The reason why bamboo mice will eat cubs and its solution

Bamboo rat breeding is a rising aquaculture industry in recent years, which should be reported in the media news, attracting many people to breed, but many novices have just come into contact with this industry and have little experience in this field, and they do not know how to solve many problems. Among them, when the novice breeds, it appears that the female bamboo rat eats the young mouse after giving birth, so what is this all about? How to solve the problem? Next, let's follow the pro-agricultural network to have a look.

1. External noise

The bamboo mouse is timid and easily frightened, and its living environment is relatively quiet, and the natural sound usually does not affect it, but if it is frightened by some movements and sounds from the outside world, it will cause the mother rat to eat its cubs. This is also the reason why farmers raise bamboo rats in the mountain environment.

2. Sanitary environment

Bamboo rat mainly eats bamboo and grass, it is relatively clean, if the breeding environment is poor, especially if it is not cleaned up for a long time, and a large amount of excrement accumulates, the gas produced will make the bamboo rat feel uneasy, so it will kill or ignore the cub, resulting in the death of the cub. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the breeding environment and strengthen ventilation.

3. Odor

Many animals rely on the smell to identify their children, how the cub is contaminated with the smell of other bamboo mice or people, it may not want or directly kill the cub. So when we breed, we should observe the cubs and try to wear gloves and other tools to isolate the smell. If, for some reason, the female bamboo mouse that gives birth to the cub dies, and the cub needs to be fed by another mother, the whole body of the cub can be smeared with the feces of the foster bamboo rat, which can deceive the bamboo rat. Over time, it will think that it is its own child.

4. Malnutrition

After giving birth, the bamboo mouse consumes too much nutrition. if it is not replenished for a while, it will eat the cub. At this time, due to the lack of nutrition, the milk supply is insufficient, and the cubs are constantly sucking, which makes the mother extremely uncomfortable, so she will ignore or kill the cub and then eat it. Therefore, the mother rat must be replenished in time after giving birth, and the concentrate should be half or 1/3 more than usual, and it should be balanced.

The above are the reasons and solutions for bamboo rats to eat cubs brought by the pro-agricultural network, and the reasons for mother rats to eat cubs are the above. Mastering good breeding techniques is the key point to improve the economic benefits of bamboo rat breeding.
