But do you keep goldenrod squirrels in the basement?

Yes, the environment is relatively clean, and there is no smell when the owner cleans it diligently (my family used to have three animals, hamsters and Dutch pigs cleaned once a week, and squirrels had to be cleaned in two or three days, because the urine was too smelly......）

I've been raising a golden squirrel for a long time, and I've raised it since I was 5 months old, and I'm fine anyway except for not being a relative. If you want to cage it, it is recommended that you use a large cage, at least a large rabbit cage, the golden flower is small, but the amount of activity is very large, and the gap in the cage can not be too big, otherwise they can run out in minutes. The staple food I feed is pine nuts, many people say that you can feed melon seeds, pine nuts are too wasteful to feed goldenrod, I think as long as you really love them, will not be divided into varieties of high and low, how to feed for a long time, pine nuts have a good improvement on their hair, if you want to see the effect of feeding, you can add my QQ to see the comparison between them not eating pine nuts and eating pine nuts**, very big difference.

The complementary food is walnuts and hazelnuts, and the snacks are yogurt and apples, hemp seeds, apple branches, etc., but I have not fed any rat food and those foods on **, I insist that only pure natural is good. They haven't been sick since I fed them, they've grown fat, and their coat color is good. Leave them alone when you're hibernating, just stuff the nest with more cotton to keep warm.

As for food, just change the water every day or two, Jinhua will hide the food herself, if you clean up all the things they hide, just put some food next to the nest, don't worry about the rest. I occasionally turned on the air conditioner last year, and after turning it on, they didn't hibernate much, and when it was warmer, they came out to find food, and when they didn't have air conditioning, they slept all the time, basically once every 3 days or so, and ate something. In short, if you make good food and keep warm, don't worry about them, don't tease them, and play when they are warm, otherwise they will easily get sick.

1. Meet the Golden Flower Squirrel

The goldenrod squirrel is a small, cute squirrel characterized by its golden fur on its head and back. They like to live in tall trees, are good at climbing and jumping, and are agile and fast. Because of its beautiful appearance and strong flexibility, it has become an object that many people want to raise.

If you want to raise a golden squirrel, then you need to pay attention to the following:

2. The habitat environment needs to be comfortable

The goldenrod squirrel is endemic to high-altitude areas, and the breeding environment should mimic their habitat as much as possible. They need to have enough space to move and be active, so the size of the cage should also be large, and there should be plenty of food in the cage, as well as reincarnated greenery to make them feel as if they are moving in nature.

At the same time, the Golden Stocking imitation squirrel also has high requirements for the temperature and humidity of the environment, and it is necessary to keep the overall environment dry, clean and odorless during the breeding process.

3. Reasonable diet

In the process of raising goldenrod squirrels, the combination of diet is very important. Goldenrod squirrels mainly eat seeds, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, tubers and other foods, and need to be injected with lead to rationally match the types and quantities of food, as well as to scientifically avoid excessive intake of some foods. For example, excessive amounts of nuts and peanuts can cause health problems, and people can also be harmed by eating foods high in oxalic acid.

Tell the excitation fiber. It is advisable to prepare a variety of ingredients, but also pay attention to the freshness and hygiene of the ingredients. For example, vegetables should be washed to remove impurities and pesticides, etc., and the nutritional value of fresh fruits and vegetables is more reliable.

4. Regular health check-ups

In the process of raising goldenrod squirrels, regular health check-ups are essential. Pay attention to the changes in their physical state, appetite and mental state, and prepare some vitality supplements, calcium, vitamins and other health products for them to use according to the needs of growth and development in different time periods, so as to maintain good health in time.

Of course, if you find that the goldenrod squirrel has symptoms of disease, you should seek medical attention from a professional doctor as soon as possible. Avoid trying to heal yourself and worsen your condition.

Summary

If you want to raise a goldenrod squirrel, there are three ways to start. First, provide a comfortable, dry, clean environment with plenty of space; secondly, the type and quantity of food should be reasonably matched; Finally, pay attention to regular health check-ups and**.

If these factors are properly mastered, you can make your golden squirrel grow healthy and become a joyful and welcoming part of your life.

A one-month-old cub is envious, basically, Jinhua has been very well-behaved and very affectionate since she was a child. The unopened eyes should be fed, the one-month-old cubs can be fed with bread soaked in milk, and the older ones can be fed with all kinds of fruits and hard-shelled fruits. It's best not to use cardboard boxes to make a nest, my family basically gnaws one a day and a half, and then I bought a wooden nest and finally settled down.

Jinhua is very cute and very good to raise, the cheapest way to raise is to give raw sunflower seeds as a staple food, and then walnuts, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, pockmarks and so on, all kinds of fruits are also eaten, a day is estimated to eat two apples, my adult rats can only eat a quarter to half of an apple, in fact, their food is not particularly large. Finally, don't put the foam, for fear that it will gnaw off and eat it, you can put some rags in the wooden nest, and they will make their own nest. There is also that they can be trained to poop at a fixed point, my house is a newspaper at the bottom of the cage, and the newspaper is put on sawdust, which is changed once a day, and it doesn't smell good.

I hope I can help you, send my little naughty **, raised for more than a month, fat a big circle, but when I bought it back, it was already an adult, it is not easy to cultivate a sense of closeness to people, but there will be a return for love, and now the little guy will hold my fingers and lick the yogurt to eat.

I had one when I was younger. Due to traveling, foster care at a friend's house unfortunately ran away, now I am almost 30 years old, last summer I bought two more to raise, now 8 months, a male, a female, very cute.

Now that they are thriving and living a leisurely life, I naturally can't put it down, hehe.

This "mouse" is very easy to raise, play with them every day, mainly good for their living space, diet, etc., generally there will be no problems. My golden chipmunk has a very special personality.

Finally, even an adult chipmunk can't eat so many apples every day. Pine nuts don't have to be fed every day, and the cost is too high. Here's what I give them every day:

Within 10 peanuts, about 15 melon seeds (any melon seeds, as long as they are not too idle or mint-flavored), and an appropriate amount of seasonal fruits (one strawberry in winter, two small tomatoes, and occasionally a little apple; There are a lot of melons and fruits in summer, you can give anything, but not too much, it will be wasted). In addition, the white rice, soaked soybeans, vegetable leaves, etc. that people eat can be adjusted and fed in a timely manner to let them change their tastes. Of course, that's how my squirrels are fed.

I won't talk about it, in short, they're very interesting, you can raise them. It's much more interesting than having a dog or something.

The golden flower is too small and not fun, I recommend raising the demon king, the golden flower is 60 a, the demon king is 120-140, and the size is several times bigger. Whether it's watching or playing, it's much better than Jinhua. And the golden flower is caught more in the wild, and it is more powerful, and the demon king still has some farmers who specialize in breeding, and the degree of relatives is slightly higher.

Anyway, you don't expect these to be the same as cats and dogs, assuming that cats are 50% worse than dogs, then squirrels will be 100% worse than cats. This pet is okay to watch, and the interaction is far less than that of a dog. If you really want to raise it, it's better to have a small dog.

I don't know how old your cub is, you don't have to open your eyes, generally too small to drink milk powder, if you can already cage it, just have a nest to keep warm, don't use a shoebox, squirrels will be bad, it's best to make wood, DIY one yourself or go to **buy one!

Jinhua is very easy to raise, not bad! If you want to buy it, it's best to buy the one that has just been born, and it's okay to miss it for a month or two. As for putting a couple of foam boards around and a quilt underneath, that's nice.

There is also the fact that there are some sawdust in the nest shoebox, which is not good enough. Nests can be bought, or homemade, and the materials should be good. A temperature of around 20 is a good condition.

2 apples a day, again too much, and too few pine cones. Apples are one a day, which can be used for the beauty of rats. If you have 4 to 6 pine cones a day, you can grind your teeth.

I suggest you give him some bread worms. Can gain weight.

Good to raise. Food used for rearing.

Dietary staples: Rats are omnivorous animals and can eat almost anything. But the staple food is whole grains:

Be absolutely clean. Shishi's rats and rats, their mothers give them vegetables and fruits to get water! Because they're so small, a little moisture is enough!

They love to eat greens, remember to rinse them and dry them in the wind. Yellow sprouts and cabbage are also fine! But wash them all down!

Like tomatoes, cucumbers, apples and oranges can be eaten by them. 。About sunflower seeds.

There are also various types of melon seeds, such as sunflower seeds, sweet melon seeds, watermelon seeds, etc., which rats and rats love to eat. Rats and rats like to eat sunflower seeds, but the fat content of sunflower seeds is high, and rats and rats will eat too much to cause obesity, partial eating, malnutrition and other problems, so sunflower seeds can only be used as snacks or as non-essential products to enhance feelings, not to feed too much, a meal at most.

One or two will do. However, if it is in winter, you can add more calories to the rats to survive the cold winter. 。

Inedible foods. Although rats and rats are omnivorous animals, there are still things that cannot be eaten, if you accidentally eat them, you will have diarrhea and die if you are serious, you must not be careful!Spicy (irritating) food.

Such as chili peppers, green peppers, green onions, garlic, ginger, leeks, nine-layer culture, etc. 。Peaches, plums, apples and other kernels.

It is said to cause a rapid heartbeat in rats, which may lead to symptoms such as shock. The detailed reasons are not very clear, but it is better to believe them and be careful. The potassium content of the above things is high, so it is easy to cause rats to eat too much, tachycardia and die.

What people eat. What people eat, after cooking, is too oily and salty for rats and mice, which is very harmful to health, especially meat dishes or other oily snacks should not be eaten by rats!!

Selection of breeding cages.

Baby squirrels that have just left the nest are easy to tame if they are kept separately from their parents. Due to the rapidity, care should be taken to escape while feeding. In the unlikely event that you escape, avoid being bitten by a squirrel if you suddenly hold on to it.

A tall cage should be prepared, and in order to avoid lack of exercise, a sucker cart should be prepared in the cage for squirrels to play and exercise. At the same time, nest boxes should be installed. As a hiding place, hibernation occurs in nature, and if it is kept indoors in a warm room, it does not need to hibernate.

Due to poor heat tolerance, the cage should be moved to a well-ventilated area in the summer. Sawdust. It can absorb moisture and remove the taste, generally ** according to the weight in the range of 25-60 yuan.

Cat litter, newspaper is also OK) rollers. The roller is for rats and rats to exercise and play, there are separate ones on the market and there are cages together, if it is a separate one, remember not to buy wire, rats and rats are easy to sprain their feet. 。

Food bowls. The food bowl does not have to be bought for rats and rats, but can also be replaced by small dishes for human use. Bath tub and bath sand rats To keep them clean, bathing is a must!

So a bathtub is also required! Keeping it clean is the first requirement for a healthy rat!
