How to raise a golden bear

Golden bear is a kind of hamster, originating from Syria, Lebanon, Israel and other places. It officially became a pet classification after it was introduced to the United States in 1938. In the 1990s, it was introduced and raised in Jiande, Zhejiang, China, with a grumpy character and brown hair. Some have brown spots or white hair, and can be raised everywhere. Let's take a look at how to raise golden bear hamsters.

Golden bear culture environment

The most suitable temperature for golden bear life is 20: 28 ℃. Avoid direct sunlight or strong wind, but pay attention to ventilation. Do not be too close to televisions, stereos and computers. Golden bears can hear sounds that cannot be heard by humans. Radiation and noise should be avoided. It is best not to turn on the air conditioner in summer, because switching the air conditioner on and off will make the temperature difference in the house too large. Golden bears are very sensitive to temperature and are easy to catch colds. Spread more cushion materials such as sawdust, configure wooden or grass huts for hamsters to keep warm, or give more cotton for hamsters to make their own nests, skimmed cotton is fine, preferably with natural cotton. The easiest way is to put the whole cage into a cardboard box or plastic box, but pay attention to ventilation and do not use articles made of cotton thread as a nest. Hamsters will make cotton huts or quilts and then go to sleep, but because of this, some unbroken cotton threads will wrap around their bare feet or other parts, and some dangerously wrapped around their necks can cause hamsters to suffocate to death. So don't put any knitting.

Golden bear breeding equipment

1. Cages: in summer, please use ventilated wire cages, or semi-iron and semi-plastic cages, such as field cages, etc., please pay attention to keep warm in winter, all-plastic cages are more suitable in winter. Do not use barbed wire on the cage chassis. Golden bears are prone to fracture and injury.

2. Food basin: most cages have their own food basins. If you need to choose and buy by yourself, you can choose all kinds of small containers, as long as they are not easy to knock over, and the edges are not too high, otherwise the golden bear cannot climb in. the commonly used containers are glass ashtrays, soy sauce plates, all kinds of small bowls, microwave boxes and so on.

3. Drinking fountains: most cages have their own drinking fountains, because golden bears need to drink water, and stainless steel beads are generally designed at the front end of the drinking fountain. Pay attention to testing whether there is water leakage when buying. Do not directly take a bowl to hold water, because golden bears will wet their hair when drinking water, or go into swimming, and it is easy to catch cold and get sick.

4. Toilet: the general plastic box with wood grains is a relatively simple toilet. Take out the wood grains to clean or replace them every day, because some golden bears will eat cat litter, which is easy to die by mistake.

5. Running wheel: most cages have their own running wheels, because wild golden bears run 20 kilometers a day and can run 3000 laps every night, so a moderate amount of exercise is very important for golden bears. Golden bears will be under too much pressure and bite the cage, so careful owners should give golden bears a running wheel. When buying, you should choose a seamless running wheel, so that the golden bear is not easy to get hurt. If the golden bear is larger, so it is generally necessary to buy another running wheel, the diameter of the running wheel should be more than 17cm.

6. Grindstone / stick: the golden bear's teeth will continue to grow, so you need to use a grinding stick to grind out the overlong teeth.

7. Huts: the huts are ceramic, wooden, straw and plastic. Golden Bear likes it very much, because Golden Bear is an animal that likes to dig holes and should be equipped with a cabin if possible.

8. Bedding: sawdust can be used for short-haired bedding, and corncob + forage is the best cushion for long-haired bedding. Although individual long-haired bears do not stick when they are young or as adults, they are not worth using. In addition, bears can go to the toilet by themselves. They are very clean. So the toilet had better use corncob, the sawdust is too light, can not play the role of toilet cushion, and it is easy to be taken away as a warm object. In winter, Timothy's forage grass + corncob + cotton or paper towels (kitchen paper towels) are available. It is very warm. If you want to use sawdust, you can use sawdust, because the mother's long-haired bear is short-haired. You should pay attention when using paper cushions. Do not choose printed paper. Poisonous ink will poison the golden bear.
