How are Dutch pigs raised? Can it be raised in a cardboard box?

It is best to use a dog cage with Da Xie, otherwise it is difficult to clean up, and the carton may be gnawed open, and pigs are omnivores.

The carton can only be used for emergencies! If you really want to raise it, you must buy the necessary cages, kettles, mats, straw racks, etc.! There is also grain and grass, and none of them can be missing.

If you really want to raise, don't use a cardboard box.

1. A cage of the right size

When raising Dutch pigs, choosing the right size cage is extremely important. The small cage will make the pig feel crowded in it, unable to live comfortably, resulting in the pig's spirit being depressed. Cages that are too large can cause pigs to run around and lose the necessary safety and protection.

Generally speaking, the size of the flower pig cage should be: Dutch pigs weighing less than 1 kg choose 60cm 35cm 30cm cages; Dutch pigs weighing from 1 kg to kg choose 80cm 50cm 50cm cages; Dutch pigs weighing more than kilograms are selected for 100cm, 60cm and 50cm cages.

2. Suitable bed

Dutch pigs are clean-loving animals, so make sure the beds in the cages are clean and warm. Grass or straw is a good material that is able to maintain temperature and absorb urine. In the choice of bed, we can choose wood chips (sawdust), barley bark, elm bark and so on according to the size of the pig.

However, it is necessary to be careful not to use stale wood for pigs, otherwise the cavity slag is easy to be infected with the pig's disease.

3. Ensure an appropriate amount of openness

Dutch pigs like to run and play, so it is necessary to give them a moderate amount of exercise and activity when raising them. At this time, we need to provide the pig with some suitable toys. Wood, sticks, straw ropes, etc. are all good toys.

The cage should also be ventilated. In hot weather, it is necessary to pay attention to reducing the damage caused by sunlight to pigs and reduce the stuffiness of pigs. Do not apply white oil or other oily items in the cage in summer, because this will cause the pig's redness, which will cause the disease of the pig.

4. Clean and disinfect at all times

Regular cleaning and disinfection is an important means of keeping Dutch pigs healthy. The beds, food, drinking fountains, etc. in the cage should have a fixed cleaning and disinfection plan to protect the health of the pigs. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly replace the materials for the pig's sleep and rest, such as beds and mats, especially when there is a disease, and it is necessary to replace the beds and mats with new ones.

In order to avoid the breeding of pathogens and affect the health of Dutch pigs.

Dutch pigs themselves have no taste, and they stink because of environmental problems.

Feeding: It is advisable to go to the pet store to buy food for it to be precise.

Buy Dutch pigs to eat grain and grass.

Moses grass and rye grass are preferred.

Grass is the mainstay, supplemented by grain.

But it's not good to eat just these two, and occasionally add some complementary foods to them, such as fruits, vegetables, and carrots (pigs and pigs are best to eat a few pieces a day).

That is, the grass is added as soon as it is eaten or almost eaten, and the grain is fed regularly and quantitatively every day.

If the food is the main thing, the Dutch pigs will be overweight.

The water should not be hot or raw, it is best to cool it and change it once a day.

Dutch pigs are vegetarians and must never eat hamster food, let alone meat.

And it doesn't have some kind of enzyme in its own body that can break down food, so it's important to eat hay.

It eats fruits, vegetables (cabbage is not good), carrots.

But keep in mind that Dutch pigs as children have low immunity.

You can't just feed greens, carrots, and the like.

It is better to feed only grass and grain.

When it grows up, it is also a mix and match of grass, grain, and other complementary foods.

That is, if you eat an apple, you break it somewhat.

Watermelon, pears, and oranges are best eaten sparingly.

Fruits that are too watery or have a strong sour taste tend to make them diarrhea.

Diarrhea is very serious, and many small animals die on it.

Daily: Buying a cage should be considered in the long run, the Dutch pig can grow as big as a rabbit.

And the larger it is, the heavier its excretion, and the environment is not good in summer, and it is easy to get sick.

So be sure to buy a larger, partitioned cage with the pig liquid on top and let its excrement be on the chassis.

Clean the chassis at least once a day.

In addition to washing the chassis with clean water, I recommend washing the chassis with a little vinegar.

Many shopkeepers may recommend you a potion that specializes in anti-virus and anti-bacteria, but you don't actually need it.

Vinegar can not only sterilize, but also remove urine scale, and it is also cheap, and a little bit of broken potion is 20 yuan.

The cage should also be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Because pigs are bored and panicked, they will bite the cage, but without molars, they can grind their teeth by eating grass.

Pigs don't need to be bathed, they lick themselves.

You really can't wash it in winter, and you'll catch a cold.

In the summer, if you can't resist it, wash them once.

Find a small basin, put warm water, add dish soap, be sure to dry it with a dry cloth after washing, and blow it dry with a hair dryer.

Otherwise, you will have diarrhea if you catch a cold.

Dutch pigs are afraid of the cold, so in winter you can find a cardboard box and put some rags in it, and then put it in its cage.

Or cover it with a thick garment every day before going to bed, and be sure to leave a hole for ventilation.

As for the nails of the pigs, I don't think it's a big problem, you don't need to trim it much, it's OK twice a year.

You must pay attention to its meat before cutting, so you should cut it before cutting.

ps: about its illness, my pigs have only suffered from colds, generally because of the cold, you can use the cold powder we drink, add 1 4 portions into the water they drink daily, drink for a few days until they are cured, the amount can only be less than more, if it is diarrhea, it can only ** grass and grain, and everything else can not be eaten, do not let them be too frightened, it will seriously shed their hair.

But generally around spring, they are the moulting period, and there is no need to panic if it is not too serious.

How to raise Dutch pigs

Before Dutch pigs enter their new home, they must first build a living environment. Put bedding in the cage, and choose bedding that has good water absorption effect, no hall dust, and is non-toxic. And it should be cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene.

Then the indoor temperature should be kept around 20 degrees, if the room temperature reaches 30 degrees, the Dutch pigs will have a very high mortality rate, so in the summer, do not take the Dutch pigs outside or put them on the balcony in the heat.

Finally, in terms of diet, green grass is the staple food, and pet owners can grow various weeds in pots, such as wheat grass, oat grass, etc., which are all foods that Dutch pigs love to eat. It can also be fed with special guinea pig food.
