    Lobster grows fast, metabolism is vigorous, oxygen consumption is large, so the water quality of the shrimp pond should be kept fresh, add water 15-20 cm deep every week to ensure that the water quality is fresh, clean, and have enough dissolved oxygen, the transparency of the pool water is controlled at more than 35 cm deep, when the weather is too hot, the pool water should be properly deepened to stabilize the pool water temperature. Strictly prevent water quality from industrial pollution, pesticide pollution and chemical pollution.

    When the dissolved oxygen in the water is low, the water quality is aging, or in case of thundershowers, hot days, cloudy days and other bad weather, the amount of bait should be reduced or stopped, and pay attention to observation, if the lobster is found to be slow to react, swim to the shore, float and climb to the shore, it means that the lack of oxygen is serious, and it is necessary to inject water or open an aerator to increase oxygen in time.

    The nutrition still has to be balanced, you can't eat shrimp every day, you can replace it with beef, chicken breast, chicken liver and other supplements.

    Forget about cat food, if you go to a processing plant and see how cat food is produced, I don't think you will feed cat food.

    If you feed it, you will eat it, but it is not healthy. Crayfish feed has artificial bait, which we divide into 4 small parts:

    Green fodder mainly refers to aquatic plants, winter melons, pumpkins, and various green vegetable leaves.

    Meat feed mainly refers to animal sewage, fish, mussel meat, earthworms, etc.

    Concentrate feed mainly refers to soybean, corn, rice bran, bean dregs, wheat, wheat bran, etc.

    There are also grains, such as wheat, corn, soybeans, okara, wheat bran, rice bran and other grains and his processed products can be used as concentrate feed for crayfish.

    Summary. Hello dear. It's not healthy.

    Is it healthy for chinchillas to eat grass and not staple foods?

    Hello dear. It's not healthy.

    **Picky eater: one day of food, one day of grass. For example, only feed a single grass on the first day (don't mix it!).

    When it is finished, or it is found that it is tired of eating, put the grain on the second day, put the grain for a day (do not mix the grain) and wait for the grain to finish eating before putting grass, and so on. The principle is: chinchilla has a weak stomach, and eating only one every day helps digestion, and it will not cause diarrhea and soft stools for long-term health.

    And the character of the chinchilla, it is decided that the chinchilla is an animal that likes to spoil food, hehe, only eat 1 kind, you can eliminate picky eating. In addition, the general grain is synthetic and high in nutrients, so chinchillas seem to like to eat more food. Generally picky eaters, they also pick grains to eat and do not like to eat grass.

    So I think your chinchilla has more personality. In addition, it is recommended to pay attention to the food you bought, will the quality be a little inferior and the nutrition is poor, so Totoro finds it unpalatable, and prefers to eat grass? If so, it is recommended to refer to the opinions of other cat friends, change the food early, don't be embarrassed for the cat, and see if the food with good reputation and palatability will be eaten?

    I hope mine will be of little help to you. (*

    1. About chinchilla staple food

    The chinchilla is a small mammal that is relatively easy to raise, and its diet is mainly herbaceous and grainy. In the breeding of chinchillas, the staple food plays a very important role, and choosing the appropriate staple food can enhance the immunity of chinchillas and maintain good health. At present, most of the staple foods of chinchillas on the market contain a variety of grains, such as wheat, corn, soybeans, etc.

    However, the use of staple food alone cannot meet the nutritional needs of chinchillas, and it is also necessary to add herbs, vegetables and other foods.

    2. The relationship between wheat and chinchilla

    In the choice of staple foods, wheat is a relatively common ingredient. Wheat is highly nutritious and contains a lot of vitamins and minerals. Wheat is high in dietary fiber, which can promote chinchilla's digestion and prevent constipation.

    At the same time, wheat also contains the right carbohydrates that can provide enough energy for chinchillas. However, excessive amounts of wheat can also have adverse effects on chinchilla's health and need to be used in moderate amounts.

    3. The relationship between corn and chinchilla

    Corn is a staple food ingredient of chinchilla, which is rich in minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. When cooked or processed, chinchillas can better absorb the nutrients in it. However, excessive amounts of corn can cause problems such as digestive difficulties and obesity, so it is necessary to control the amount used in daily feeding.

    4. The combination of grains and the addition of herbs

    In a chinchilla's diet, a single grain does not meet all of its nutritional needs. Therefore, different grains should be reasonably matched to achieve a more complete nutritional combination. At the same time, the addition of herbs is also very important, which can not only increase the diversity of food, but also enrich the eating pleasure of chinchillas and improve their appetite.

    Herbs that are usually added include hay, vegetables, fruits, etc., and these foods should be added in the right amount.

    1. What food should chinchillas eat as a minor?

    Totoro is a cute little pet, and their staple food is mainly food, including grass, hay, mixed feed, grass, oats, barley, corn, etc., which are the main foods they eat every day.

    However, for chinchillas of different ages, their nutritional needs are also different. Underage chinchillas require a more holistic diet to ensure their growth and development.

    2. The main nutrients required by juvenile chinchillas

    Underage chinchillas require a richer level of nutrition, mainly protein, vitamins and minerals. Protein is one of the key nutrients that promote the growth and development of chinchillas and can be obtained in mixed feeds. At the same time, calcium and phosphorus are also essential nutrients during the juvenile period of Longtan returning cats, and are contained in mixed feeds such as wheat germ, eggshell, and fishmeal.

    In addition, underage chinchillas also need to be supplemented with adequate vitamins, especially vitamins C, D, and E. Vitamins C can help chinchillas grow healthily, and vitamins D and E can help chinchillas maintain healthy bones and teeth. These vitamins can be obtained through a variety of hay, mixed feeds, and fruits.

    3. Precautions for the diet of underage chinchillas

    For juvenile chinchillas, no single food can meet all of their nutritional needs. Therefore, the diet should be varied and include mixed feed, hay, fresh vegetables and fruits.

    In addition, the process of eating and drinking also needs to be paid attention to, and regular feeding and clean water should be maintained. The drinking water tank should be replaced once a day and kept clean and hygienic.

    4. The dietary recommendations for chinchillas in adolescence are to start potatoes

    For underage chinchillas, there is a need to provide comprehensive and abundant nutrition to support their growth and development. Here are some dietary recommendations for chinchillas in adulthood:

    1.Provide a variety of food options, including mixtures, hay, fruits, and vegetables.

    2.Maintain a regular feeding time each day and make sure your drinking water is clean.

    3.Avoid feeding chinchillas too many snacks or human food, poor eating habits can seriously damage chinchillas' health.

    4.Take chinchillas to the veterinarian regularly and discuss with them about their diet.

    Totoro can eat raw rice, but don't feed it for a long time, it can be used as a small snack or something like that, and Totoro is fed in the morning and in the evening.

    In the morning, it is advisable to feed alfalfa grass (for minors) or Timothy grass (for adults) to finish each day.

    Feed the staple food in the evening (a little left every day is preferred).

    Don't mix hay and staple food and eat them separately.

    Any other questions you can ask me.

    Don't forget to adopt it.
