What are the disadvantages of how to raise a chinchilla

4hw.com.cn: as a fat cat, it looks silly and cute. It gains a large number of fans by selling cute. Many people want to raise a tmall, but they are worried about their own poor breeding. Do you know how to raise a tmall? What are the disadvantages of keeping a chinchilla? Let's have a look.

How to raise a chinchilla

1. Before buying a chinchilla, we must understand some habits of the chinchilla, such as: the chinchilla is a nocturnal animal, the chinchilla is a vegetarian animal, and the chinchilla can live for about 15-20 years...... We can get along well with this elf only after we understand the habits of the chinchilla.

In fact, they are not like their relatives on the Internet. They are very independent. You usually prepare food and water, and they can live. They are very suitable for working people and students. So before buying, we need to determine whether we can accept the independence and independence of the chinchillas. They can not achieve the same loyalty and relatives as dogs.... If you can't, you'd better forget it. The life span of a chinchilla is much longer than that of an ordinary animal.

Chinchillas are afraid of heat because they don't have sweat glands, so they need external factors to cool down in the hot summer. At this time, air conditioning is essential, and 24-hour air conditioning is a regular thing, so friends who want to buy it must consider their own conditions.

Generally, I suggest that the first time I raise a friend to raise Biao grey, mainly because of the price and physique. Biao grey is the ancestor of chinchilla. Its physique is much better than color cat. The price is convenient or acceptable.

2. Selection of chinchillas:

(1) Defecation: it's very convenient to take care of the defecation of the chinchilla. BB can clearly show the health level of the chinchilla: there are pores in the open, the color is green (grass week), brown, black, and there is no mucus on the surface. After being placed aside for a while, BB will not be very soft (soft defecation)

(2) Eyes: bright eyes, no excrement, smooth hair around the eyes

(3) Limbs: there is no wound on the limbs. You can let the cat move on the ground and watch its flexibility

(4) Buttocks: P eyes are clean

(5) Weight: generally, the weight of adult cats is about 500g, while the weight of cats around 2 months is 250-350

(6) There is no skin (dermatosis) or potholes on the body (biting hair)

(7) The yellow and orange teeth are normal, otherwise it means the cat lacks calcium; the teeth cannot be exposed

(8) Buying a cat is also very predestined. It's good to see it right. You don't have to ask for the color or gender

3. Feeding

(1) Generally speaking, for chinchillas over 8 months, I suggest Timothy as the main grass and alfalfa as the secondary grass. For chinchillas under 8 months old and pregnant, alfalfa is recommended as the main forage and Timothy as the secondary forage

(2) The snacks should be as simple as possible. The intestines and stomachs of chinchillas are very fragile. They are not suitable for too many and complex snacks. I think apples and raisins are good snacks and the prices are not expensive. Snack as little as possible, otherwise it will harm the cat, the cat does not like to eat staple food or even lack of calcium. Usually three times a week

(3) Grass and staple food can be given together, or one day staple food can be given one day to prevent the chinchillas from picking on food

(4) Main grain I mainly push Mazuri (imported), Aibao (imported)

4. Daily (many situations, just a few points here, if you have any questions, you can put forward)

(1) If the owner has a cold, it is better not to contact the cat, otherwise it will be transmitted to the cat and cause the cat to die

(2) Usually, tooth grinding products are necessary, or cats will be unable to eat because their teeth are too long. I personally think apple wood is the most natural

(3) Give the cat a regular physical examination, such as dental examination, BB examination and weight record

(4) The cage should not be placed in the tuyere, toilet and other places. Wet places are easy to cause skin diseases for cats. However, as a night animal, don't let the cat bask in the sun all the time. Cats can get heatstroke (death)

(5) Don't put the underage opposite sex chinchillas together, otherwise there will be a chance of early pregnancy, which is very harmful to the body of the female cat

(6) Longmao loves to chew wood, but it doesn't mean that all wood is OK. Generally, most of the products sold outside are made of fir

(7) Hold the cat, don't grab the cat's tail like in the shop. We should hold the chinchillas around, let them lean on their chest, and make them feel safe

What are the disadvantages of keeping a chinchilla

First of all, the chinchilla is very vulnerable, that is, it has no resistance to fungi, especially for the young chinchilla with low resistance. Although the fungi on the human hand that come from touching coins or feet are difficult to pose a threat to human beings, they are easy to make the chinchilla bald. Animals such as rats, cats and dogs are close to or pollute food. Animals that are threatened to the chinchillas will cause tension and some diseases, such as large area hair loss and reduced food consumption

Secondly, the chinchillas are naturally curious and timid. They are interested in all the new things & hellip; hellip; hellip; the first thing is whether they can eat & hellip; so when they first put the chinchillas out to play, they will bite furniture and wires or something.

Finally, the life span of a chinchilla is generally about 10 years, which is under your careful care. Many chinchillas are short-lived due to the negligence of their owners. When you have a chinchilla, you should be ready to lose it.
