The latest guidelines from the China Small Animal Protection Association state that adult golden bears need to drink 5-10ml of water every day. If they do not drink water for 12 consecutive hours, immediate intervention is required. Recommended for breeders:
1. Use a special measuring cup with a minimum scale of 1ml for monitoring.
2. Use an electronic scale to check your weight regularly (be wary if it fluctuates by more than 10%)
3. Set up 2 drinking points at different heights in the cage
According to the June data of Douyin #金丝熊 topic, 87% of water repellency can be improved within 3 days after correct intervention. If trying the above methods for 48 hours does not work, it is recommended to bring a fresh stool sample for medical examination.
