1. Pen:

When feeding, you can choose a cellar or open space as a feeding enclosure, and the enclosure can be surrounded by bricks and divided into three functional areas, which are respectively set as production and breeding area, breeding and mating area and feeding area.

Usually, the bamboo rat fence is divided into six layers, the upper three layers are used to raise female bamboo rats, and the production and breeding areas of the fence should be separated by glass to separate the production of the breeding areas for subsequent observation.

2. Seed selection:

When breeding bamboo rats, about 4 high-quality female rats produced last year are usually selected. This kind of bamboo rat should have the characteristics of docile, caring for its young, soft and smooth fur, weighing more than 1.25 kg, having more than three pairs of suckling nipples and being able to feed effectively.

Mating male mice should choose well-developed mice, with a weight of more than 65438±0.35kg, which has the characteristics of uniform testicular size and strong sexual desire.

3. Pay attention to the introduction and reproduction of bamboo rat;

Because bamboo rat is a kind of organism that is difficult to domesticate, it is necessary to avoid introducing rat species into the wild when selecting species. We should buy some successfully domesticated rat species from regular, powerful and large-scale bamboo rat farms, and choose to artificially cultivate bamboo rats after three generations.

At the same time, we should pay attention to the selection of active, robust and fertile rats. The male-female ratio of bamboo rats should be controlled at about 3: 1, and close relatives of rats should not mate with them.
