How are chinchillas raised? As the title suggests, thank you

1. My chinchilla is a chinchilla, so it also has the habit of being a mouse at night. That is, rest during the day and be active at night.

2. When feeding chinchillas, feed them in the evening as much as possible. And the amount of food should be sufficient. My neighbor totoro will continue to eat during the evening activities.

3. In addition to the staple food, the food of chinchillas should also have alfalfa grass. Alfalfa grass can supplement various nutrients that are lacking in staple foods.

4. The ratio of staple food and alfalfa grass can be half and half. Or reduce the proportion of alfalfa grass appropriately.

5. If chinchillas have the phenomenon of partial eating and prefer alfalfa grass, we can feed the staple food first, and then feed alfalfa grass. Of course, you can also add some snacks appropriately.

6. Totoro should always have clean water in the process of breeding. And clean up Totoro's eating and drinking utensils in a timely manner.

1. Juvenile chinchillas (8 months ago) mainly feed on staple foods, alfalfa and grass. Juvenile chinchillas should be eaten alfalfa as a staple food to provide adequate nutrition for juvenile chinchillas. In addition, it only takes two days a week to eat Timothy grass to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines.

During the young years of chinchilla, the breeder should prepare enough food for him and eat small, frequent meals every day. Not only to meet the nutritional needs of chinchillas, but also to avoid eating too much food that causes chinchillas to become too obese.

2. Adult chinchillas (after eight months) are given staple food and grass, and discontinue alfalfa. In addition to preparing a suitable staple food for adult chinchillas, a small amount of treats can also be prepared for them. The snacks that chinchillas can eat are very simple:

Exclusive chinchilla treats, or peel and dice fresh apples, carrots, sand or red fruits. Snacks are enough to feed 1-2 capsules every other day. An adult chinchilla needs 20-40 ml of water per day.

My chinchilla is a very drought-tolerant animal. But chinchilla's drinking water must be clean. Do not drink cold water, at least boiled or purified water.

3. Totoro should not eat any fresh vegetables and fruits that are too much water. The best food to give them is apples. Foods with too much water can easily cause chinchilla diarrhea.

Totoro cannot eat peanuts and soybeans. There is too much peanut oil. Soybeans swell when they enter the abdomen to absorb water, and may even cause intestinal obstruction and death.

The remainder of the feed and hay should be discarded, which is usually left by chinchillas. They are considered unnutritious. Alfalfa grass is one of the main ingredients in chinchilla feed.

A large amount of alfalfa can quickly fatten chinchillas. However, chinchillas should not be overly obese, so alfalfa grass should be used as a supplementary nutritional grass, usually twice a week, but chinchillas who have just arrived at home can give more, because the nutrients provided in large-scale farms often do not fully meet the needs of their growth and development. Other hay such as:

Oats, wheat, and barley grass can all be used as auxiliary hay to spice chinchilla flavors. Remember that chinchillas are not allowed to eat fresh grass, and they cannot be plucked from wild grass to feed chinchillas! Keep the cage in a cool, ventilated place, but not in the air outlet.

If Totoro is blown directly by the wind, it will catch a cold. Summer is a sad season for chinchillas. Due to the thick fur, it is best to turn on the air conditioner to cool down when the weather is hot and humid in summer.

I have a chinchilla.

Actually, it's easy to raise a chinchilla.

If you're still thinking about getting a chinchilla, here's what I recommend.

1. Cultivate feelings first.

My Neighbor Totoro is not just you want to raise him, follow you.

Go to the shop that sells chinchilla often, or talk to the owner about exchanging feelings with your favorite chinchilla.

Feed a dried apple. Raisins spurt.

So slowly I got familiar with it. It's easy to buy it and raise it at home.

2. Each Totoro has his own personality.

I prefer the docile ones.

But the shopkeeper's two chinchillas were very skinny, and they often bit her, of course, just kidding, and they wouldn't really bite.

So take care of its mood.

I was familiar with my big shell for about three weeks, only half an hour a day, six times a Friday.

3. Sometimes let the chinchilla out, if it is on the ground and will not be caged, at this time the action should be fast, hurry up and catch it back, it is very easy to catch, otherwise you don't know how to run that horn.

4. My neighbor totoro is very smart, as long as it is properly trained, it can stand on its shoulders, and my big shell is handed over to the shopkeeper for training.

In fact, you can do it yourself, it's almost the same as training a puppy.

5. The hygiene problem of chinchilla is easy to deal with. Taking a bath is very simple, using bath sand (exclusively sold in the store), all at once.

Excrement (if there is no diarrhea or anything) is easy to deal with Changing the sawdust in the cage once a week is fine. If you groom your hair often, you won't lose hair everywhere.

6.As long as the room temperature is controlled, there will be no cold, and there will be no diarrhea if the diet is normal (grain and special grass matching, moderate amount of nut food). My chinchilla has a very dense fur and generally does not have parasites, so don't worry.

Hope it helps. ~

It is recommended to go to the Totoro bar of the post bar to ask. It takes a lot of money and effort to raise a chinchilla.

As long as the chinchilla controls the temperature (between 5 and 25 degrees, not higher than 25 degrees), the staple food and grass (alfalfa grass, Timothy) pay attention to bathing, use (special bath sand goods, bath powder) to clean frequently, pay attention to ventilation.

The extreme ambient temperature of Totoro is about 32 degrees, and most people use ice nests or ice packs to cool down Totoro in summer, and these are enough, and even many Totoro will not go to stay in the ice pack, because the indoor temperature in normal residential areas will not be particularly high, and it is not much of a problem not to cool down Totoro, but it is still recommended that you prepare these things.

My neighbor totoro is more difficult to raise, you have to take care of it, he will not accompany you like a kitten or a puppy, they are independent, it is recommended that you do not buy it impulsively Learn more about related knowledge Take a look at the ten chinchillas in the bar, and then consider if you are eligible. Please cherish life and love them

Basically, chinchillas are not allowed to eat fruits with more water, and basically feed some apples at home, provided that they prevent constipation, fruits are not staple foods, they are snacks, and a small piece at a time is good What is the problem Go to chinchilla Ask Everyone is very enthusiastic I hope you can be a responsible owner, don't buy them for a month or two and abandon them.
