First of all, let me introduce you to a concept: product name. Sometimes the real name of a certain pet is not popular enough and sounds very common, which may affect business opportunities. Therefore, in order to attract attention, businessmen will give this pet a name that sounds loud or special. This name is It's called a product name.

To give a few examples, friends who like parrots must know the name Cockatiel, but the official Chinese name of Cockatiel is Cocktail. Chicken Tail doesn't sound that powerful at first glance, but when the name Xuanfeng is said, it instantly becomes noble. There is also the Mexican axolotl. The official name is not very nice and even a bit difficult to pronounce, but it has a very domineering trade name called Hexagonal Dinosaur.

< p>I have to say that human business acumen is sometimes really powerful, and they are so artistic in naming animals. Squirrels are also one of the popular pets that many people like nowadays. There are many types of them, and one of them has a very domineering trade name. It is called the devil squirrel, or the devil squirrel or the big devil squirrel.

This name sounds like the final BOSS in an animation or game. The protagonist and the player have to go through a lot of trouble to attack it, but after defeating the devil, the princess can be rescued. Shame... no, live a happy life.

< p>Okay, let’s get serious. Since Devil Squirrel is a trade name, what is the official scientific name of this squirrel? Answer: Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris). It's still the same old trick, the real name is very ordinary, so I chose a brilliant and beautiful name.

As for the origin of the product name Demon King, it is said that it is because it usually has a black and white or red and white body, and its ears have long pointed hair, so the name Demon King was attached to it. But in fact, she is just a cute little cutie and has nothing to do with the evil boss.

Let’s briefly introduce the Eurasian red squirrel. It is widely distributed in the temperate and cold zones of Eurasia. There are currently more than 20 subspecies according to different distribution areas. Among them, most of the Eurasian red squirrels that are kept as pets are the Northeastern subspecies of Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris mantchuricus). There are also several subspecies of Eurasian red squirrels distributed in Russia. The trade name is "snow squirrel". The price is relatively high, but they are quite beautiful.

In fact, the snow squirrel and the devil squirrel are the same animal. They are both Eurasian red squirrels. They are just different subspecies, so the color of their coats is different.

Is the devil squirrel easy to raise? In fact, for novice pet owners, the devil squirrel is considered entry-level and not too difficult to raise. Moreover, the devil squirrel has a lively and docile personality. If raised since childhood, it can establish a very strong relationship with the shit shovel. It has excellent interactivity and has a certain IQ and learning ability.

I know a few friends who have raised devil squirrels for many years. They take their devil squirrels out to climb trees and play without a leash, and they will come back obediently after just calling. However, such a well-behaved devil is hard to come by, and the requirements for the shit shovel are also very high, so novices should not be anxious. It is best to tow him the whole time when taking him out to play, so as not to get lost.

Squirrels are rodents, and even the devil is no exception. They still need to actively wear them to fight against the growing incisors in order to achieve a balanced state. Therefore, when raising a devil squirrel, you must equip it with a device for grinding its teeth, which can be nuts, branches, or special molar food for rodents.

The devil squirrel is an arboreal squirrel that likes to climb and jump, so the cage prepared for it cannot be too narrow, and it is best to have a large cage with a certain height.

< p>You must not save money on the cage. This is not a consumable after all, so it is best to put more effort into it. If the cage is too small, it will easily cause the squirrel to react stereotypically. Stereotypic reaction is a type of stress reaction. The specific behavior is that the squirrel repeatedly jumps or wanders between two or three points in a narrow cage, repeating this meaningless cycle.

Don’t think this is cute. This is a sign of mental illness. If things go on like this, it will make the squirrel lose control of its mood and become manic. In severe cases, it will cause self-injury (self-mutilation), causing things that the poop collector does not want to see. as a result of. In the wild, the devil squirrel mainly eats young leaves, nuts, berries, and fungi, and occasionally catches worms and insects for food. It is a vegetarian-based omnivore. However, it is not recommended to feed devil squirrels in cages with nuts that are too high in fat for a long time, because squirrels in the wild do a lot of exercise every day to consume energy. No matter how much they jump in the cage, they cannot consume enough calories and fat. It is easy to Get fat.

Excessive obesity is prone to a variety of diseases, so it is best to choose professional squirrel feed with a variety of grains and a small amount of nuts, fruits, vegetables and teething sticks, and keep it healthy every day. A certain amount of exercise can be taken out and played with it. Not only can it lose weight and release the squirrel's nature, but it can also cultivate a relationship with the poop scraper.
