Small knowledge of squirrel breeding
Squirrels exercise a lot, so it can be said that they are not as big as cages. In the wild, squirrels will jump up and down on the ground, so the cage must have a height. Buy it back and don't let it live in a small cage or a rotating cage. It is black-hearted traders who abuse them. Look at them. They can't stand straight in a small cage.
The cage is best made of all metal, and plastic or wood will be bitten. Put paper on the bottom to prevent the wires from snagging. It is best to open the cage door wide to facilitate the setting of the nest box. Clamp the door to prevent the squirrel from escaping. The nest box can be used for birds such as parrots. The water feeder can also be used for birds, and it is set at a convenient height for squirrels to quote. The pot has low height and good stability.
Fix some branches in the cage and let them climb up and grind their teeth. Let's talk about the nest material. Check the cage for edges and corners first, and remove it immediately. Then, after finishing according to the above method, you can put the nest material. As long as the nest materials are dry and clean, such as wool heads, rags, towels, paper towels and so on. You can also buy nesting materials for birds such as wheat straw in the market. Pay attention to the ink in the newspaper, don't use it!
