If it is a golden mouse, it is possible to keep one. It is best to raise a man and a woman separately, and it doesn't matter if they are of the same sex. They are just grumpy, and they may fight with each other and have disharmony problems.

Hamsters are small things with weak vitality and easy to die. It's best to figure out how to raise it to make it live longer.
Breeding hamster
How to choose a healthy hamster?
If you want to keep a mouse, don't go to a pet store to buy it, or see if your friend's mouse has a baby to give away. But how do we choose a healthy mouse? Here are some methods for your reference.
If you go to a pet store to buy it, the first thing to do is to see whether the environmental sanitation of this pet store is unsanitary and whether the clerk has a good attitude towards mice. In addition, there are several important things to choose rats and mice:
1. Choose a mouse with eyes but no shit.
2. See if the mouse has a runny nose. If it does, don't pick it.
3. Whether the shape of the ear is intact and whether there are traces of being bitten.
If this mouse is too weak or sick, it can't be bullied and bitten by other mice.
4. Teeth will not extend outward. If so, it means that the occlusion is abnormal.
5, the coat color is shiny, no hair loss, no tumor.
6. The tail can't be wet, or it's not good to have feces and dirt attached to the anus, indicating that this mouse may have diarrhea.
7. When walking abnormally, there is no sense of stiffness, and physical health is also the focus.
If everything looks good, there should be no problem. Finally, choose a mouse you like. Besides its coat color, you should also consider whether it will be close to the people. Generally speaking, it is easy to get close to the golden vole and the Gakaria vole after a period of breeding, but it is more difficult for the Campbell vole and the Roborovski vole, especially the Roborovski vole itself is a timid and sensitive animal, so it may take some time to gain its trust in you.
As for whether to raise a good one or a pair, basically, if it is Dorset, it is best to raise more than two.
If it is a golden mouse, it is possible to keep one. If you want to keep a pair, it's better to keep them separately. When you want to mate and reproduce, put the female mouse in the cage of the male mouse, and then separate after mating.
Mouse breeding environment:
The optimum temperature is 20-28℃. Avoid direct sunlight or strong wind, but pay attention to ventilation. Don't be too close to TV, stereo and computer. Rats can hear sounds that humans can't. Radiation and noise should be avoided.
Summer: It is best not to turn on the air conditioner, because turning off the air conditioner when going out and turning on the air conditioner when entering the house will make the temperature difference inside the house too large, and mice are very sensitive to the temperature and are prone to catch a cold.
Winter: Don't put it outdoors, because it is too cold, and mice will hibernate. Spread more mats such as sawdust and provide wooden or thatched houses for mice to keep warm. Or give more napkins and let the mice make their own nests. The easiest way is to put the whole cage in a cardboard box or a plastic box, but pay attention to ventilation.
Basic articles for rats and mice:
prison
Food basin
Most cages have their own food cans. If you need to buy it yourself, you can use an ordinary small container, as long as it is not easy to knock over and the edge is not too high, otherwise the mouse can't climb in. Commonly used containers: glass ashtray, soy sauce plate, various small bowls, microwave oven box. Current price: 3- 10 yuan.
waterer
Most cages have their own drinking fountains, and it is best to install one when DIY, because both mice and mice need to drink water. Drinking fountains are generally designed with stainless steel beads at the front end. Pay attention to test whether there is water leakage when buying. Never take a bowl of water directly, because mice will get wet when drinking water, or go swimming, which is easy to catch cold and get sick. If it really doesn't work, feed more fruits and vegetables to the mice.
lavatory
An ordinary plastic box containing cat litter is a relatively simple toilet. It is in line with personal hygiene habits to take out or replace all the caked cat litter every day. Mice raised by people who love cleanliness also love cleanliness.
bathroom
Some mice will bathe with cat litter in the toilet. It's not hygienic, but it's their preference. There is no need for a shower room at this time. But some mice love to be clean, so the owner should buy them a shower room, put bath sand on it and let them roll and make holes. Bath sand should be disinfected, or you can wash the fine sand yourself, put it in the microwave oven for disinfection and drying, and mix it with talcum powder to make bath sand. It is best not to use talcum powder directly, because it is too irritating and easy to hurt the eyes of mice.
active wheel
Most cages have their own running wheels, because wild rats run 20 kilometers a day, so proper exercise is very important for rats. Without enough exercise, rats and mice will be under too much pressure, fighting with each other and biting cages. So the careful master should give the mouse a wheel. At the same time, because the current owners give good nutrition to rats and mice, rats and mice are often obese and prone to cardiovascular diseases, so even rats and mice should have normal and healthy bodies. Pay attention when buying, and choose seamless running wheels, so that rats and mice are not easy to get hurt. Current price: 10-80 yuan
Wood chips
Many materials can be used as bedding materials for rat cages, but most people will choose sawdust because it is clean and easy to get. When using paper mats, be careful not to use printing paper. Ink is poisonous, and mice will be poisoned.
Molar stone/grinding rod
Rats' teeth will continue to grow, and they need to be ground off with a grinding rod.
cottage
These huts are made of ceramics, wood, grass and plastic. Rats and mice like them very much, because rats and mice are animals who love to make holes. If possible, rats and mice should be equipped with a hut. Current price: 10-45 yuan
Timetable:
When you bring a hamster home, it will be very sensitive, nervous and lost for a long time because it has left its living environment and its mother and brothers and sisters. Sometimes I bite, stay in a daze and refuse to eat. This period is a crucial period for you to build trust with rats. If it is not handled well, it is difficult to establish a good relationship. It is possible that your mouse will become a bad mouse that always bites people! This is the timetable. Don't worry, get along with your mouse a little:
Day 1 day: Let it adapt to the new environment, don't disturb it at all, don't touch it, and don't take it away.
2 days: You can feed it by hand, talk to it softly, and make it familiar with your smell and voice.
Day 5: You can gently pick it up and put it in your hand (don't let it fall or run away).
Day 10: You can enjoy it.
Pay attention when holding hamsters: Sleeping hamsters don't like being disturbed, so make sure they are awake before holding them. You should first pull out its nest so that it can see you, and then gently pick it up. If it doesn't want to, don't force it.
Food for mice:
Edible food:
Vegetables: green vegetables (such as Qingjiang vegetables), carrots, melons (preferably green and yellow vegetables), seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts (not too much), fruits, apples, strawberries, cherries, bananas, grapes (please don't give too much because of too much sugar), cereal chicken feed, pigeon feed, bird feed and wheat.
Feeding amount: It is easier to supply hamsters with more food than less, because hamsters have the habit of storing food. If there is not enough food, they will be very upset. Therefore, if you find that the dish basin is always empty every time you add food, it means that you add too little food. At the same time, you should pay attention to clean up the unfinished food in time, especially the water-containing things such as fruits, to prevent deterioration.
Attention: harmful food
fruit
Seeds of almond, plum, pipa, peach, peach and apple (can cause heart paralysis, gastrointestinal dysfunction and dyspnea)
garden stuff
Onion leaves and stems, onion leaves (which will destroy blood components), garlic, ginger, leeks, celery (which is too irritating), tomatoes and potatoes.
Plant class
Narcissus, tulip, morning glory, azalea, orchid, calamus, hyacinthus orientalis, fern, cyclamen, hydrangea, platycodon grandiflorum, fern and iris.
Other human snacks, biscuits, chocolate, coffee (these two foods can cause heart paralysis), wine.
Food suitable for all seasons >
spring
● When you want ss to breed: increase wheat, pumpkin, carrot, dried fish, milk, cheese, etc. And reduce the variety of melon seeds.
● When you don't want to be in estrus, you mainly feed vegetables, high protein such as walnuts and peanuts. Should be reduced.
summer
Give more fruits and vegetables with more water, and give more water.
Reduce feed.
Autumn to winter
Increase the amount of melon seeds, peanuts, cheese, cream, dried fish and carrots.

3. Hamster's teeth]
Hamsters are also rodents, so their front teeth are always growing. Rodents chew hard objects to keep their teeth short.
Hard hamster feed
Hamster's teeth are dangerous if they grow at will. In some cases, teeth will grow through the gills of hamsters.
And the teeth are too long to eat delicious food. If hamsters are not sick and don't eat, it may be because their teeth are too long, so be sure to pay attention. If you only give vegetables or soft food, the above situation may occur.
So hamster feed is also made into solid hard objects.
Hamster's teeth are broken.
Hamster's teeth often break because of falls or conflicts, so the teeth that are not broken will definitely grow faster because of gaps. But the broken teeth will grow back as usual. Causes the front teeth to bend or protrude forward, and then may die of malnutrition due to abnormal eating.
Giving too many sunflower seeds will lead to calcium deficiency.
Hamsters also eat too many sunflower seeds (unbalanced eating habits-most S parents will give too many sunflower seeds for a long time because ss loves to eat), and their teeth are easy to break.
Old hamsters, in particular, are too old and have severe calcium deficiency, so their teeth are easy to break. So you should always check the hamster's teeth. Therefore, foods rich in calcium should be given more (for example, anchovies are dried fish, milk and so on). ).
Breeding color matching of hamster
Three lines+three lines = three lines
Three lines+three lines (with sub-warehouse gene) = three lines+three lines (with sub-warehouse gene)
Triple line+purple warehouse = triple line (with purple warehouse gene)
Three lines (with purple barn gene)+three lines (with purple barn gene) = three lines (1/4)+ three lines (with purple barn gene) (1/2)+ purple barn (1/4).
Subbin+Subbin = Subbin
Silver fox+silver fox = three lines (1/4)+ silver fox (1/2), and the rest (1/4 dominant genes are paired and absorbed by the mother).
(Note: Silver fox belongs to (dominant) gene. When the silver fox is mated with the silver fox, the dominant gene of the paired silver fox will be absorbed by the female mouse, which will reduce the probability of the female mouse giving birth to the silver fox and affect the overall pregnancy probability of the female mouse, so it is not recommended to breed the silver fox with the silver fox. )
Silver Fox+Triple Line = Triple Line+Deep Back Line Silver Fox (Triple Line Silver Fox)
Silver fox+sub-warehouse = three lines+silver fox with shallow back line (sub-warehouse silver fox)
Pudding information is currently unknown.
Three-line silver fox (with sub-warehouse gene)+three-line =
Three lines+three lines (with purple gene)+three lines of silver fox+three lines of silver fox (with purple gene)
Three-line silver fox (with sub-warehouse gene)+three-line (with sub-warehouse gene) =.
Tri-line (1/8)+ Tri-line (with sub-warehouse gene) (1/4)+ Tri-line Silver Fox (1/8)+ Tri-line Silver Fox (with sub-warehouse gene) (1/4)+
Subwarehouse (1/8)+ Subwarehouse Silver Fox (1/8)
Three-line Silver Fox (with Subwarehouse Gene)+Subwarehouse =
Triple line (with purple gene)+purple+triple line silver fox (with purple gene)+purple silver fox
Purple silver fox+three lines = three lines (with purple gene)+three lines silver fox (with purple gene)
Purple silver fox+triple line (with purple gene) =
Triple line (with purple gene)+purple+triple line silver fox (with purple gene)+purple silver fox
Purple warehouse silver fox+purple warehouse = purple warehouse silver fox+purple warehouse
Take good care of the pregnant mother mouse, and take special care during childbirth.
Pregnant female rats, in order to maintain physical production and take care of their babies, in the third week of pregnancy,
There are still three weeks of breastfeeding, and there are still six weeks. Be sure to give them the best care.
The food is mainly fresh and nutritious. Maternal rats are very harmful to production, and they need to be thoroughly supplemented with nutrition after delivery.
In order to avoid the deterioration of female rats' physique and shorten their life span.
Cheese: At present, there is no cheese specially for mice, only cheese balls specially for mice, which are a kind of Huang Chengcheng.
Cheese cookies. If you want to give cheese to mice, you can give it to dogs and cats, one piece at a time.
It is forbidden for human beings to eat cheese because it may contain too much salt.
Dried fish: people don't eat dried fish! Rats and mice have special dried fish which can supplement the calcium loss of female rats.
Rats can also eat more during their development.
Breadform: You can buy it in most aquarium shops and bird shops, which is quite nutritious.
Can provide a large amount of protein, which is very helpful for the nutritional supplement of female rats.
If you dare not face live worms, there are canned breadworms to choose from.
Milk: It is recommended to dilute the milk before giving it to rats and mice, or choose milk substitutes for small animals.
Milk is a perishable food. If milk is provided by a water bottle, it must be changed every six hours.
Especially in summer, the weather is hot and the speed of acid deterioration is quite fast, so the owner can't help but pay attention.
First of all, diarrhea
There are many causes of dysentery. The feed suddenly becomes different, the weather suddenly becomes cold, and even the change of feeding environment may cause dysentery. If it is simple dysentery, most of them can be cured by resting at home.
However, many cases of diarrhea are dangerous, and if treatment is delayed, rats and mice are likely to be in a critical state. Therefore, diarrhea in rats and mice should never be underestimated, and the condition should not be observed for two or three days. Take them to the doctor as soon as they find out.
Diarrhea can be roughly divided into the following four types:
1: bacterial enteritis
Causes and symptoms-diarrhea caused by eating rotten food, unsanitary environment or excessive pressure, and then bacterial infection affects intestinal absorption.
Treatment-at first, you can take antibiotics or antidiarrheal drugs orally, but if you don't get better, it will aggravate dehydration, so you should add some nutrition. In addition, if there is rectal prolapse from anus, medical or surgical treatment is needed.
2. Fungal enteritis
Causes and symptoms-fungi are also molds. Most cases are a yeast, which is similar to the infection route of bacterial enteritis. Most infected mice will have physical deterioration, and fungi can be found through microscopic examination.
Treatment-you can take both antidiarrheal drugs and antifungal drugs orally.
3. Parasitic enteritis
Causes and symptoms-the so-called parasitic enteritis is due to the existence of some parasites belonging to protozoa in intestinal flagella, such as trichomonas. The symptoms of infection are mostly soft stools and watery stools, and dehydration can occur in severe cases.
Treatment-both antidiarrheal drugs and anthelmintics can be taken orally at the same time. The feces of diarrhea rats must be cleaned up immediately and the cages should be disinfected.
4. Wet tail disease
Etiology and symptoms-I'm sorry I can't find the official Chinese name of this disease. It is called wet tail disease in Japan, and its official name is infectious ileitis. Because the tail will get wet, it is called wet tail disease. At present, clinical diagnosis is very difficult, because bacterial enteritis, parasitic enteritis and fungal enteritis can all occur, especially in young rats 3~5 weeks after birth.
Treatment-early detection and early treatment, because the mortality rate is high. Another netizen provided the following remedies, but the curative effect is unknown.
Levodox has antipyretic effect in principle, but long-term use of TC, tetracycline itself, will cause serious hepatorenal toxicity (especially nephrotoxicity) to rats and mice. If the dosage is added to drinking water, 3MG/ML a week, the dosage is insufficient, and it is easy to produce drug resistance symptoms.
Second, the general disease 1: constipation
Causes and symptoms-fungi are also molds. Most cases are a yeast, which is similar to the infection route of bacterial enteritis. Most infected mice will have physical deterioration, and fungi can be found through microscopic examination.
Treatment-you can take both antidiarrheal drugs and antifungal drugs orally.
Step 2 catch a cold
Causes and symptoms-most of the causes of colds are virus, mold and bacterial infections. For example, the padding of the cage is made of paper, which is wet by the urine of the mouse, and ammonia gas is produced when it doesn't go to the place, then
Our environment is also prone to mildew.
It is especially easy to catch a cold when the season changes. If there are sneezing, runny nose, tears, eye stains and other phenomena, the body temperature is higher than usual, that is, a cold. If it worsens, it may lead to pneumonia or dyspnea.
Treatment-Take the mouse to the doctor as soon as possible. The general treatment is oral antibiotics. In addition, attention should be paid to the cage insulation and temperature change control before the cold is cured.
3. Eye dirt
Causes and symptoms-Usually, when there is something wrong with the eyes, most of them will produce eye scale, or when there is something wrong with the body function, eye scale will also appear. If it's not an eye disease, you should have a general examination. Don't ignore it.
Treatment-Simple conjunctivitis can be cured by eye drops. In the case of allergic conjunctivitis, the stuffing in the cage and the sand in the toilet must be removed quickly.
4. malocclusion
Causes and symptoms-Rats' teeth will grow all the time, so they have to grind them off by biting hard objects. But somehow, if the rats' upper and lower teeth are different in length or malocclusion, they will not be able to bite, even lose their appetite, and their mouths will not be completely closed, resulting in drooling. Some rats and mice suffer from congenital malocclusion, but most of them are because the teeth are deformed or bent or broken from the root when biting the cage. In order to avoid this situation, it is best to put some hard food for mice to grind their teeth, or mineral stones sold in the market.
Treatment-take the mouse to the animal hospital and let the doctor grind the mouse's teeth to the right length.
5. Inflammation of the capsular bag
Causes and symptoms-Rats and mice are used to putting food in bags and then spitting it out before eating. But if the food is kept in the bag, it may cause food spoilage.
Especially chocolate and bread, if put in a bag, it will rot easily. Because of this, there will be a tumor on the head and a rotten smell, which should be easy to find.
In addition, the capsule contains quite a lot of vascular tissue, which is easy to be injured, so food that is too hard and sharp is easy to cause damage to the capsule, thus causing inflammation and suppuration.
Treatment-take mice and mice to the hospital, let the doctor take out the rotten food in the bag, clean the mucosa in the bag and take antibiotics at the same time.
6. Fracture and sprain
Causes and symptoms-There are many reasons for fractures and sprains in rats and mice. For example, rats can easily trip over their feet in cages, especially their hind feet. Some people put things in cages and towels to keep mice warm, but because there are many meshes on the towels, it is easy to hook the feet of mice. In addition, the length of mouse claws will always get longer, and if it is too long, it will be easy to get hurt. Falling from a height or fighting with a partner may also lead to sprains or fractures.
Symptoms of fracture or sprain are as follows:
A: The injured foot will always be raised and cannot touch the ground, even when walking.
B: the movements become strange or dull.
C: If you hurt your spine, you may be paralyzed in the lower body.
Treatment-if there is traumatic bleeding, first disinfect to stop bleeding, and then ask the doctor to check whether there is a fracture with X-ray. If it is a fracture, it is difficult to cast plaster, so most of them are implanted with thin steel nails through surgery.
To avoid this situation completely, the most important thing is to pay attention to the feeding environment, which is the fundamental way.
7: Tumors
Etiology and symptoms-Like humans, tumors in rats and mice can be divided into benign and malignant tumors. Malignant and benign judgments do not need to be judged by tissue biopsy. Malignant tumor may metastasize to other parts after resection.
Treatment-The treatment of malignant tumors is the same as that of humans, but taking anticancer drugs will have side effects. If it is only a simple purulent tumor, it can be cleaned and disinfected after incision, and then treated with antibiotics. If it is a benign tumor, it should be curable as long as it is removed.
8: Lipoma
Causes and symptoms-too much fat in the body can't be excreted, and fat tumors will occur. The prevention method is not to give rats high-calorie food eaten by humans, and not to feed sunflower seeds too much.
Treatment-it can be removed by surgery, but it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't affect the body function.
9: Uterine tumor
Etiology and symptoms-this is a disease that only mothers have, that is, tumors are produced in the uterus and ovaries. Most of the reasons are caused by infection.
Treatment-like cats and dogs, remove the uterus or ovaries and take antibiotics.
10: Heart disease
Etiology and symptoms-most of them are diseases that only old mice have. Is the symptom dyspnea? Loss of appetite? Poor athletic ability. X-ray examination can show whether there are diseases such as ventricular hypertrophy.
Treatment-Can I take diuretics? Vasodilators and cardiotonic agents, etc. To stabilize the condition.
1 1: lymphocytic meningitis
Etiology and symptoms-the etiology is caused by a virus called Arena, and humans may also be infected. The symptoms of infection are mostly spasms? Hindlimb walking disorder? Growth retardation and other symptoms.
The urine of infected rats and mice will contain these viruses from urine, which may be transmitted to other companions or humans, so special attention should be paid.
Treatment-there is no treatment at present, so we can only passively avoid secondary infection.
12: Liver disease
Causes and symptoms-because of nutritional imbalance? Or a virus? Bacteria and other reasons. Symptoms include worsening liver function? Liver enlargement? There is water in the abdomen.
Treatment-diagnosis can be made by blood examination of liver function and liver enzymes. Improving the balance of food nutrition is the best way.
Third, skin diseases.
There are quite a few symptoms of skin diseases. Do you have hair loss? The skin is red and swollen? Or dry skin produces things like dandruff. Because of the different symptoms, rats and mice may keep scratching around, leading to bleeding. If the area of dermatosis spreads to the whole body, it will cause the physical decline of rats and mice and induce other diseases, so it can not be ignored. However, the cure of skin diseases takes a long time, so you should be patient.
However, in addition to simple skin diseases, there are some special skin diseases as follows:
1: parasitic dermatitis
Causes and symptoms-lice are parasitic in hair follicles of skin tissue and live by eating the skin of the host. If rats and mice are infected with this disease, lice are mostly parasitic in this area from the neck to the buttocks, and most of them will continue to itch, which can lead to complications such as decreased immunity in severe cases.
Treatment-Take rats and mice to the hospital, and examine hair follicles with a high-power microscope to confirm whether there are lice. If there is, it can be treated by injection and application of insect repellent, but there may be side effects, which will lead to loss of appetite in rats and mice.
2. Nutritional dermatitis
Causes and symptoms-The proportion of protein in the feed eaten by rats and mice is less than 16%, which will cause nutritional dermatitis if it is eaten all the time. Symptoms are easy to lose hair, especially on the limbs and face.
Treatment-as long as the feed is improved, it can be improved by adding minerals and vitamins.
3. Bacterial dermatitis
Causes and symptoms-bacterial infection due to unclean cages or being bitten by peers. If bitten and infected, not only skin infection, but also subcutaneous tissue and muscle parts may be infected, thus causing inflammation and swelling.
4. Allergic dermatitis
Causes and symptoms-due to allergies to cage mats or feed, the symptoms are mostly mild alopecia and eczema from limbs to abdomen.
Treatment-you must first find out what allergens are, remove allergens and take anti-allergic drugs.
Hamster has loose bowels.
You can give less food and something digested and dried, such as cereal.
No fruits and vegetables. If you have diarrhea for a period of time, it is easy to dehydrate and you need to add a small amount of purified water.
Yeast tablets and lactase can cure diarrhea, and the dosage is 200% of that of people. Take anti-inflammatory drugs if you have inflammation.
No, probably because there is nothing to eat in my stomach. Give me some lactase. Mash the tablet into powder, mix it with water, make it into slurry and feed it directly.
