If it is too late to prepare a nest for it when you buy it, you can find a box (wood or plastic or even a cardboard box) and put some clean rags in it. Because newspaper ink is not good for small animals, it is best not to use it. This box is only temporary, because when it adapts to the environment and gets bolder, it will start grinding its teeth with the box and maybe even slip out. So you must prepare a suitable strong box to make a nest for it. You can buy a small animal layer in the market, with a tray at the bottom and barbed wire in the middle. The advantage is that it is convenient to clean, but the disadvantage is that the feet of Dutch rats are easily entangled in iron wires and cause injuries. However, the feeding box of the Dutch rat has only one floor, which is slightly larger and has an opening at the top. When feeding with it, the inside must be covered with sawdust. , so that the activities of rats are convenient. The disadvantage is that the excrement is not easy to clean, and the padding must be cleaned and replaced frequently. Pay attention to the feeding box as large as possible, otherwise you will get fat because you don't get enough exercise, and even cause mental stress and other problems. This is especially true when multiple animals are raised. Store away from cats and dogs, avoid direct sunlight, wind and rain, and pay attention to ventilation.
Food basin: avoid choosing plastic or other materials that will be chewed. Should choose ceramic or stainless steel texture, a certain weight is not easy to be knocked over.
1. Rats are generally fat and generally don't stand up. Many people sometimes like to lure them to stand up with food. Dutch mice will stand on their backs to get enough food, and sometimes even fall on their backs, but I don't recommend this, at least don't let them fall on their backs. It may not be a big problem when I was a child, but after half a year, I became fat and choked easily. I've had such a thing myself, and it almost scared me to death, so be careful not to let their heads fall back when feeding them.
How do Dutch rats bathe?
Generally speaking, because the epidermis of animals has oil to protect the skin, taking a bath often will damage the health of animals; Moreover, the Dutch mouse can clean itself, so the owner had better be diligent in cleaning the living environment of the Dutch mouse, protect the health of the Dutch mouse, and don't take a bath often. What should I do if I have to take a bath?
Local cleaning:
Some people will take the method of local cleaning. Local skin infection is common in Dutch rats, and doctors prescribe lotions and other drugs. At this time, there is no need to wash all over. You can dip it with a cotton swab, wipe it with water and try to clean it.
Whole body cleaning:
1. The scientific cleaning method is to find a container, usually a washbasin, and put warm water in it, about 2 or 3 centimeters deep, depending on the size of the Dutch rat. Generally speaking, it is good to have some, and then wet the body of the guinea pig with water, because the hair of the guinea pig is very thick, so be careful not to dry it after washing.
2. Then use small animal shampoo. You must buy something nice and formal. Don't choose something too strong. The main raw materials are natural. When you buy it, you must go to a regular place and buy it from a regular manufacturer. If it is poisonous, it will be in trouble. Because it's not easy to buy a shampoo specially for Dutch rats in the market, try to choose a natural and green shampoo. Apply a small amount of shampoo to Dutch mice and rub gently.
3. It's almost ready. You can continue to wash the Dutch rats with the water in the basin, so that there is shampoo in the water, or you can wash it under the Dutch rats.
4. Then put the Dutch mouse in another pot. You can find a large coke bottle filled with warm water in advance and then wash it clean. Don't forget to wash the Dutch rat's ass. How much water you need depends on yourself, so maybe you need two coke bottles.
5. After washing, dry it with a dry towel prepared in advance and try to dry it. Then you can dry it with a hair dryer. Master the temperature.
Precautions:
1. The water temperature must be appropriate, neither too cold nor too hot;
2. The bathing environment and the place where the Dutch rats stay after bathing should not be too ventilated to prevent the Dutch rats from catching a cold.
3. When taking a bath, if the Dutch mouse is afraid, you should pay attention to touching it and talking to it to relieve the tension of the Dutch mouse; Dutch rats may crawl out in the bath, so the edge of the panel should not be too short;
4. Don't wash your hair and ears. Never let water enter the eyes of the Dutch rat when washing;
It is not advisable to take a bath in winter, because Dutch rats are afraid of cold.
The diet of Dutch mice
Dutch mice like food best! Dutch rats are rodents and herbivores. If they don't eat, they are sleeping! If they eat too much and don't take enough exercise, or they are fed the wrong food, all these will lead to overeating. ......
How to keep a small Dutch pig so as not to die?
Guinea pigs are also called Dutch rats, Dutch pigs and guinea pigs.
Feeding method
If the living space is too small for cats and dogs to move, or if they are afraid of being scratched and bitten, then
Choose a small and docile guinea pig. It's chubby, clumsy and cute. Although it is a rodent, it is more attractive than a hamster. Very docile, seldom bite, only bite when provoked (you know rabbits bite when they are in a hurry). Guinea pigs are vegetarians, and all fruits and vegetables can be fed except cruciferous leaves. It's very clever. If you are kind to it, it will recognize it and play with it. Moderate size, neither as small as a hamster nor as big as a rabbit.
The life span of guinea pigs can be as long as 8 years, so psychological preparation must be made before feeding. Make sure there are no cats, dogs and other animals that will hurt it at home. It must supply water and food every day. Its excrement will smell. It sometimes makes a noise and bites people.
food
Timothy grass must have food with and without * * * feed. Add water once in the morning and once in the evening. The water you drink is cold boiled water.
Alfalfa hay without * * * was recommended half a year ago, and ladder grass without * * * was recommended half a year later.
It is suggested to choose foreign brands and Aibo as staple food. 20 grams per day for piglets and 30 grams per day for adult pigs.
Some taboo foods: First of all, bean products, such as tofu, contain more calcium, which will react with oxalic acid in some vegetables to produce calcium oxalate, which has adverse effects on guinea pigs, such as urinary calculi.
Secondly, guinea pigs have a keen sense of smell and will be disgusted with some strong-smelling foods, so try not to feed them with strong-smelling foods.
Note: it has too many natural enemies, so be careful of animals such as mice, cats and dogs when going out.
glass container
If it is too late to prepare a nest for it when you buy it, you can find a box first (drawer box, no wood, cardboard boxes, etc. They chew food) and put some clean rags in it [2] (generally speaking, you will choose sawdust, paper scraps, etc.). Because newspaper ink is not good for small animals, it is best not to use it. This box is only temporary, because when it adapts to the environment and gets bolder, it will start grinding its teeth with the box and maybe even slip out. So we must prepare a suitable strong box to make a nest for it. You can buy boxes for raising small animals or special boxes for raising groundhogs in the market. In the past, the feeding box was divided into two layers, with a tray at the bottom and barbed wire in the middle. The advantage is that it is convenient to clean, but the disadvantage is that the feet of animals are easily caught by wires, causing injuries. The special feeding box for groundhog has only one floor, which is slightly larger and has an opening at the top. When feeding with it, the inside must be covered with sawdust and sawdust. Animal activities are convenient, but the disadvantage is that excrement is not easy to clean, and the padding must be cleaned and replaced frequently. Pay attention to the feeding box as large as possible, otherwise you will get fat because you don't get enough exercise, and even cause mental stress and other problems. This is especially true when multiple animals are raised. It is recommended to use a large or cost-effective large rabbit cage. Cover the barbed wire with foot pads to avoid diaper rash on pigs. Store away from cats and dogs, avoid direct sunlight, wind and rain, and pay attention to ventilation.
Food basin
Avoid choosing plastic or other materials that will be chewed. Should choose ceramic or stainless steel texture, a certain weight is not easy to be knocked over.
drink water
In order to keep the feeding box dry, it is recommended to use a spherical water dispenser. The hamster uses a vacuum water dispenser, but the guinea pig can't use it. ) It's too big for cats and dogs and too small for hamsters. It's better to be dedicated, just 250ml.
type
If you want to breed, you can have a pair, or a male and two females. The gestation period of guinea pigs is about 60 ~ 70 days. Young rats are born with teeth and fur, their eyes are open and they can start eating at once. However, it is suggested that the baby should not be raised alone within 2 weeks after birth, and it is best to be taken care of by the mother mouse. Young rats reach maturity after about 3 months.
At the same time, please note that the best pregnancy period for guinea pigs is 5~9 months. If it exceeds or falls below this time. Abortion, dystocia, etc
Play with others
To understand the guinea pig, the most important thing is to play with it often and know how it will react under what circumstances:
Hold your head high and shout: want to eat;
Head forward: call your partner;
The dragon gave a quick and low vibration: happiness;
(Both male and female mice can) move briskly, sometimes jumping and squeaking: excited, happy;
The whole body is tight in the corner, and the throat makes a high-pitched cooing sound: unhappy;
......
How to raise Dutch pigs so as not to die?
Need scientific feeding
There are many reasons for the death of Dutch pigs. The following are common causes of death:
1, scared to death
There are not a few piglets who died suddenly after taking a bath. I always thought it was incredible before, because my little pig just bought it and took a bath the next day, and it has been very healthy.
Many people's pigs often take a bath, or start taking a bath soon after they get home, and they have been very healthy.
But pigs are different. Like people, the bold are timid. Therefore, it is better to be cautious without knowing whether your pig's guts are bold or small. It is suggested that it is safer for the new pig to go home and get familiar with it for a while before taking a bath, usually after one month.
There are also some pigs who died after taking a bath, not necessarily scared to death, but because they have hidden diseases. Taking a bath will aggravate the attack of the disease and lead to sudden death. Because there are too many hidden diseases, the attack time is short and the death is fast, it is not easy to judge what disease it is, so I won't say much here.
2. Dietary reasons
A large part of the death of piglets is due to improper diet. My advice is not to try uncertain food easily. After all, it is also a life.
Currently known safe forage grass:
Ladder grass, fruit tree grass, elephant grass, alfalfa grass (small amount, high calcium), oat grass, ryegrass, etc.
Currently known safe fruits and vegetables:
Corn husks, corn leaves, cucumbers, oranges (oranges), colored peppers and apples (not suitable for feeding apple kernels. It is reported that Apple's nuclear is toxic, please let Baidu know. But apple meat and skin are fine, so don't worry too much.
Carrots: Don't feed with other fruits and vegetables at the same time, which will hinder the absorption of VC.
At present, vegetables and fruits with high calcium content are known as follows:
Oil lettuce and celery leaves
Eating too much of the above foods is easy to cause calcium urine, but it's actually no big deal. Urinary calcium is a common phenomenon in piglets under six months old. I once did a survey of urinary calcium and stones in a bar. The result was a lot of calcium in urine, but no stones were found. Although the number of people surveyed is not very common, it also shows that the probability of urinary calcium getting stones is not high. According to a senior person, as long as you drink more water, you won't get stones.
Vegetables and fruits that are currently known to be unsuitable for feeding:
Corn kernels, oatmeal
Eating too much of the above foods is easy to flatulence, which directly affects gastrointestinal peristalsis, which in turn leads to food accumulation in the stomach. If it accumulates for too long, it will produce toxic substances and eventually lead to death.
watermelon
It is cold and watery, so it is not recommended to feed more.
Winter jujube
Eating too much is easy to bloat, so feeding more is not recommended.
Vegetables and fruits that are currently known to be unsuitable for feeding:
Spinach, banana, pear, beans, beans, cabbage, broccoli, cabbage.
The above foods are also not suitable for feeding. As for the reason, because of limited energy, I won't go into it. If you are interested, please search by yourself.
Doesn't mean you can't feed more. It's not arsenic after all. Eating it will burp. But to pay attention to the grasp of quantity. Less is good, more is bad.
Try not to feed those who are not suitable for feeding, and you will burp if you are not careful.
It is wise to feed fresh vegetables and fruits. Remember not to feed vegetables that are stored for a long time, lack of water, soaked for a long time, deteriorated or wilted, because the above reasons will lead to an increase in nitrite content in vegetables.
Dutch pigs should stop feeding vegetables and fruits if they have diarrhea.
3, coccidia
I won't popularize some professional knowledge of coccidia because I don't understand it either.
Coccidiosis is very harmful, and basically burps after the attack, which is easy to cause sudden death of Dutch pigs. After the attack, there is basically no hope, and prevention is the main thing.
The manifestations of coccidiosis attack are: listlessness, loss of appetite, final hunger strike, diarrhea, deformed stool, sticky stool, paste-like anus, and severe cases lying on the ground. There are neurological symptoms before death, such as convulsions and convulsions.
The biggest characteristics of coccidiosis attack are: lying on one side, limbs straight, head leaning back, and the time from onset to death is only a few hours.
Methods of preventing coccidia:
For the first time, 0. 1000 ml of water was added with 0. 1 ml of blood cells, which were taken continuously for 7 days every month for 6 months. Shake it well and take it. Throw out what you can't finish and do it again in 24 hours.
Because killing blood cells is easy to cause coccidia drug resistance, it is recommended not to use it for more than 6 months. In addition, piglets under three months are prone to coccidiosis, and the probability of coccidiosis in big pigs will be smaller.
4. meningitis
There is relatively little research on guinea pigs in China. I have read a lot of materials and consulted many great gods, but I still don't know much about the cause of meningitis. As for the preventive measures, I have consulted Feifei Cotton Candy. What needs attention is diet and environment, plus the clues provided by _Ww. Generally speaking, I should pay attention to the following aspects:
1, improve environmental sanitation
2. Pay attention to food safety
3, autumn is the high incidence of meningitis, so try not to be in summer. ......
How can the Dutch pigs bought at the stall be raised so as not to die?
what can I say? The physique of the pig bought at the stall was not confirmed.
If you want to raise pigs, you should prepare a complete set of equipment and a slightly larger cage. Equipped with foot pads, polar fleece mats, toilets, wooden particles, food pots, kettle grass racks. These are the most basic. Don't use sawdust, it will affect the respiratory tract of pigs.
You can buy some stories about grass and feed them with Abel's pig food. Six months ago, you mainly ate alfalfa (not * * *), supplemented by ladder grass, and gave enough water (cold boiled water or mineral water) to increase the supply of ladder grass. By the time you are six months old, you can switch to feeding ladder grass, stop feeding alfalfa or feed it as a snack. There are also highland barley grass, fruit tree grass, south grass and so on. Don't feed weeds outside. Usually, we should also pay attention to vitamin C supplementation and feed more sweet peppers and cherry tomatoes. Don't feed a messy dish like the first course. If you want to feed Chinese cabbage, you can only feed it less, only the leaves and not the stems. No pears, less apples. There are many vegetables and fruits that pigs can't eat. You can go to the Dutch pig bar and look at the top sticker.
Piglets over one month should be fed for 5-7 days every month to kill blood cells (coccidiosis is very harmful to the life of pigs). A drop of water per 65,438+000 ml is enough. It's very effective. Don't give more. If the dose is not controlled, the pig will die. Then change the water for 24 hours before pouring it. Do this for 5-7 days every month. Pigs can stop in about 6 months. There is controversy about blood cell killing. Some pig friends think it is unnecessary to feed, but if the pig really gets coccidia, it will basically die. Some pig friends think it is necessary to take precautions and don't want to take risks. So let's see what we think.
Don't be too eager to take a bath for newly acquired pigs, because pigs have different constitutions, and some bathing will lead to pig death. It's too dirty to wipe, and then choose to take a shower when you are familiar with it. If you take a bath, don't let water enter the pig's ears, which is harmful to the pig's life.
Don't touch the new pigs when they come home. Give them enough food and grass to get familiar with them. After getting familiar with it, check whether there are white worms and eggs on it. Pull open your hair and look at the roots. If there is a bug, there is cypress powder online. Pull off the pig's hair, sprinkle it below the pig's neck, and then bathe the pig with Head & Shoulders or a special bath for pets.
In short, there are still many places to pay attention to. Let's take a look at the top stickers of the lotus pig bar, which will benefit a lot. I learned everything from it.
How are Dutch pigs fed? Will you get sick and die or something?
It won't be difficult to raise. Dutch pigs eat grass, vegetables, corn husks and so on. , are very simple food. Dutch pigs have a big appetite. Although surprisingly small, and can eat a lot, but the chance of getting sick is relatively low. As long as the indoor temperature is kept constant, Dutch pigs will get heatstroke in summer, so they should not be too hot. In order to clean its room in time, I have a pet that feels very active. Be good when you have food, and bark when you are hungry. But cuter than other pets.
Is it easy to die if a Dutch pig keeps one?
There is nothing wrong with one, but it will definitely be lonely. They also have a companion, but they often bark. If you want to buy another one to accompany him, you'd better buy one about his age. If he is older, the pig may bully him. If you are younger than him, your pig may bully that one. May your pig grow up healthily.
Are Dutch pigs particularly difficult to raise? How do you hear many people say that they died inexplicably after buying it? How should I raise it?
Mine has been here for over a year. It is very troublesome to feed grass and clean up at first, and it is difficult to master vitamin C supplementation with fresh fruits and vegetables. So once I found it paralyzed on its hind legs and dragged it along, and then I quickly bought a big bell pepper for it to eat, and it was fine the next day.
But this is not a long-term solution, so I came up with a perfect solution.
Every time I buy 5 kg of pig food from Taobao, the postage is 24.5 yuan, which is enough for it to eat for 50 days. Easy to clean, the chassis can be washed. Then I bought a bottle of the cheapest vitamin C tablets, 100 tablets at 80 cents, which was enough for more than half a year. Every time I add water, I add a piece to the water dispenser. This method has been used for more than a year, and it is very healthy without any problems. And it is very easy to take care of.
How can Dutch pigs be raised in winter, how can they be deodorized and how can they not die?
Mosquito repellent inside and outside, take a bath once every two months in winter, blow dry quickly after bathing, and often clean the cage chassis. Besides, Taobao has a cotton nest.
