1. Breeding environment: Guinea pigs are timid and easily frightened. When breeding, they should keep quiet, the breeding temperature should be kept at 20-24℃ and the humidity should be kept at 40-60%. At the same time, we should provide enough exercise space according to their weight. 2. Tableware selection: tableware should be cleaned once a week 1 time, the padding should be changed twice a week, and the room should be disinfected on time to ensure that the food pots are not eaten by guinea pigs, such as ceramic food pots and stainless steel food pots. 3. Reasonable feeding: feed 1 time in the morning and evening, and provide sufficient cellulose and vitamins in the feed to prevent guinea pigs from shedding or eating each other's hair.
First, what do novices need to pay attention to when raising guinea pigs?
Tips: Guinea pigs belong to wild protected animals. Protect wild animals from themselves, refuse to buy and sell wild animal products, and do not interfere with the free life of wild animals. At present, the consumption of precious and endangered wild animals in society is not only a bad social atmosphere, but also one of the reasons why illegal hunting and killing of precious and endangered wild animals are repeatedly prohibited. If you don't buy or sell, you won't be killed. Put an end to eating wild animals. They don't belong to the table.
1, cultural environment
(1) Guinea pigs are sensitive to hearing, timid and easily frightened, so they should keep quiet when breeding.
(2) The feeding temperature is controlled at 20-24℃ and the humidity is controlled at 40-60%. If the temperature reaches above 30℃, guinea pigs will lose weight, be prone to miscarriage and stillbirth, and the mortality rate will increase. When the temperature does not exceed 65438 05℃, the reproduction rate and growth rate will decrease.
(3) Provide enough exercise space. A guinea pig weighing 300 grams needs 300 square centimeters, and a guinea pig weighing 800 grams needs 1000 square centimeters.
(4) Control the breeding density, don't blindly increase the breeding quantity, and prevent guinea pigs from fighting with each other.
2, appliance selection
(1) Keep the feeding box clean, change the padding twice a week, clean the tableware 1 time, and disinfect the room on time.
(2) The material of the basin should be ensured not to be eaten by guinea pigs. It is recommended to use a ceramic basin or stainless steel basin with a certain weight.
(3) Use a spherical water dispenser to provide drinking water for guinea pigs to keep the box dry.
3, reasonable feeding
(1) Feed 1 time in the morning and evening, and feed more at night. It is forbidden to feed leek, ginger, onion, onion, garlic, chocolate and other foods.
(2) Increase the content of cellulose in the feed, so as to prevent guinea pigs from serious depilation or eating each other's hair.
(3) Guinea pigs with body weight 100g should provide vitamin C 4-5mg every day, and guinea pigs during pregnancy or lactation should provide vitamin C 4-5mg every day.
(4) Vitamin C can be provided by fresh and juicy green vegetables, and carrots and malt can be fed in northern areas after winter.
(5) Vitamin C tablets can also be added to drinking water, or vitamins, trace elements and amino acids can be added to mixed pellet feed instead of green feed.
4. reproduction
(1) The gestation period of guinea pigs is 59-72 days, and they can give birth to about 6 cubs every year. /kloc-after 0/hour, the young can stand and walk, and after a few hours, they can eat soft feed. After 2-3 days, they can eat green feed or mixed feed and suck milk under the care of the mother mouse.
(2) The larvae can reach sexual maturity in about 35 days, and 80 pairs of guinea pigs can be reproduced in 1 year.
Second, does raising guinea pigs bring viruses?
1. Raising guinea pigs may bring viruses, because guinea pigs are easy to carry parasites, Yersinia pestis and rabies virus. If people are exposed to these bacteria, they are easily infected.
2. Plague is a zoonotic infectious disease. This disease is usually prevalent in mice and other wild rodents, but it can also spread to humans.
3. Plague is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate. If not treated in time after suffering from bubonic plague, the mortality rate can reach 50-70%, and the septicemia type is close to 100%.
4. Do a good job of hygiene and cleaning during the breeding period, and ensure the health of guinea pigs is to ensure their own health.
