什么松鼠好养不贵?
本人在宠物店工作四年,看到太多人来买猫和狗,总是忽略掉小可爱的松鼠们。(其实鼠鼠也特别可爱!) 首先来区分一下国内可以养的4种松鼠:
1、花松鼠 Pet shop staffed that I know of have never worked with this species and they are the most expensive to buy as it is difficult to find them in pet shops. They were made illegal a few years ago due to their protection status. There was even an attempt to make them illegal to own as pets because so many were captured from the wild (they're an invasive species). You can only get one from a rescue group if you're lucky.
2、树松鼠 这个算比较好养的,也比较普遍有卖的。 I work at multiple stores/zoo all over the US, mostly on the east coast where we see most guests. This is your average squirrel but instead of living high up in the trees like your average groundhog, these guys are tree-dwellers and spend much more time overhead than other rodents we deal with. Their favourite food is acorns so they smell nice and their fur is soft. You will need to shell out for hutches big enough for them to run around in though since they are not fond of being caged.
3、北极仓鼠 Hmm...not too sure about this one. Never seen or heard of anyone having a pet one before. I guess you could ask on a forum for rehoming if you want one badly. It looks cute but not really that cuddly. Not sure how well it would do with kids or dogs. Again, it smells good when cleaned regularly.
4、布袋鼠 这只算是比较贵的了,一般宠物店的零售价都在600以上。因为数量非常少并且受到保护。如果运气好你可能能在宠物店看到这个可爱的小家伙。这个也算是比较聪明的动物,会自己打开笼子跑出来玩然后躲起来。很难抓住又喜欢爬高。 ==========
总结一下,建议新手从树松鼠或花松鼠开始养起,最好别养太可爱的如北极仓鼠或是布袋鼠,除非你已经做好了十足的准备。
