How much does a red-bellied squirrel cost? What food does it generally eat?

The red-bellied squirrel lives in dense mountain forests. It has a rather delicate appearance, ears without tufts, and bright, lively eyes. Since it is called the red-bellied squirrel, of course its belly fur is red, while its body is brown-black. It is agile and lively, and very clingy (extremely clingy, in my opinion it is the clingiest squirrel). Adult squirrels are charmingly naive and extremely endearing. So how much does a red-bellied squirrel cost? What food does it generally eat?

1. How much does a red-bellied squirrel cost?

The price of a red-bellied squirrel is about 200 to 400 yuan each. The price of red-bellied squirrels varies with the season. Usually, after the sales period of the Mongolian squirrel ends, its price doubles, because after the Mongolian squirrel sales end, basically only red-bellied squirrels remain, so as rare things are precious, the price usually doubles. From March to April each year, the price is about 300 to 400 yuan each; from May to August, during the squirrel hot season, the price stabilizes at around two hundred; after August, once Mongolian squirrel sales end, it doubles to about 400 yuan.

A newly arrived adult rat is often in a very tense state. Everyone also knows that squirrels are very timid animals, and being in a tense state for a long time will seriously affect their health, and in severe cases cause death.. For training, you can choose to do it when the squirrel is hungry. You can slightly open the entrance of the cage and hand the food in. At first, the squirrel may feel afraid, but after repeated training for about 10 days, it can basically adapt with peace of mind.

2. What food does the red-bellied squirrel generally eat?

1. Melon seeds: buy raw ones. They are easy to buy, so they can be said to be an important staple food for squirrels, namely the first staple food for squirrels. Retail price: 3~5/jin. Pine nuts: raw ones are rare and expensive, and can be used as snacks [Tip: if pine nuts are often fed, it is possible that the squirrel will later give up melon seeds as a staple food, so the feeding cost will increase by more than 7 times. Therefore, it is recommended to use them as snacks, 2~5 pieces a day is enough)

2. Peanuts: this can be used as the second staple food for squirrels.

3. Walnuts: this can be used as the third staple food for squirrels.

4. Some beans: there are not many bean foods that squirrels like to eat, and they need to be tried. Beans are very nutritious and can supplement trace elements. The price depends on the bean variety. [Tip: beans should be fed fresh or soaked in water, do not give dry ones, as they are not easy to digest]. Based on my personal experience, I think squirrels relatively like soybeans, edamame, broad beans, etc. Occasionally cooked ones can be given, but definitely only a little.

5. Corn: this food has a great attraction for squirrels. Whether fresh corn, rehydrated corn [dried corn soaked soft in water], or cooked corn, squirrels all like it very much. In summer, be sure not to miss giving squirrels fresh corn, it is so nutritious! [Tip: for cooked corn, do not give waxy corn, not good!] Oatmeal and other grains, oil crops, dried fruits: raisins, dried apples, dried peaches, dried pineapple, dried kiwi, all kinds of dried fruits. I suggest not pickled ones, for example many dried peaches and dried apricots are pickled, but many supermarkets sell oven-dried dried fruits.
