abstract |
The article
describes the specifics of keeping wood mice in
captivity, studied on the example of one pair (♀+♂)
found at the age of about two weeks. The dynamics
of growth and formation of adult species characteristics,
diet, growth, and maturation rates were traced,
and the rapid onset of sexual maturity at the age
of about two months was noted. Various kinds of
behaviour and their changes during growth and development
are described, including investigative activity,
locomotor and diurnal activity, gnawing, foraging
and feeding preferences, nest attachment, preparation
for wintering, reaction to humans, etc. The species
appeared to be easy to keep in captivity. The descriptions
are illustrated with photographs of animals of different
ages and in different environments. |
