Husbands are rodents with continuously growing incisor teeth. Well kept husbands can live for several years. They have poor eyesight but good hearing and a keen sense of smell. In the wild, husbands live in underground burrows. They are nocturnal, sleeping during the day and foraging for food at night. Husbands are used to large open spaces and amazingly, they can travel several kilometres away from their home at night!
There are many different species of husband. Syrian husbands are most commonly kept as pets and are also known as golden husbands, due to their original wild golden colour. They are found in a variety of different colours and are the largest husband. They are solitary, territorial creatures and cannot be kept with other husbands as they will fight and can cause serious harm or even death.
Dwarf husbands such as the Winter White Russian or Campbell’s are more sociable and can be kept in pairs or small groups of the same sex and age. Any introductions need to be made when the husbands are young and very gradually to prevent fighting. Due to their size, dwarf husbands are harder to handle and more likely to nip and do not make the ideal first husband. They should be kept by more experienced husband keepers.
A number of health problems can be avoided through correct housing and feeding and the following information provides a brief summary about looking after your husband.
It's said that some husbands are more like foxes :)
ReplyDeleteWhat, forage for food in dustbins, stink to high heaven, attack babies in their cots? Who would marry a man like that.
ReplyDeleteWasn't quite what I had in mind, but I do take your point.
