Matters needing attention in novice culture of bamboo rats

What should novice bamboo rats pay attention to?

Bamboo rat culture is a new special breeding industry, which originated after 1990, but it did not have a certain development until 2005, until the bamboo rat breeding industry reached a small peak in 2008, many people began to know bamboo rats and wanted to know about bamboo rat culture. there are also a small number of people slowly began the trial culture of bamboo rats, so there is a lack of provenance. At the same time, some people began to speculate on the price of bamboo mouse seedlings. The price of seedlings is also rising again and again.

However, a large number of bamboo rat trainees began to breed bamboo rats without knowing much about bamboo rodents. However, after introducing breeding rats at high prices, the number of bamboo rats they raised dropped sharply in less than a month or two months. Why? Because they do not understand breeding technology, they just look at the information from the Internet and listen to a few simple words from other farmers to talk about what bamboo rats should eat, what they should pay attention to, and what diseases they are easy to get. And then how to treat it. Wait / in fact, this is far from enough.

First of all, I think we should first understand bamboo rats, know their living habits, physiological characteristics, so as to "know their own enemies." Then, we can know how to build a pond, how to feed, how to manage, and how to prevent diseases.

So what are the living habits of bamboo rats? First of all, bamboo rats are also rats, and they have a common habit of mice: fear of light, fear of external shock, like cave life, night activities, and rest during the day. Knowing this, we will know how to build the pool. No matter whether it is a big pool or a small pool, it is best to have a "hole" to drill it. This "hole" has a different approach. You can build an internal and external pool, and the doors and holes of the two pools are connected, and you can also put some holes in a big pool for it to drill, such as hollow bricks, tile tubes and so on. As long as it can be drilled for him. And the light in the pool can't be too strong, just a little light. And to build in a relatively quiet place, it is too noisy, although on the surface, bamboo rats can live on, but it is disadvantageous in terms of growth and reproduction.

Let's take a look at the physiological characteristics of bamboo mice. The obvious physiological characteristics of bamboo mice are: they are used to eating foods with high fiber content, do not drink water directly, must grind their teeth, and their intestines are small, long and fragile. Knowing this, we will know when we feed the food. I have to feed food with high fiber content every day. For example, bamboo, mango, sugar cane, royal bamboo grass and other high-fiber foods, because bamboo rats do not drink water, but water is the source of life, life is inseparable from water, so we should give a certain amount of food with more water every day, such as sugar cane, royal bamboo grass, sweet potato, etc., but there are those that can not all give more water, we must also feed some less moisture, such as bamboo, mango, and so on, half of the two kinds of food. I once tried to feed him only food with more water and only food with less water. As a result, only one bamboo rat died. You can try if you don't believe me. This is what needs to be paid attention to in terms of bamboo rat food, and then there is the external environment of the bamboo rat pond, because bamboo rats are kept in captivity, different wild bamboo rats live in free wild bamboo rats, wild bamboo rats can find what they want to eat, but domestic bamboo rats, he can eat whatever you give him, and he can eat whatever you give him, nothing to choose from, and wild bamboo rats can hide from what they are afraid of, while domestic bamboo rats can hide from anything. You can't hide if you want to. Therefore, we should do a good job in the environment of the bamboo-rat pond, and the environment of the bamboo-rat pond should be quiet, weak light, suitable for cold and warm, aseptic and non-toxic, of which the first three items are not very difficult and easy to control, but the aseptic and non-toxic behind will take some thought. Because bacteria and viruses cannot be seen and touched, beginners must see that their bamboo mice are dead before they know that bacteria and viruses may be doing something wrong, so we must resolutely eliminate them by doing a good job in rat pond hygiene and regularly disinfecting bamboo rat ponds. Do not have to wait for bamboo rats to think of disinfection. This is the so-called "prevention". In fact, aquaculture is "prevention and cure". It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cure. It is absolutely impossible to learn to cure without knowing how to prevent and cure.
