Winter is coming, what about the golden bear?
On the issue of bathing, many people will think that SS is washed with water, not with bath sand. A pack of more than ten dollars can last for a year or two. There is no need to change it every time, just a little at a time, the bottom layer is enough! Many people complain that it is too expensive to buy a bathroom or something. Let me introduce a simple one, just use a few transparent plastic lunch boxes. Every week when SS takes it out and puts it in, they will roll on their own and wash happily, and the sand will not fall everywhere with the lid (don't seal it). Actually, I think saving money sand is very practical ~
Generally speaking, raising SS requires the following initial investment: storage box/cage (essential), sawdust (essential), bath sand (essential), nest (recommended), rat food (recommended, don't prepare it yourself), runner (recommended, otherwise SS will not get enough exercise and lead a miserable life), kettle (recommended, or feed it with cotton swabs yourself).
Generally speaking, SS is the easiest pet to breed, and SS rarely dies. I have even seen an SS who was bitten off after the battle still alive. This brings us to the next question.
SS will fight, especially when the weather gets cold or there is not enough food, and as long as SS is injured, other SS will bully together, which makes SS fans very disappointed. First of all, emphasize that a good SS will not bite people often. Except for special reasons, the only time I was bitten at present was because of inexperience, and I was accidentally injured when I separated two SS players, with only a little cut. Therefore, SS lovers only need to pay attention to these special situations and use chopsticks and other tools to separate them, hoping not to be afraid of SS. Occasionally bitten by SS, I will open the wound, rinse it with water for a few minutes and then rinse it with disinfectant or hand sanitizer and soapy water several times. When improving SS, pay attention to improving SS in pairs or individually. It is best not to have unequal numbers of SS between men and women, which is easy to compete for spouses. SS should be raised together from childhood. If it's a halfway match, it's best to clean the rat house and change to a new cage. SS put them together after taking a shower. It is best to open the same cage with a small net for a few days and finally polyculture.
