Birth last 2-3 hours. From this point you can not disturb the family: move B, to touch the animals, do the cleaning. Before or immediately after the birth of male babies must be separated from the females and children wall with vertical narrow bars, lest there be a new pairing between parents, so new mothers suckle prevent pregnancy conceived offspring deplete her body and deprive milk brood. Such a lattice allow males and females to chat and do not forget each other. Newborns are born helpless, blind, hairless, weighing approximately 1 g, 1.3 cm in length and need constant mothering. The norm is when the mother settles nest collects lost children, leaves no long brood. Deviations from the norm should be cause for concern. Should always observe the family, especially in the early days. Otbivshegosya all recommended baby discreetly put it into the slot to the other newborns, clean hands, medical tweezers or a spoon. Were born homyachata, vociferous, this sound like a squeaking chicks. In 6 days newborns covered light guns and can somehow move. At the age of 9-10 days homyachata well oriented in their home, run, take extra food to the mother's milk. Mother begins itself to bring food to kids, and if not, you can put the food closer to the jack or directly into the socket. The first feeding is recommended to give a loaf soaked in infant formula, grated carrot, lettuce, clover, grass, oats, soaked in boiling water buckwheat or millet. With herbs carefully, in small quantities and washed. At 12-13 days the eyes open, hair becomes thick. Kids in this period is very nimble and agile, resemble miniature copies of the adults. The diet can gradually introduce fish and chicken (no salt), egg, cheese, apple, zucchini, sprouted wheat. The three and a half weeks homyachata noticeably grow and become independent from their parents. Weaned from the mother in 23 days. By gender seated in 1.5 months.

Sexing

Based on the anal-genital distance. In females, around, and males away from each other. Easier to identify by comparing hamster. Or to put hamsters in a clear container and look at them from the bottom up.

Selected for breeding healthy, well-fed, with a strong nervous system hamsters. It is desirable to form a pair in childhood, young animals quickly get used to each other. In the case where the chosen are adults, need to give them time to get used gradually. To put this in a terrarium with vertical baffle rods, which would allow the animals to see close and sniffs, but protected the least of possible conflicts. A week later, the grille can be removed.

Roborovski hamster mating 

Formed couple (male and female) are left in a cage for cohabitation and expectations offspring. Cycle of ovulation in females 8 days. Mating takes place on the day of ovulation. If the female offspring has been, then it is given rest after giving birth 2 months only after the rest it can again be reduced to the male. That is to remove the lattice between them to the following genera or until, as will be seen that the female pregnant.

pregnancy of Roborovski hamster

The gestation period of 24 days on average. Abdomen in female first pregnancy is not visible, so you must be careful not to disturb quietly born when doing the cleaning. Feeding the expectant mother should be balanced and nutritious, with a sufficient amount of protein, minerals and vitamins. See Food. During pregnancy and breastfeeding offspring samochki can bite (not hurt, they are too small). In the terrarium as bedding uses large sawdust. Must be one or two spacious cabins (without a bottom is more convenient), as Roborovskiy love all sorts of cover, and the female-mother sometimes carries homyachat from one to another.

Roborovski hamster breed is not easy, they are not as prolific as, for example, Campbell or Syrian. In addition, litter size is usually quite small, rarely 3-5 6 cubs. These facts can make Roborovskiy less attractive to breeders doing business. Roborovski Hamster This explains why little pet stores sell them. Breeder engaged Roborovski hamster professionally, doing it for the preservation of the species. 
Roborovski Hamster of both sexes - are lovely and caring parents. If no birth control, a couple can produce children every 3-5 weeks. desirable restrain couple, avoiding frequent pregnancy as it adversely affects the health of the parents and to introduce high child mortality. Some breeders believe that Roborovskiy breed at certain times of the year - in the spring and summer. Although opinions differ here ... Most likely, they react to climate, increased daylight and temperature. Considered an important factor in terms of content, close to the wild. Roborovskiy need shelter, where you can hide from view, just so they feel more confident. Roborovskiy not like being disturbed and often touching

Aardwolf, Aardwolf Reproduction, Food Aardwolf, The number of Aardwolf

Ground wolf - carnivore, but unlike the closely related species of hyenas, he - insectivorous. His typical diet - termites (Trinervi), insect larvae, and occasionally eggs of birds nesting on the ground. Protel periodically produces small mammals and birds. Due to the narrow specialization and food needs in a particular food, ground wolves found in regions where there are termites family Hodotermitidae. Termites of this family, in turn, depend on the distribution of some species of grasses and therefore their most populated some fields and savannahs, including farmland. Studies have shown that "addiction" earth wolf to arid regions has its reasons. This kind of specialized in nutrition not just termites, which are on the scale of Africa, there are about 150 species, and only a certain kind of termite nosed Trinervitermes, who live exclusively in the dry areas of the African tropics and subtropics. These termites live in organized family "states", feed pulp , built of clay (and numerous other species of termites in Africa) evolved elevated hills jacks ("termite"). But in contrast to most other types of these termites feed on wood and do not move in the tunnels due to dietary habits. Nosed termites Trinervitermes harvest grass under the open sky, regularly travels along the surface of the earth. In winter, when this kind of little termites active aardwolf switched to another type of termites that are active late dnem.U Protel no powerful claws or forepaws like anteaters, so he can not break into termite mounds, but it has a long and sticky tongue, which it is used to extract termites. This method allows him to eat at the same time a large number of termites. Average per night aardwolf can eat 200-300 thousand termites. This predator tries to memorize the location of termite mounds, which often returns to rid themselves of the need to find new ones. Lack of excavation wolves strong teeth and jaws, typical hyenas - an adaptation to their diet as insectivorous animals. Wolves are often close to carrion, but they do not eat it, but instead they eat grubs and other insects (and their larvae) that surround the dead animals.

The number of Aardwolf

Natives traditionally hunt wolves on earth for their meat and fur. This species is rare everywhere, but not among endangered. Observing them difficult nocturnal and total secrecy of the animal. The main threat to him are dog attacks, traffic accidents and poisoning by toxic substances used against insect pests. Earthmoving wolves play an important role in controlling populations of termites. In the list of the International Red Book aardwolf has the status of Lower Risk: Least Concern.

Aardwolf and man

Some people prey on earth wolf because of its fur, which is considered valuable, sometimes they are hunted and as a source of supply. Farmers consider these wolves useful and harmless animals.

Earth moving wolves form monogamous pairs. However, if the male is unable to defend its territory, the female mates with other, more dominant male, although the offspring later protects her regular partner. Estrus in females occurs in late June - early July (Northern Cape). Mating lasts up to 4 hours, females remain receptive from 1 to 3 days - so the puppies can be mixed paternity. If fertilization does not occur, the female re-enters estrus. Gestation lasts about 90 days, the female bears 2-4 pups (although in zoos observed litters of 1-5 puppies). In South Africa, the puppies are born from October to December, in the warmer northern areas (Botswana, Zimbabwe) during the breeding season is less pronounced Puppies for 3-4 weeks remain in the den, lair change about 1 time per month. Offspring of both parents involved. For 3 months male protects the territory from predators and about 6:00 at night guarding the den, while the female feeds. During the life of the female, whose lair guarded by males, with an average of 1.5 brought pup a year, which is 3 times more than single females. Up to 9 weeks puppies are not removed for more than 30 m from the den. 12-week-old puppies start to accompany parents on feeding, but still does not remove more than 300-500 m from the den. By 4 months of dairy feeding stops and goes to the young independent feeding, however, remains with the parents until the next breeding season, that is for 1 year. By 2 years of excavation young wolves reach sexual maturity. Captive lifespan - 13-15 years in nature is not precisely known, presumably about 10 years. The main predators are wolves black & brown earth jackals who were killed as puppies and adults. They also hunt lions, leopards and hyenas large.

Lifestyle Aardwolf

Protel mainly inhabit open, grassy savannas and open barren plains. This inhabitant of Fynbos - Mediterranean biome localized to the southwest corner of South Africa, on the latitude 20 ° to 33 ° S. and from 17 ° to 32 ° east longitude. Here cold and wet winters and hot and dry summer. The vegetation cover is poor, but most of these plants anywhere in the world no longer occurs. Scenery District Fynbos - fields, plains, rocky areas, semi-desert, savannah and hills. Aardwolf, aardvark, termites, hyenas, lions, and several species of reptiles and amphibians - are some of the animals that live there. Earthmoving wolves during the day resting in underground burrows. They usually use old holes anteaters and porcupines, despite the fact that they themselves can dig their own shelter. They often choose burrows anteaters, because they are located close to an abundance of termites, because anteater eats them too. We have two Protel paraanalnye odorous glands that secrete musk liquid used for marking territory and maintain communication with neighbors. When the wolf attacked by wild dog, leopard, predator or another person, he immediately picks up the ridge on the back, visually increasing in size, while it may roar to scare off an attacker. It also takes a transverse position to the enemy and emits a strong unpleasant odor from the anal glands. This protection is almost as effective as a skunk spray solution. Often earth wolf can be seen in pairs or small groups. This solitary animal, except during lifting youth. Several females with calves may occupy the hole, forming small groups in which young people grow together. In this species, there is no permanent groups because of their peculiar diet. Since excavation wolves eat termites, they do not need any help in the hunt. Protel does not migrate from its territory, an area which may be 1-4 km in diameter. He marks his territory musky fluid from its anal glands, placing secret on the leaves of grasses. Marking territory engaged in both sexes, although the males do it more often.
