Requirements for the breeding environment of pet minks

For pet ferrets, cages are a must for pet ferrets, and this smart animal will do bad things when the breeder doesn't take care of it.

The cloth is soft, easy to wash, cheap, and can be thrown away when it is rotten. Small rugs or sweaters, etc., can give pet minks a soft place to sleep, or you can let pet minks sleep in sweaters.

Check if its toenails are cracked or too long, which can hide dander in the toenails. Please do not use wood chips or shredded newspaper as bedding, they can become a breeding ground for bacteria. If the breeder is using cloth material as a mattress or on the bottom of the cage, check regularly to see if the pet mink will eat the cloth, and if there are any scattered pieces of cloth, long broken strips of cloth may become entangled in the pet mink, injuring or even injuring the pet. die. Washing the mat at least once a week can slightly reduce pet mink odors.
