons. We need to ensure that each marmot has its full living space. We should set up exits about 18cm above the ground, and do not use fragile things as the foundation. We can make a large activity room for marmots on the ground so that they can fully shine in the sun. Also eat, because they have the habit of digging the ground, so be sure to dig ditches between the activity room and the cellar, and remember to seal them with cement to prevent them from escaping.

2. Feeding

Marmots are typical herbivores. When we raise them, we can use forage to raise them, and we can choose food such as wheat. Marmots eat a small amount of food, but they need to eat a lot of meals when they eat. Therefore, it is very important for us to choose the feed of marmots. We must pay attention to the quality of the feed. We must not choose moldy or spoiled feed, otherwise they will produce gastrointestinal diseases and thus get sick. This is very bad for their growth, and we remember to give them fresh feed as much as possible, which helps to maintain comprehensive nutrition.

3. Disease control

It can be said that the disease resistance of marmots is relatively strong, but if it is not well managed, there will also be some diseases. We must manage their feed well and disinfect the places where they live to prevent them from carrying germs anywhere. it is necessary to reduce the incidence of marmots to avoid some accidental losses.
