Nutria (15 Pics): Care, Pros and Cons

#13 Sufficient air access and a swimming pool.

The reservoir can be artificial or natural, but always clean. Without it, the animals will not be able to fully grow and develop. Water is simply necessary for these animals, as they lead a semi-aquatic lifestyle. Without a pool, no farmer will get an excellent quality pelt.

#14 Family-style home furnishings.

Regardless of whether nutria grows in a cage or in an aviary, they need to be populated with one male and three or four females. Such a family will produce a good and healthy litter. Young, sexually mature males should be kept separate from each other to avoid fighting and nibbling.

#15 Nutria is an animal that naturally spends most of its time in the water.

The nipples (and they have 4-5 pairs) of females are high on the sides, so newborn puppies can consume milk without going on land. With proper care and nutrition, the mother has enough fatty and healthy milk for her litter. The female feeds her children for no more than 30 days, then the insides switch to normal food.

Puppies are born with hair, teeth, and open eyes. From the moment of birth, they are completely independent and after a couple of days, they consume the food of adults.
