What is a breeding box? A New Choice for Modern Aquaculture
A breeding box is a small enclosed or semi enclosed container used for artificially raising animals and plants, commonly found in households, laboratories, or small farms. Unlike traditional farming methods, breeding boxes provide stable growth conditions for animals and plants by controlling environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. It is suitable for the cultivation of insects (such as ants, crickets), small crawling pets (such as lizards, turtles), aquatic organisms (such as fish and shrimp), and even miniature plants, with both ornamental and functional properties.
What are the materials of the breeding box? How to choose?
The material of the breeding box directly affects its durability and applicable scenarios. Common materials include:
Plastic: Lightweight and inexpensive, suitable for short-term farming or small organisms such as insects.
Glass: Good transparency, easy to observe, commonly used in aquariums or pet climbing.
Acrylic: lighter and impact resistant than glass, but prone to scratching.
Metal mesh cage: Highly ventilated, suitable for animals that require high ventilation (such as some birds and rodents).
5 essential environmental control systems for breeding boxes
Do you want organisms to grow healthily in a breeding box? These devices are essential:
Temperature control device: Heating pad or constant temperature lamp to maintain a suitable temperature.
Humidity meter: equipped with spray or humidifier to adjust humidity.
Lighting system: Simulate natural light cycles (such as UVB lights being crucial for climbing pets).
Ventilation design: Fans or ventilation holes should be used to avoid stuffy and humid environments.
Cleaning tools: facilitate regular cleaning of excrement or residue.
Why can breeding boxes improve survival rates? Unveiling Scientific Principles
The breeding box reduces the uncertainty of the natural environment through artificial intervention:
Isolate pathogens: Avoid threats from natural enemies or pathogens in the wild.
Stable parameters: Constant temperature and humidity reduce biological stress response.
Precise feeding: Control the amount of food and nutrient ratio.
From Beginner to Advanced: 3 Ways to Play in a Breeding Box
Basic version: Easy to operate organisms such as silkworm babies and hamsters.
Interest Edition: Creating an Ecological Tank (such as Rainforest Scenery+Arrow Frog).
Professional version: Breeding rare species such as beetles and corals.
How to choose a suitable breeding box for pet cats/dogs?
Material: It is recommended to use metal mesh or reinforced plastic to ensure ventilation and resistance to scratching and biting.
Size: The height should allow pets to stand, and the length should be sufficient to turn around (cats should be at least 1m ², dogs should increase according to their body size).
Function: It can be paired with a sunshade roof and an anti escape lock buckle, making it more flexible for both indoor and outdoor use.
Safety Tip: Avoid sharp edges and corners, regularly check the door lock to prevent pets from escaping.
How to arrange the breeding box to make the birds more comfortable?
Basic configuration:
Habitat (with a thickness that matches bird claws, natural branches are even better).
Food basin and water basin (placed separately to prevent contamination).
Environmental optimization:
Hanging toys (to prevent boredom and feather pecking).
Lay moisture absorbing pads at the bottom (such as corn cobs or paper pads).
Notes:
Avoid plastic plants (danger of ingestion).
Clean and disinfect every week to prevent the growth of mold.
How to maintain the water circulation system of the breeding box?
Essential equipment:
Filter (select flow rate based on fish tank capacity).
Oxygen pump (additional oxygen supply required for high-density farming).
Maintenance frequency:
Change 1/3 of the water every week and clean the filter cotton (using the original tank water to avoid damaging nitrifying bacteria).
Check the water pump for blockages every month.
Common Misconceptions:
Do not change the entire tank of water at once.
Tropical fish need to maintain a constant temperature (monitored by a heating rod and thermometer).
