What are the advantages of Dutch pigs over hamsters?

Dutch pigs and hamsters are very cute little animals, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, which summarizes the advantages of Dutch pigs compared to hamsters.

I have been raising Dutch pigs for 15 years and hamsters for 13 years, and I am quite familiar with both small animals.

What are the advantages of Dutch pigs over hamsters?

1. Dutch pigs live longer

The biggest problem with hamsters is their short lifespan.

The average life expectancy is only about two and a half years.

And Dutch pigs live longer,

The average life expectancy is 5-7 years, and most pets are kept for about 5 years.

Too short a life span actually seriously affects the feeling of pet ownership,

After all, raising pets to cultivate particularly good feelings generally takes half a year to a year.

It also depends on the interactivity of the pet.

The interaction is shorter, and the hamster, a semi-ornamental pet, generally takes up to a year.

This leads to hamsters just cultivating their feelings to middle and old age,

Even many hamsters have just cultivated their feelings and have reached the end of their life.

Dutch pigs are more interactive than hamsters.

After all, social animals, emotional cultivation will be faster, life expectancy is longer, emotional investment return will be longer.

2. Dutch pigs are more interactive

Dutch pigs are social animals,

Therefore, raising it will naturally treat the owner as companionship, and it is easy to cultivate a sense of trust.

Hamsters are standard solitary animals.

When not in heat, a male and a female are beaten, and the next day less than half or even one.

Although most hamsters are kept for a period of time,

Can be familiar with and dependent on the owner, but will still maintain a certain vigilance.

Good interaction with the owner like a Dutch pig,

It takes a long time for hamsters to train out, which encounters another problem, that is, longevity...

3. Dutch pigs bite less

Dutch pigs are vegan animals,

They are not interested in meat, nor in the hands of the owner.

Plus they are social animals,

They didn't mind much about the owner entering their cage.

Hamsters are omnivores,

I am also interested in meat.

Hamsters are very territorial,

They may be aggressive against other animals entering the territory.

Dutch pigs can also bite,

However, most of them are because of bad eyes, thinking that the food sent in by the owner is nibbling on it, and it is not enough to see if it is forgotten.

4. The survival rate of Dutch pigs is higher

Originally, the survival rate of the two small animals was not much different,

This is mainly due to the difference in survival rates caused by the current breeding pattern of the feedlot.

Hamsters reproduce particularly quickly,

One month of pregnancy, one month of lactation, two months of reproduction.

And when the feedlot breeds,

Often the lactation period is not full, and the weaning begins to sell in ten days.

One is to save feeding costs, so that the female hamster breeds the next litter earlier.

There is also transportation, sales leave enough time, otherwise hamsters will be adults for more than a month and it is difficult to sell (adult hamsters are not good to sell).

Dutch pig breeding is a little more troublesome,

After all, the pregnancy period is more than two months, and the lactation period is about 20 days.

Little Dutch pigs actually have the problem of early weaning,

However, the baby Dutch pig is born with hair and can already eat, and the impact of early weaning is less.

The above operations,

As a result, the survival rate of small Dutch pigs is higher than that of hamsters.

Of course, hamsters have a low survival rate and a problem of inbreeding,

Although this problem is common in many aspects of pet breeding (close relatives are more capable of fixing breed and coat color).

But everyone knows the adverse consequences of inbreeding,

With each generation of breeding, the number of genetic defects in the offspring increases by a certain proportion.

The reproductive rate of a hamster for two months or even more than a month generation,

This flaw was magnified by the false accusation.
