After all, pets are not people, can not communicate directly with us in words, in general, if we want to know the status and health of pets, we can only observe their appearance and behavior to conclude, if the size of the pet suddenly changes drastically, or there is an abnormality in behavior, the shoveler needs to find out the cause as soon as possible, or take them to the hospital for examination, listen to the doctor's arrangement to prescribe the right medicine or injection.
There are also some pets more special, their health can be intuitively reflected in the body form, such as leopard print palace, frog eye palace, fat tail palace and other lizards, as well as fat tail gerbil (trade name macaroni powder rat), their thick tail is not only a decoration, or the organ that stores excess nutrients, if the nutritional needs are not met, the tail will be dry and thin, and the shoveler will have to give them a meal.
Honey bag shrew can actually reflect the degree of nutrition from the appearance, let's first take a look at the good state of the honey bag shrew, as shown below.
As you can see, the honey bag in the picture above is chubby, and the round-headed and round-headed is very cute. But fat and thin is actually not the most important, in the range of health is of course a little rounder is better, but there is also a degree, obesity will only bring harm to health.
Whether the honey bag shrew is well raised or not, in fact, it is not to see whether it is fat or not, but to see the color of its coat.
Friends who have raised honey bag shrews should know that honey bag shrews have different breeding genes, common ones include primary color honey bag shrew, white honey bag shrew, albino honey bag shrew (different from white honey bag shrew, albino eyes are red), platinum honey bag shrew, mosaic honey bag shrew, etc., their difference is mainly in the coat color, of which the primary color honey bag shrew is the most common.
The picture above is an ordinary primary color honey bag shrew, is a healthy honey bag shrew in good condition, let's take a look at the negative teaching materials, see the following figure.
In terms of obesity, the honey bag shrew in the above figure is fatter than the honey bag shrew in Figure 1, but its state is actually not good.
First of all, the first point is that such obesity is unhealthy; the second point is that its coat color is terrible. It and the honey bag shrew in the first picture are ordinary primary color honey bag shrew, but everyone can see that the first honey bag shrew black, gray and white part of the color is very positive, there is no yellow hair; and the honey bag shrew in the above picture should be white hair Part is yellow, and the part of the top of the head that was originally gray also shows a scorched yellow.
This is the main way to tell whether the honey bag is healthy, whether it is nutritionally sufficient, and whether it is in excellent condition. To put it simply, if your honey bag coat is yellow, it is abnormal and nutritionally unbalanced.
Just talked about obesity, how do we distinguish whether a honey bag shrew has exceeded the healthy body size range?
Weighing is one way, but honey bag shrew has individual differences, some honey bag shrew is already small, and some honey bag shrew has a wide skeleton, coupled with factors such as age and eating time, it is difficult to have a specific standard of weight. The simplest and most intuitive way to measure is to see if the honey bag shrew still has the ability to glide.
The gliding skill of the honey bag shrew is innate and necessary for survival, if it looks round and rumbling but can also glide, then it is still healthy, but if it is fat enough to not glide at all, it is obese and must be given weight.
So be reasonable, since you have been fed so fat, is it not a manifestation of overnutrition? Why does the coat color still turn yellow?
This is actually different, grow fat does not mean that nutrition is sufficient, take us humans, eat a lot of junk food every day will also become fat, but that is completely unhealthy, if you do not exercise, ingest comprehensive nutrition, the whole person even if very fat will only become weaker and weaker, will also be very easy to get sick, maybe when the braids.
If you only feed it foods that are too high in calories, such as nuts, meats and snacks with too high protein, it will indeed become fat, but it will also appear in the condition of the previous honey bag, that is, nutritional imbalance and poor coat color.
The fact that the coat color is yellow is most reflected in the white honey bag shrew. Let's take a look at the normal, healthy white honey, see the picture below.
The nutritionally balanced and healthy white honey is white, very white, just like the above one, neither excessive obesity, and the coat color is also very bright white. Such white honey is called white honey.
Then let's take a look at the negative teaching materials in the white honey to see what the uncultured white honey looks like, which is the one in the following picture.
Compare it with everyone to know that the white honey that does not have yellow hair color is pure white honey, and the white honey that is not well raised and the hair color is yellow will become yellow honey like the following picture. Some people who once raised white honey refute me, saying that "what I raise at home is not white honey, it is a cream honey bag, and the color is normal."
But sorry, cream honey is selected from the albino honey bag shrew, its main feature is red eyes, and there are light brown stripes on the head and back, and white honey is two different things, not well raised is not raised well.
However, one thing that needs to be explained is that the male honey bag shrew will have the habit of rolling on the urine after sexual maturity, and it may also be stained with yellow hair, but it is dyed, as long as it is not soaked, it can be wiped off with a wet wipe, which is different from the yellow hair caused by nutritional imbalance.
If you find that the color of your honey bag is yellow, don't worry, it is not impossible to recover, their coat color is staged, this stage you did not raise well, its coat color will be yellow, but in time to remedy and improve, then its coat color will also be slowly adjusted.
If you want to make the yellow honey into a honey bag shrew with good color, you need to pay attention to three points:
1. Ensure nutritional balance; 2. Refuse garbage snacks; Third, ensure adequate sleep.
First of all, if your honey bag shrew has yellow coat color all year round, then quickly change the staple food, do not choose r grain, replace it with the hpw brewed grain configured by the honey bag squirrel players themselves as a staple food, and must pay attention to feeding live insects, this absolutely can not be saved, there is no substitute.
Second, milk balls, cheese strips, biscuits, nuts and other snacks should be reduced in the amount of feeding, or simply discarded do not give the honey bag to eat, instead of providing fresh vegetables and fruits every day, first the fur color is sorted out before considering feeding snacks.
The third point is also very important, the honey bag shrew is a daytime nocturnal animal, if you always disturb its sleep during the day, hard to develop a day and night upside down work and rest habits, the endocrine system and pheromones of the honey bag will be disordered, nutritional rebalancing will also have an impact, so it is necessary to ensure that the honey bag is in a state of sleep during the day, so that they conform to the laws of natural life.
Finally, conditioning the coat color of the honey bag is a long process, and the shoveler must be patient and not give up halfway.
