The pudding rat has a very gentle personality, is highly interactive with people, and is easy to care for, so it is very suitable to be a small pet rat for novices or children.

Living habits:

Pudding babies are not in good health because they do not like to exercise and like to sleep. Moreover, the genetically mutated varieties are inherently weak and have weak disease resistance, so they are dead. The hamster with the highest birth rate and the lowest birth rate.

Pudding is mentally fragile. Do not disturb it in the first few days after you buy it. Cover the cage with a dark cloth to give it a quiet environment. Do not feed it frequently or pet it. This will frighten Pudding. Shock is fatal to pudding. Pudding is very lazy. He eats a lot and likes to sleep. He gets fat easily. Obesity is the enemy of SS’s health. Pudding doesn’t like rollers very much and it’s difficult for him to move. All he can do is prepare a large space for him to run around in. That’s it, no matter how much exercise you do, you may not be able to do it.

Training method:

1. Because pudding rats are in the wild, their daily activity is about 20 kilometers, so be sure to place running wheels to let them exercise to avoid insufficient exercise and stress. Too big.

2. There is also a rolling ball, which can lock the pudding mouse inside and let it roll around on the ground. This method is inhumane, because it is a forced exercise method. The pudding rat cannot rest in it, and it is only suitable for 1 or 2 minutes.

Raising methods:

Eating aspects:

1. Pudding rats cannot eat human food because human food contains too much salt, which exceeds that of pudding rats. food standards.

2. The staple food of pudding rats is whole grains. Never feed them dog feed or cat feed.

3. Pudding rats like to eat sunflower seeds, but they cannot take sunflower seeds as their main food.

4. Be sure to give the pudding rat a food bowl, which is easier to clean and cleaner.

5. There must be a drinking fountain, which is a vessel for the pudding rat to drink water.

6. Drinking water should be kept clean and changed at least once a week.

Accommodation:

1. The hamster’s cage should be filled with bedding material. Such as pasture, wood chips, etc.

2. Forage grass should be sterilized.

3. Sawdust is a commonly used bedding material. Be careful not to use self-planed wood chips that contain decorative chemicals.

4. Paper can also be used as a backing material, but newspapers containing ink or photocopy waste paper are absolutely not acceptable.

5. Some pudding rats like toilet paper very much, but you should pay attention to whether the toilet paper contains fluorescent agents.

6. Generally speaking, the amount of cushion material placed is less when the temperature is high and more when the temperature is low.

7. The mat material needs to be replaced after a period of time, basically once a week.

8. Ventilation is a very important factor when choosing a mouse cage, because pudding rats are temperate rats that are afraid of heat and can easily die of heatstroke.

9. There needs to be a mouse nest inside the mouse cage. You can place one or use thick cardboard to block one, and the mouse nest will make it feel safe.

10. Pudding rats are small in size, and their poop is like millet, which is not smelly. However, their urine will smell. However, because the amount of urine is not large, it only needs to be kept clear. You can place a rat toilet filled with toilet sand inside so that the pudding rats can defecate and urinate in it for easy cleaning.

Cleaning:

The Pudding Rat takes a sand bath. When clean bath sand is put into the bathroom, the Pudding Rat will roll around in it. This is his bath. In the way of cleaning, if you find that the pudding rat's body is oily, it means that it has not been cleaned well. You need to hold it in your hands, artificially place the bath sand in the oily area and "scrub" it manually.

Notes:

(1) Do not feed human food. Too much salt and overly seasoned food will increase the burden on the rat's body.

(2) Please do not touch the sun directly. Rats are very afraid of heat. When summer comes, please use heat sinks or marble to cool them down.

(3) Do not wash the rat’s body with water. Pudding rats should be bathed with professional hamster bath sand.

(4) Please understand your own rat species. Rats that live alone or of different species are prohibited from being kept in cages.

(5) If you are not mentally prepared or financially capable, do not keep female rats and male rats in the same cage. The reproductive capacity of rats is very impressive.

(6) Please do not use unhealthy or unknown feed. If it is wormy or moldy, please discard it and do not feed it.

(7) Do not let rats drink dirty water. Please let them drink boiled water.

(8) Please do not use bamboo chopsticks, popsicle sticks and other things to allow rats to grind their teeth. Please use the teething supplies and feed specifically for rats on the market.

(9) Please do not use newspapers, tissue paper, etc. as cushion materials. Newspapers have too much ink and the tissue paper contains bleach.

(10) Do not keep rats in a space that is too small. The space must have at least rollers, water bottles, food bowls, small nests and other daily necessities that hamsters need.

(11) Rats have a strong reproductive capacity. Try not to mix them, and pay attention to separate cages for males and females.

Extended information:

Pudding rats, like other pet rats, have the advantages of not taking up space, easy feeding and cleaning, docile personality, and low cost, so they are very popular in those spaces. A favorite among office workers with limited time, they quickly became popular pets.

The pudding rat, a type of Jakalia hamster, is a breed developed by the Japanese in the laboratory in the early 1990s. It is the result of genetic mutation, so if someone says that the pudding rat is a wild variety , that would be wrong. The fur color of pudding hamsters is generally golden and shiny, just like delicious custard pudding, which is also the origin of the name of pudding hamsters. Of course, the fur color of pudding hamsters ranges from creamy yellow to golden yellow. There are also white pudding and discolored pudding. The back has a slightly larger fur color. Deep topline.

Color of offspring:

(Color changing) pudding + (Color changing) pudding = Sanxian + Purple warehouse + (Color changing) pudding (the rest depends on genes)

( Discoloration) pudding + (non-discoloration) pudding = Sanxian + Purple warehouse + (discoloration) pudding (it is not clear whether it will produce non-discoloration)

(discoloration) pudding + (Purple warehouse) silver fox = purple Cang + Sanxian + (Color Changing) Pudding + Silver Fox + (Color Changing) Golden Fox (Most of the breeds produced are not in good color)

(Color Changing) Pudding + Purple Cang = Purple Cang + Sanxian + (Color Changing) Pudding

(Color-changing) pudding + Sanxian = Purple warehouse + Sanxian + (Color-changing) pudding

(No discoloration) Pudding + Purple warehouse = (Color-changing) pudding + Purple warehouse + Sanxian

p>

(Does not change color) Pudding + Sanxian = (Changes color) Pudding + Purple warehouse + Sanxian

(Does not change color) Pudding + (Purple warehouse) Silver Fox = (Does not change color) Pudding + (Purple Cage) Silver Fox + Golden Fox + Purple Cang + Third Line

The mouse cage should be cleaned frequently to give the mice a clean living environment. The litter should be cleaned once every two days on average, otherwise it will smell. Place some activated charcoal or cooling oil around to absorb odors.

Hamster’s teeth grow very quickly, so the molars must be replaced regularly.

Hamsters are omnivores, so it is best to eat more rat food, because it is a reasonably balanced nutritional mix. You can feed some nuts, fruits, eggs, oats and yogurt to supplement nutrition. Do not feed spicy and seasoned foods as they are not good for the hair. You can also buy some hamster-specific snacks and some vitamin pills and hair removal pills.

It is suitable to use porcelain nests in summer and resin nests in winter. Put some sawdust and cotton inside to give it a wadding nest. If you only want to buy one nest, you can choose plastic. Buy a larger nest and it will be easier to live in. Be more comfortable. Hamsters like to hide food in their nests. Remember to put it back when cleaning the cage, otherwise it will be sad, desperate and painful. I have heard that wild mice will commit suicide if their food is dug up, but I don’t know if this is true.

Prepare a bathroom and bath salts. Some mice cannot bathe, so you can buy dry cleaning spray and hair combs.

The running wheel should be bigger, preferably the big wheel used by bears, otherwise the small wheel will get stuck in as it grows and becomes fat. Hamster toys other than swings and running wheels are not very practical. After all, the space in the cage becomes smaller if there are too many hamsters. Hamsters still love to play with wheels. If they do not exercise enough, they will suffer from heart disease.

Hamsters need to drink cold water. Drinking cold water directly will make them sick. Carefully choose a kettle that does not leak.
