Honey Marser Shrew Feeding Guide - What is the Honey Marsapper Shrew and is it a rodent? What are the features?

1. Honey Marser shrew (scientific name: Petaurus breviceps), belonging to the mammalian order → posterior thermopods→ kangaroos (dipterodondae) → marsappie family→ marsuches, is a marsupial native to Australia.

2. Honey possum is not a rodent, rodents are a collective term for rodents under the euphrasia, and honey marsappers are the kangaroos of the posterior theopod, which belongs to the more primitive mammals of the possum. It looks like a rodent because of convergent evolution.

3. Honey bag shrew ≠ shrew. Although they all have a shrew, there is a considerable difference. The squirrel (flying squirrel) is a rodent of the order Euphrasidae, Rodents, and squirrels, and is similar in appearance to honey marsupials due to convergence and evolution, and they are not related to each other.

4. Honey bag shrew is a marsupial animal, the body structure is relatively primitive, the pregnancy period is very short, the newborn cub is like a red bean, will climb into the mother's nursery bag while feeding while continuing to develop, until more than a month to two months later in the bag can not stay, will be out of the bag. So generally speaking, when you see the mother's belly is large, the cub is actually born, but it will not come out in the bag. (Detailed details of specific breeding matters)

5. The honey bag shrew has round and large eyes and thin ears, which are the characteristics of nocturnal animals, which are completely nocturnal animals and irreversible.

6. Honey marsappers are social animals, and unlike hamsters, there is a chance of depression and self-harm if they are kept only one. But you can't raise two males together, it's best to raise polygamy or monogamy. If you only have one, you need to pay more energy to take care of it at night and play with it.

7. Honey bag shrew origin in Australia, like heat does not like cold, the suitable living temperature is about 25 to 30 degrees, the lowest can not be less than 10 degrees, less than 15 degrees, honey bag shrew body function began to decline, less than 10 degrees into a dormant state, curled up a lump of limbs hard sleepiness, and then low will die. So be sure to keep the temperature in winter.

8. The honey bag shrew has wing membranes on both sides of the body (so it is absolutely not possible to wear small clothes for the honey bag shrew), and can be glide for short distances. Note that gliding is not flying, and the honey bag is timid, and it will not take the initiative to glide until it is clearly seen and calculated the gliding angle and distance, unless it is forced to be helpless or fall off.
