Rats everyone shouts and beats, rats seem to be born unpopular, especially in the countryside, rats are hated by farmers and friends, it will not only harm crops, steal food, bite people's wealth, but also spread a variety of diseases, several large plagues in history are caused by rats. Therefore, rats are not only hated in our country, but also in other countries abroad, and even many countries will use rats to curse people when they curse people.
However, although rats are hateful, not all rats are hated by people, among the rats, there are several rats that have found their own positioning, not only do not attract people to hate, but also be spoiled by people, including hamsters, squirrels, bamboo rats and so on. Today I want to share with you a kind of rat, it has not been in China for a long time, but it has become a rare pet loved by many people, and now the market price is at least 300 yuan a piece, it is a sleeping mouse.
It is not difficult to see from the name that one of the hobbies of sleeping mice is sleeping, but many friends may not imagine how well sleeping mice can sleep. There have been agricultural experts to do experiments with sleeping mice, in the absence of external interference, a sleeping mouse at least 9 months a year to sleep, of which 7 months is its hibernation time, in this time period, it is really thunderous, must sleep.
The remaining 2 months, the hibernation time of non-sleeping mice, but in addition to coming out at night to forage for food in cases of hunger, basically still sleeping. Sleeping rats do not have a long lifespan, generally only 5 years, and in these 5 years, 4 years are spent in sleep,
Because sleeping mice are too good at sleeping, and the quality of sleep is good, it is named "sleeping mice".
Sleeping mouse is small, generally only about 8 cm in length, weighs almost 30 grams, not yet adults half a palm size, so many people the first point to see it, will be caught by it, but in the past, it is not easy to see sleeping mice.
Unlike the average mouse, the sleeping mouse prefers to live only in forests, such as mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, dwarf montane forests, and evergreen bushes. It likes to build a nest on small branches, which looks like a bird's nest, and its range of motion in its lifetime is not too large, generally within a radius of about 100 meters near its nest.
Sleeping rats can not only sleep, but also very lazy, every year to the breeding season, other animals are out to find a mate, sleeping rats still sleep during the day, go to forage at night, the result is a problem, many sleeping rats have no companion throughout their lives.
In addition, when agricultural experts experimented on sleeping mice, they also found that if the temperature is suitable, many sleeping rats often can't sleep, directly in sleep due to hunger and death, and this is not an individual phenomenon, is the situation that most sleeping rats will appear, so now sleeping rats have also become a protective animal, can be regarded as the only endangered animal in the animal kingdom because of love to sleep.
Sleeping rats are mainly distributed in Asia, Europe and Africa, a total of 20 species, China accounts for two species, respectively distributed in Xinjiang forest sleeping rats and distributed in Sichuan hairy sleeping rats, of course, this sleeping mouse is also China's protection animals, but also because of love to sleep, too lazy not to love to find a companion and become an endangered animal, so if you see it in the wild, do not catch Oh.
Nowadays, in Sichuan and Xinjiang, there are also farmers who specialize in breeding sleeping mice, which not only alleviates the endangered status of sleeping mice, but also makes sleeping mice a very popular and rare pet on the market, but sleeping mice can not have the same fertility as mice, bamboo rats and other rats, so even if there is artificial breeding, the number of sleeping mice is still very rare, so the price in the market will be more expensive, generally 300 yuan a piece.
