How to tame wild bamboo rats? Detailed explanation of taming techniques

As people's living standards continue to rise, people are becoming more and more particular about their choices, and wild products are increasingly favored by people. Of course, this is only one reason; there are also many other reasons that force us to choose wild bamboo rats for domestication and breeding when raising bamboo rats. So how should we tame wild bamboo rats?

Step 1: Treating injuries

If the captured wild bamboo rat has not been injured at all, you can skip this step entirely. Usually, when they are just brought down from the mountain, they often have injuries. For small external wounds, apply some red mercurochrome or Rifunur and other anti-inflammatory drugs, and the wound will scab over and heal in 2 to 3 days. For severe fractures, you can mash red-backed vegetables and goji leaf vegetables, mix in an appropriate amount of white liquor, heat it, then apply it hot to the fracture site and bandage it well. Change the dressing once every two days, and after one week of applying the medicine it will basically return to normal.

Step 2: Taming the diet

Wild bamboo rats have strong wildness and will show very strong resistance. If you feed them heavily right after capture, they will often refuse food and die. After bringing the captured bamboo rat home, keep it locked alone in a dark place for a few days (a bit like standing in a corner reflecting on its mistakes). Wait until it is extremely hungry, then feed it a small amount of juicy food, such as sweet potato. Always keep it in a semi-hungry state, feeding this way for 3 to 5 consecutive days. After that, gradually increase feeding of foods it normally likes, such as bamboo roots.

Step 3: Grouping

Bamboo rats seldom live in groups. To make management easier, they need to be grouped together. At this point, we can place a large mirror on each of the four sides of the rat pen. No matter where the bamboo rat goes, it will see a shadow just as aggressive as itself. Leave the mirrors in place like this for 3 to 5 days. When it no longer attacks the mirrors, then congratulations, the grouping has succeeded.

Of course, the above three steps are only a general taming process. In this process, what matters more is the breeder's careful observation and making adjustments according to the bamboo rat's reactions.
