Breeding bamboo rats not only has low breeding cost, but also considerable profit.

Raising rats can also make you rich! You read it right. It's raising rats. However, it is not the mice we usually see, but bamboo rats.

Hunan Wanda special breeding professional cooperative, the introduction of bamboo rats, the current momentum is just right, has begun to breed a new generation. Recently, under the guidance of he Zong, the person in charge of the cooperative, the author walked into the bamboo rat breeding ground to enjoy the elegant demeanor of this "giant rat". In the farms, in square nests of about one square meter built with large ceramic tiles, pairs of bamboo mice either stand or lie lazily to rest. As soon as they see the newcomers, they immediately observe them with "sneaky eyebrows and mouse eyes." seeing that there was no movement, they went on with their own affairs.

The bamboo rat just introduced, the small bamboo rat weighs only about 400 grams, and the big one weighs only 750 grams. Up to now, the big ones have reached 2.5 kilograms, and some have weighed 3 kilograms. Now, big bamboo rats have begun to breed the next generation. Bamboo mice mate in a normal and natural way. after mating, they can give birth after 50 days of pregnancy and can give birth to three litters a year. Each litter can give birth to 1-5 bamboo mice.

The owner said that when raising bamboo rats, they are also constantly groping for experience. At the beginning of 2009, the first litter of bamboo mice, due to inexperience, thought that like other animals, they wiped the bamboo mice clean with a dishcloth and put them next to the mother mice, which was rejected by the mother mice because they were stained with human odor. the mother mouse refused to feed the baby, causing the bamboo mouse to starve to death.

Bamboo rats are timid by nature, and they are afraid when they are alarmed. When the keeper first came into contact with them, they also admitted that they were born and appeared to be very scared. It was only after a long time that it became quiet. Feeding bamboo rats is relatively convenient in terms of feed input. At present, their company only needs about 25 kilograms of bamboo a day, supplemented by rice bran mixed with rice. This rice is still the cheapest old rice, which saves a lot of cost. The bamboo mouse's two pairs of front teeth are extremely sharp, and pieces of bamboo are bitten into pieces in a twinkling of an eye, and the small iron plates used to hold rice are bitten out of shape by the bamboo mouse. It is understood that if a cat rashly enters the adult bamboo rat's nest, the result is that the cat will be bitten to death by the bamboo mouse.

Bamboo rats are covered with treasures. It is said that lobster, which must be served at banquets in the past, has been replaced by bamboo rat meat in Hunan. At present, a kilogram of bamboo rat meat costs 160 yuan, bamboo rat costs 40,000 yuan per kilogram, a mouse brush is worth thousands of yuan, and a rat skin coat costs tens of thousands of yuan.
