A dwarf Japanese bamboo mouse

in #nature7 years ago

some time before I have all the mouse was the same, I began to learn to distinguish between the wild animals and birds, and even rodents.

And then one day met them. Never understood those who are afraid of mice, those who suffer from musophobia that they are terrible, what harm can they bring? Here the snake is quite another matter, and harmless mouse, so small and defenseless.

These little bamboo mouse from Japan occur in nature and are much smaller than the ordinary house mouse. In Japan they used them as animals for various laboratory tests. That is where they have shown some signs, such as small size and unusual brindle color.

Often such mice referred to as dancing or jumping. They can spin in one place for a few minutes, do amazing jumps, and sometimes lose the ability to navigate in space. For them it is very interesting to watch, they are so funny. The kids from them at all did not depart, and they seeing this, became more and more artistic. Gave them a real show with bathing and dousing. And the heat got to them.

in this weather is not to indulge in water treatment? And after such douches, it was possible to eat. The diet of the dwarf mice is the richest: and corn grains and sunflower seeds, and cucumbers, and a specially harvested Wheatgrass. They also like to eat apples and fresh salad, but everything listed prefer oat porridge. Oatmeal is their favorite delicacy.

These mice love the movement, they never sit idle, constantly turning, jumping, shuffling their tiny feet, and the wound on his "flat" from side to side.

Japanese mouse - very caring parents, and worried when something threatens their kids. Be careful with them and they will always bring their cheerful disposition and activity every day.
